Something on nature
Lobo fill me with sweet memory of flaming mellows n grampa farts..then break mih heart! Stay awake burn scars i wish i could not see. But god damned this is natures fiery beaut of bounty with a Steinbeck touch.
Rattlebone Breezes
-----------------------
Wind
thrums
electric
threading
through
fingertips
phalanges
dangling
at sides
Rattling
laminae
like
rattan
chimes
sending
shivers up
xylophone
spines
Teeth hum
zephyr
turned to
tempest
squall
tunes
an osseous
anthem
galvanized

From blood to dust, and back again
With every light comes a shadow
And with life comes death
There is life that thrives above the ground
And also thriving on the death below
For without death
There is no life
And without life
Death provides
The lion lives to kill
The gazelle would kill to live
But that's just how things are
Above the dirt or below the water
Are stories told in scars
From beetles gorging in rotting flesh
To trees thriving on our exhausted breath
Day gives way to night
The sparrow sleeps as the bat takes flight
Every up has a down
And from that down
Something comes up
Wales die and become sustenance for the bottom feeders
Everything dies to feed the people
But if people died
Everything would thrive
Because death provides
Death feeds life
And life becomes death
From blood to dust, and back again
Night gives way to day
But the shadows are never far away
What's the purpose of human life?
To feed the zombies when they arrive
Then death will feed on death
Because death provides
With every light comes a shadow
And with life comes death
There is life that thrives above the ground
And also thriving on the death below
For without death
There is no life
And without life
Death provides
The lion lives to kill
The gazelle would kill to live
But that's just how things are
Above the dirt or below the water
Are stories told in scars
From beetles gorging in rotting flesh
To trees thriving on our exhausted breath
Day gives way to night
The sparrow sleeps as the bat takes flight
Every up has a down
And from that down
Something comes up
Wales die and become sustenance for the bottom feeders
Everything dies to feed the people
But if people died
Everything would thrive
Because death provides
Death feeds life
And life becomes death
From blood to dust, and back again
Night gives way to day
But the shadows are never far away
What's the purpose of human life?
To feed the zombies when they arrive
Then death will feed on death
Because death provides

The Pearl, and Of Mice and Men are bibles to me ... I haven't read Steinbeck in forever but I find his influence seeping in when I write about my grandmother or my summers in Carolina ... Thanks for the nod, you're AWESOME

Love Sky
Looking at you with loving eyes,
Above us hangs the starry sky.
Pulling me down on top of the blanketed grass,
In your hands, you cup my ass
With those firm hands of yours,
In my heart, I have never felt so pure.
The moon smiles as you kiss me gently,
Passionately and so intently.
Make me yours and you will be mine,
As we lay forever, entertwined.

My beautiful human child,
I don't need you!
but you do!
you use me
and abuse me
you sold me out
like I'm a wrecked whore
auctioning me in public
killing my children for your sport
how could you kill your own brothers
how could you rape your own sisters
you built cathedrals
to your never seen father
my precious child
how could you forsake your mother
I give you wind when you sweat
I make it heat when you shiver
I sheltered you for a thousand years
and I will for another
don't worship me
don't pray for me
please acknowledge me
stop your stupid fights
over something you don't really own
you fear your father's wrath
you don't see my tears
because
you don't love me,
but I do !
your loving mother,
Nature.

You Never Call
I’m your mother for heaven’s sake
would it hurt to pay me a visit?
step out of doors and take a break
that can’t be too difficult, is it?
Bathed in fluorescent facsimile of sunlight
you sit staring, transfixed by a screen
oblivious to the passing of day to night
seeking peace in an airbrushed pastoral scene
Observing seasons change from a 31st floor pew
one escalator, one elevator you’re there
In no way can equal my mountaintop view
reached by forested trail in crisp Autumn air
Come home, hijo mío, to your dear Mother earth
simplicity, peace, and harmony abound
fly back to the nest for your sacred rebirth
make haste for too soon you will lay underground

awe and wonder
It’s cold, a wet 21 degrees
Battleship gray as far as the eye can see
Rain pounds my tin roof
Instant waterfalls curtain me
While he, black as night, keeps me company
Caroling, keeping dry under the eaves
The trees and leaves glisten and sigh
Thankful for respite from the dry
Sunrays break through the rain
Diamonds have touched my terrain
Leaves twist and turn, floating to the ground
Beauty in Nature is always found

I am a miracle.
I was knitted in the forge of breath and dust.
I put down roots
To the heart of the Earth
And blinked in the blaze
Of the same sun that
Bathed Eden in its light.
I drew a huge breath
From the cumulonimbi that
Have risen from the sea
And surfed the sky since the dawn of time
And I learned to dance
On the same land
Where the ancient kings made their final beds.
I wove my own words
And made a poem
That no one had ever read before.
I’m as weak as a wildflower
Here for just a moment
My roots and bones grew straight
In the same soil as everyone else
Someday new feet will dance
Where my forgotten bones lie…
But maybe that
Is still a miracle.

She Doth Spake Gently Upon Yonder Request
don't fuck with Mother Nature
if you fuck with Mother Nature
she will annihilate ya.
don't think you can sleep soundly
if she wanted to destroy you,
she know where to found you.
don't fuck with Mother Nature,
she will fuck you up,
and demonstrate ya,
she regulate ya.
don't fuck with Mother Nature,
she'll put two in your chest
and one in your head.
She'll put you to rest
and put you to bed.
Mother fuckers run and hide,
Mother fuckers wonder why,
they live paranoid lives,
Mother Nature will fucking kill you
Surprise.
Don't fuck with Mother Nature,
she's a gangster bitch,
and she will regulate ya.
Mother FUCKERS.

Autumn Leaves
Single leaf,
Ragged boat
Set adrift
In cold purple current of lazy autumn sky;
Swirling orange flame, bright and bold
Free among soft lonely wisps
Of silent twilight cloud...
Never will I rest
Till I find my death
Deep beneath the forest dirt.
