Wine Poems

How much simpler
and yet vastly more complex,
diversely resonant,
past decisions to hire the credentialed professional elite
also choices not to hire a charismatic
brown-skinned
ecofeminist,

And how much more resilient
urgently cooperative
corporate win/win covenant repercussions might have been
if we stopped compartmentalizing,
and started intersectionalizing,
creolizing
transubstantiating
synergizing
integrating
regenerating
co-arising and co-gravitating
Win/Win assertiveness...Read More

If you have sense 
Do sensible things 
lf you can reason then 
Do rational things
If you can talk talk aright
When you're permitted
To see don't see doom
Learn not to condemn
The foolish acts of others 
Without pouring them 
The water of solution

Two drunks converged in a crowed bar
And sorry that I knew them both
And be one patron, long I stared
Looking out for each I really cared
As both of them bent I swore an oath;

I helped the one, and deemed it fair
He...Read More

SHANTELLE

Made of stone, Shantelle - a tower.
Castille of knightly breeding, she
causes a coward to cower
or a headstone as one’s marquee.

Marble robes of nobility -
curves like pert Kanagawa wave.
Shantelle’s immortal legacy,
her character - Mount Fuji brave.

Jutting cliff of Collinsport, Maine -
widow’s...Read More

The flight to Austria with the teachers,
We shared accomodation when we landed.

I signed up for ski lessons instead taking a tour of Salzburg.
Two weeks of lessons and we were destined to ski the highest mountain in Austria.

The Patscherkoepfle  was...Read More

I am tranquilized smoke of the tired compulsion
I am cigarettes cinder hidden into the ashtray
I am the priceless cover of the old wine bottle
I am the strayed love child lying in the dark innards of night
In legitimacy, I am lost...Read More

In the intimate interlace of chance and fate, in the ultimate interplay of time and place, and with the consummate checkmate of my human dignity, all that is -- is over, in the stormy, swarming space of mere moments.

Share with me a picnic of love,
we will arrive in the verdant meadow,
welcoming us to sit under the sweeping limbs
of the willow tree as it provides welcome shade,
I open open up the wicker basket of delights
like the sparkle in your...Read More

Would you turn the other chick if you were hit by Mike Tyson?
Would you let your would be killer smile at you and kiss you on your chick?
With the ability to turn water into wine, would you refuse to own...Read More

Investment In Heaven
Written: by Miracle Man
2-20-2020

My finances never deprive me of needed sleep,
though thoughts of collecting, find me somewhat beguiled.
Because I enumerate blessings, not counting sheep,
In Heaven you'll find my retirement plan is now filed.


Proactively I check on its growth...Read More

on the evening sky
wedding moon enjoying flute
where we are lyric

ring of heart rhythm
brings a feeling of springtime,
handcuffs the bird's life

rising the love shore
under the mild kissing feet
where pebbles sing song

on the pink white grass
the whole night tells fairytale
water-fall greets breath

firefly...Read More

Here I am sitting in the park again
Sapping the sweat from my face
My Spirit is at ease and mind is settled
The tumultuous moment has passed
And you have finally come out of the dark
The stage is set and I have won...Read More

The New Wine.
The Light that shines.
The Air of Existence.
No far distance.
The Living Oil.
Shall never spoil.
The Sweet Bread.
Rose from the dead.
The Wise King.
The Reason to sing.
The Water that flows.
Rescuer from our foes.
The Match.
To attach.
The Burning Flame
Has One Name,
Jesus

Hot water crisis

Suddenly no hot water
We didn’t have hot water in my childhood
We had to boil water on a kettle
Pour it into a bowl, add cold water and wash
The vital parts.
It was when it was a communal bath, I discovered
Hot...Read More

the wine was 
from Italy so

instead

of using

The old soviet-union 

It must have been winter when the old tank skip
Sailed through the Dardanelles into the Black sea
Which was full of ice flakes.

The ship was loading oil in a town I have forgotten
The name of, but I do...Read More

You’re that girl at the party 
The one who I see coming 
Who’s going to want to talk about 
Slavery or banjo or climate change

I’ve been waiting hoping you’d be here
It’s been a nice time drinking my wine
Talking about what’s...Read More
