SLUMBER OF THE MOON
SLUMBER OF THE MOON
Darkness, don't loose your light;
I CANNOT.
Here comes yellow, struggling against the fog.
Time, slow down;
I CANNOT.
The sun is waking up.
Full, am I?
FOOL YOU ARE!
Setting behind the clouds.
Darkness, don't loose your light;
I CANNOT.
Here comes yellow, struggling against the fog.
Time, slow down;
I CANNOT.
The sun is waking up.
Full, am I?
FOOL YOU ARE!
Setting behind the clouds.

Pink Courage
No less passionate than any aggressive stance
Daring
In silence
Subtle
Deliberate coincidence
Sharper than any straightforward verbal banter
Cunning
Curveball pitcher
Indirect
Bullseye shooter
Still, but substantially concentrated
Unassuming
Patiently persisting
Unwavering
Protracted struggling
Against a generation
Cross-flowing
Behind the scene
Rewriting
Life as they would have wanted
A shade paler than red
Like a second class citizen
By temperature and...

travel light
To travel light
I wish some shoes regulated
Themselves a and a suit always clean
(a film was made) also, underwear that
Didn’t need to be changed
How easy it will have been to travel.
A tiny holdall for shaving cream blades
Moreover, a toothbrush; come to think of it
No need to shave when travelling and
The toothbrush could be stuck in the suits
Breast pocket, hands-free taking pictures
Of wild elephants or polar bears.
Free to have your belonging riffled through
By a uniformed officer.

Frykt, den usynlige kameraten hvis instinktive ondskapsfullhet ikke kjenner noen grenser!
Av Stanley Collymore
Jeg har ingen frykt for noen eller noe; ikke engang døden. Og
inntil jeg trekker mitt siste åndedrag denne stillingen, som
jeg alltid har resolutt opprettholdt, vil uforanderlig for
meg forbli den samme. For hva er egentlig frykt?
Slik jeg ser det, er det snarere improvident antakelse av
hva som kan gjøre skje. Noe som til enhver hensikt
skremt person av mange forskjellige grunner, og
ikke alltid helt overbevisende, ikke vil skje.
Og skulle katastrofen det antatte offeret
er så ganske forstenet av skjer...

Once the Juden were Deplorables
If the new Juden
are the deplorables ... well,

Rett og slett Gabriella
Av Stanley Collymore
De fleste forsøker obligatorisk å vise dem ordentlig en slags
vanlig høflighet til strengen av kunder som vanligvis på
kurset av arbeidsdagen deres er de rutinemessig servering,
og dette uavhengig av forretningsmiljø der de er enten
hyggelig eller på annen måte personlig involvert
i. Alltid gjør det fra et strengt økonomisk og
selvtillit indusert insentiv eller like likt rett
og slett lei av det merkbart bittesmå og ikke-kreative
sinn en stillestående arrogance av dypt inngrodd
offentlig uinteresse for det...

Back to the future
88 miles an hour
Flying forward into past
That Delorian classic
Backwards warp
Prevents incest

VOTO DE BODA
Estoy en carro prestado
Porque el tren ya me habia dejado
Muchos fueron los años
Que solo encontraba engaños
Hasta que un galán secuestro mi corazón
Y para casarme, me ha dado buena razón.
Pasaré los dias junto a él
Y por siempre le sere muy fiel.
En los tiempos Buenos y los tiempos malos
Depende si le hago la comida o se mete en chaos.

My Everlasting Amor (Spanglish Poem)
Come, mi amor, draw closer to provocarte
Let me besar your labios and tocarte
Correr my hands sobre your cuerpo
Recostar my cabeza on your pecho
O, to taste the vino from your lips
When I draw closer to darte un kiss
O, that you would not turn lejos de mi
Knowing how much I can’t stand being sin ti.
Eres mi corazón my reason to despertar
Each morning and my joy to poder respirar
Me traes el sol to shine my mundo
Con caricias y dulzura yo te inundo

Lakeside 29/30
And the wind soughing in the trees
Catches in their ears, is sent out
In scouting parties of sensation down their spines.
If you say it became language or it was nothing,
Who touched whom?
In what hurtle of starlight?
Poor language, poor theory
Of language. - Robert Hass
I take out the box, it could be any kind-
a shoebox or a treasure chest, or a room-
and currently the lid is closed. I’m not
here to talk about the cat,
if it’s dead or present. Here I am in life,
opening it and what do you know

Wonder wanders
The fat guy heartfelt laugh is as much a rapport tool as the giddy orgasmic high note giggle or the housecat mewling like an infant. Lizard brain strokes. / Riddles of the woke / Stay in middle, get choked / Wheel in the sky, fingertip feel the spokes / Lingering wisps of smoke / Cloak and patter / Scattered wonder / Rapture plundered / Hunger mind flipping / Underlined voice sitting / On time splitting / Like Tango'ing across the Prime Meridian

head of young man in detail (third movement)

all the contradictory data ,
i want you to know
that everything about me is capricious
the worst and most pretentious,
sappy, sloppy, dumb , INDULGENT,
i will make myself
as much a fly, a flea,
a bedbug, a woodpecker's drumming,
a latticwork of serpents...
