May Morning
First chirp in the leaf trees,
May-break at half-moon setting.
Like an odour of drizzle extracted by the skin-nerve,
Threatening of future collapse with each spank of wind,
Exhumed from the new beginning rots.
But there is no down-pour this morning.
Just the fusion-ardour of the direct sun,
Microwaving the colours into movement-sounds.
Then the queen of the night appears,
Wading up the steep hill with ploughed hips,
Glistening in sweat through the rips to the hair drips,
Covered, crawling with strange enzyme.
She is of the earlier, ancient pursuits...
Her moist mechanism brought to ignored recompense,
By the iron church-bell at the hill-top, donging.
But I still watch with longing...

Many apologies to my faithful circle (or more correctly, octagon) of followers, for not posting sooner. I was up to no good, getting lost in telecasters and reverbs, and the times flew by.
I was slated to start posting audio recordings and song lyrics, but the other website for that is backlogged. So alas, I have been scrambled into discoordination, and will instead over the next bit, post a few samples from another notebook of sorts. This particular notebook is mostly composed of incomprehensible thoughts and observations of the busy morning world outside my window, usually between the hours of 5-10am (but strung out into poetic form, to be considered valid poetry...). I've had the book for years, so I'll be taking samples from it often.
Figured since it is the western religious holiday of Easter, I'd put in a piece that had mention of a church. I might actually follow the policy not to post anything during official religious holidays, then I won't be accused of being insensitive and blasphemous, etc.
And just going over it, I realize this is the first poem I've posted to the site which has the word "moon" in it. It's gonna' be all downhill from here... In about 200 days or so, I imagine there'll be a moon-poem being posted every two or three days...
"Oh no, not another moon-poem by Jim Nut Roarin..!"

I should also get my months right... It's April, not May! I should open the curtains, and actually go outside...
