The Ocean We all Drown In
The lines of perception often conflict with the lines society draws around what is and what should never be ...
The conflict between what is tolerated and what is scorned
What is let free and what is suppressed
It is often between around under over and through these lines where art lives ...
Many will hijack these ideas to their own purposes muddying waters not meant to be muddied for personal gain ...
Leaving the artist with the bad name ....

My Dearest Valentine
When all the poems
of this story have been written
and our dreams dreamt
without expectation
nothing shall prevent
the remembering of Us
in rich gratitude
having loved and been loved.
When our Spirits divert
between that fork of death
and this physical legacy
is no more than poetics
we will think fondly
with our final breath— ...

You know you're write
refusing to hear
the poet
they threaten him
with crucifixion
and even worse
a subtle
lack of interest
they tore out
his twisted tongue
and took away
his angry pen
leaving him
with only silence
they laughed
loudly at the poet
as he stood
naked and wordless
they held
their hammer high
as he raised
his middle finger
and smiled defiantly
as the first nail
pierced his skin

First Waking Thought
words are happiest
when love's many languages
move the poet's quill
when love's many languages
move the poet's quill

I can't get no sleep
Words become air
Thoughts invade
Echolalic verse
Lyrical tirade
Hearing beats
Repeating flows
No time to eat
Time comes and goes
Sleep's for the dead
The writer's curse
Rhyme fills my head
Echolalic verse
Thoughts invade
Echolalic verse
Lyrical tirade
Hearing beats
Repeating flows
No time to eat
Time comes and goes
Sleep's for the dead
The writer's curse
Rhyme fills my head
Echolalic verse

Insomnia: Dying to Write
.
.
.
.
The muse will never let me sleep,
Not even get a bite to eat.
Because the bug runs through my veins,
To write in verse both night and day
Until the Lord my soul to keep.

You write like Sunday
and I have nothing to do
but stay in your head
and I have nothing to do

Uneasy Kesey
Uneasy Kesey
by William Dean
Kesey's kicked it at last;
He's shuffled off the scuffed Levi's
And dowager boots
And joined the coots
Up there where the past
Is all coffee houses, divas and lies.
Oh, he told his truths
Whatever they were.
Did you know any?
The generations were many.
I'd think they were a burr
Under the saddle rump of sooth,
But prophesies are so much
Cotton in the field
And only the lonely spin
While many more imbibe their gin
Beyond the poet's touch.
What do they yield? ...

Dear Mr. Miller
Dear Mr. Miller,
Would you like to correspond? I heard you were in need of some company and since I am also lonely and in need of human companionship I wondered if you would like to write?
Sincerely,
Gladys Peabody.
Dear Gladys,
How wonderful of you to reach out and offer connection to another. Yes, since my wife died ten years ago I have pruned all the roses I can manage in an attempt to keep that loneliness away. Please write again soon before the hedges are bald!
Sincerely,
Henry

gold teeth.
Twenty nineteen
is in between my teeth
& if you don’t align with
this poetry then you can’t
fuck with me;
I wear the critique like
bullet wounds all over
my physique but my
words lay minimal
& sleek;
these dreams don’t
die for anything or
anybody & the letters
are cooking in a pot
of honesty;
this boy don’t care
if you’re not into his
tea he’s already
serving the boiling
speech.
