I cower in her sands
Burying my head in her hands
I’m transported back home
Harkening to little footsteps roam
My wife is out with her friends
In search of her afterparty cleanse
The night is still young
I taste its intentions on my tongue
Time for my daughter’s dreams to ascend
Playing back my naughty thoughts as they suspend
I don on my maid
Purifying our quarters for a romantic cascade
The feng shui must compliment the mood
Candles and rose petals elevate my servitude

Who does a god confess to?
Who gives a god absolution?
Penance
Who judges the judge?
Who counsels the almighty?
What laws govern a god's actions?
How does one hold a god accountable?
How does one police a god?
How does one stop a god from hurting instead of helping?
What if a god is fallen?
How does one kill a god?
How does one save a god?
How does one know when a god needs saving?
How does a god know he needs help?
When a god fails ...

The Lord of the Poems
He scrubs off the dust
Stock-piling on the shelves of his mind
His battles with writer’s block
Has disrupted and crippled him blind
He perfects his deserted wooden partner
Freeing her of idle hands imprisoned in webs
So many masterpieces were birthed on her mahogany
Stitched together with his will and the ink of his quill’s threads
He ignites his candle
Indenting its motives on her corner
He fishes his pond for his thoughts
Never quite understanding his bait is a foreigner
He opens the gates
That has been...

verb - as in psychiatry:
-The subtle act of harming or taking one’s own life or the life of another - or other living beings - while in a deep state of unconsciousness – as one who sleepwalks. - [/i]
Awakening from slumber, I rise from the bed
One glance out the window, the moon glows red.
Digital time stopped ticking at six-six-six.
At a far-off distance, faucet runs drip-drip-drip.
A look at my hands, bathed in blood
Following footprint-trails of dirt and mud. ...

We Survived Their Attack Part 3
(A perfect partner). Page 5
I sensed her beautiful qualities hiding among the flock
A fragile and bruised lotus whose petals wept in shock
Her face was painted in a painful expression
Her stems ached a sullen sadness deeply rooted in depression
A haloed Nimbus hovered above her gloom
As if it wanted to antagonize her doom
She tried her best to mask her suffering
But there was just something about her that was puzzling
Her puddled reflection sang of happiness in her rain
Could she be the one? I had to know her name

Livorno
Livorno
The communist uprising in Livorno was a serious menace to Italy because that army sent tanks, not big tanks but big enough in narrow streets
At the railway station, I met a small woman with a big
suitcase, I offered to carry it for her; little did I know she lived outside the town; it was a burdensome walk on unlit roads
At the parvenue cafe, I met a woman I had seen before
Short black hair of dubious gender (let them guess)
sat drinking Pernod, smoking a cigarette that had the aroma of oriental express
I must have seen her before. Was it in...

Dance of the Dead
Peering out the old cottage window, facing the cemetery across the street
Bored with nothing to do, to go, and no one to meet.
The pale moon shines full and bright with no clouds to cover.
The night breeze gently blows-open the shutters;
it’s a perfect night for such a long summer.
Grandpa’s old clock strikes at midnight; without expecting anything spectacular
I take, in my hands, grandpa’s bird-watching binoculars. ...

We Survived Their Attack
(All is lost). Page 1
I python a deathly grip
Dramatically ensuring they don’t slip
The frame cracks from my pressure
Almost severing my treasure
Four years of married life
A beautiful daughter and a loving wife
Her fourth birthday was just around the corner
The echoes of her laughter in my heart are now stronger
Her thirty-fifth birthday came in fast to quickly vanish
Her sole desire in life was to learn Spanish
Glass pulverizes under my feet
Grinding its teeth as they escort me to my seat

the beat of the flats
the veil of the clock drops
along rungs of the shying sun
the day’s final crackling
swings an off switch
propel a toe to heel back to front
onto a still pulsation of pagan rope
fire fingers wildness, water palms stacco
earth hairs happenstance, air limbs bright
upon an unbearable openness
as stars dip scooping land
love to our own devices
that drive neon masks breathless stomp vibratoless
I am the Gnome when digging the Foxes

Ambulance
I fall asleep, wake in the woods,
spy an axe lodged in a tree trunk-
I see nobody else around, but I feel
the vines creep on the ground.
Lodged in my throat, I ask the tree trunk
why nobody's around, spy a glint
creep like tendrils on the ground
proclaiming ambulate, ambulate.
My body spins down nowhere; a glint
like eyeballs roll as tendrils into mulch,
my legs proclaim it’s too late to ambulate
for a thrown star sticks out of my chest....

Guilt
Why do you still hold on to that foolish hope?
Surely you know that you are better suited alone
Why lie that anyone should care for you?
You take without guilt or discrimination
Do not pretend to have grown a conscience
How do you think yourself good?
You only speak to them when you want something
And leave them unable to answer
You will always hunger
Always thirst
And never learn
Surely you know that you are better suited alone
Why lie that anyone should care for you?
You take without guilt or discrimination
Do not pretend to have grown a conscience
How do you think yourself good?
You only speak to them when you want something
And leave them unable to answer
You will always hunger
Always thirst
And never learn

SHE
It is beautiful raining morning.
The traffic is set like military greetings the flag.
The red light of the cars decorate the blurry view through the torring rain pour.
And the windscreen clean gently waving left and right and believers waving hand in worship.
From my window I glance at the beauty of the nature.
It was all quiet. The rain beating the earth like Chinese "gaogu"
Rythme with the cars engines.
Her perfect body sculpted by the suprime God himself, appear at the gaze of all.
Her beautiful hands move...
