Unilingual Poems


The Third Voice

A dark and faceless bedroom
consents to talk with me awhile.

The brain buzzes on
being its usual endless 
blunt toothed saw. 
The body belches and rumbles
as it tirelessly works to produce 
the odd snort or snore.

All is a normal stasis on an escalator
speeding to nowhere,
Just the random outtakes 
from under-rehearsed thoughts
dropping like dying mammoths
into tar pits of forgetfulness.

Beyond all these moving parts 
is a soundless voice,
a voice I realize I had left somewhere
returning now to show me 
where a loss had occurred.

It was there at a bifurcation 
in a nowhere place.
that two voices grew deaf to each other,
but now in this instant 
the voices have become
a synchronized dance of one.

I am translucently unilingual
through my mouth and ears.
An oceanic speech
funneled through a shell of self.

This is how the All speaks, said one voice.
This is how the All listen, said the other.

A third voice said:
and here is the holiness of silence.

A One Two Three Is Neither a One To One Or a Two Plus Six

Oh great. It is time to build a snowman in a fire place. Just ensure even placement and it is imperative to use the fire guard. Shrink sinking surrounding shaping shifting sailing sip. A shapeless garment on a large frame is jumping over road works now. Wow. A flying flurry of conquering onion and garlic pie with the scent of one star anise. And a bay leaf. Air no charging herd of bank notes to a horizontal horizon for horizontal happens here having horses, hounds and hippopotamus heals in a radius of two point eight circular twilight buds. Now move. Form a queue of nouns and get served by an asterisk shaped female. Whose antics in the pie aisle is packed with generically green grand groups and one smiling pea has now returned from a world cruise. Hahaha tinkling travelling trademarks trampling trampolining tyrannosauruses'. Hahaha collection of forks linking hands with the spoons then go sledging on a six wheeled bike. Ghanaian going out for dinner. Xxxxx multidisciplinary z that was the p Y Q reporting from a swirl of zones on a fifty acre cake. Z. Unilingual z and a diagram of a dish clapping. Z
