From Today
I
I heard it calling deftly,
this inner resevoir
of all I had overlooked
and simply ignored
though it swallowed me;
corroding my innermost reaches.
Its voice was wavering
giving me no assurance
that it would contain me fully
and teach me anything
I wouldn't learn by
easing into something
new.
I took an unnerving swan dive
and swam into a vastness,
my perceptions clouded
until I only felt a tingle
of the deftest poisons buoyancy
amidst glittering foam.

In Windowpanes
That each dull day and each despairing act
Builds up the crags from which the spirit leaps.'
- Phillip Larkin
I
Framed in grey the drab light
spills from white expanse;
reaches over the goings of many,
their eyes swimming in conformity,
heels pounding the firmament
to somewhere gone meandering,
catching a sideways smirk.
Feeling the midday confusion,
striding along with purpose,
the many among the few notice
where everyones direction points --

A Watershed
I
Pearls of water
rising in beads on
our worlds brow;
so necessary
and we fall the same
way.
I am liquid
holding momentum;
you can't see that
I know everything,
how things move
is patterened
by me.
Merging faster
to engage a communal
you will all experience
each to an other;
a motioning in transparency
becoming as one.
II
I will contain all esters
your cells can resonate with
as they will absorb
my knowledge
in cruelty or kindness

Hero, Monster or God
"Mythology can be defined as the sacred history of humankind. "
- Gerald Hausman
Peggysoarus
As silvered wings
shrug off the gale,
night descends long
her spectre pale.
High above it all,
soaring in the mists;
a soul gallops untethered
in a heavenly tryst.
To feel her heart beat
is to flutter great wings
and drift into sleep
as moondust she brings.
A creature of myth ...

Herd In Demise
I
In final realms we carry on
and in so going hear a song,
undefeated in a slow refrain,
unretreating with none to blame.
Darting eyes still seek relief
behind a guise where few retreat;
onward stagger heavy feet
if I am to lie this won't repeat.
Health betrays revealing bones,
a framework once so stealthily grown:
I am not what I appear,
under this mask I still know fear.
II
Pressing on we know not pause,
to hell have gone our former laws
the throes of which are faltering

18th Day
Just arrived from the mosque
After Tarawee prayer
I feel so tired and sleepy
I perspired a lot while praying
It felt like exercising for an hour
Of brisk walking and burned calories
From the food I took during iftar
Another round of food was served after tarawee prayer
I had a cup of arroz caldo, a piece of sandwich and a pack of juice
Now I'm full again
I just want to lie down and go to sleep
But I need to post my entry for the day
Or I might get another X
Today is the 18th day of Ramadhan
Only eleven days...

National Poetry Writing Month
I wish I could say
I built a solid habit,
consistency each day
devoted to writing and quiet,
and that I’ll maintain
the pattern from now on.
But sadly, creativity
is still regarded as
lack of productivity--
putting off Important Things,
a guilty stealth-activity
done when others aren’t looking.
So I wrote 30 poems
but life is the same;
despite my commitment
it’s still hard to proclaim
that this is a priority,
and I won’t feel shame
about duties undone
or sleep lost,

Where Flora, Fauna And Beneficent Humans Gather Part 3
Look! Here come the marching bands
requisite element of a proper parade
rhythmic, harmonious nomads of music
representing the college championship combatants, others summoned
by special invitation
high schools from across nation,
and far flung countries
all high-stepping to the drum beat
in perfect synchronization
presenting unique orchestrations
of lively tunes composed
perhaps by Sousa,
Queen, or Kool & The Gang
Mire los jinetes a caballo
prancing horses thrill the crowd
Andalusians and other breeds

Not Ambrosia

Not Ambrosia
Too impatient to wait
for oxygen to help
it float to the surface
I muscled my way
to the bottom hoping
to scrape up some
pond scum
for an early morning
meal so that I might
gain inspiration
regurgitating
with thoughtless
reason
debouching
one more
mud puddle
I preferred the food
of the Gods
but settled for the drink
to help me think
of something from
the deep
to link up & above

Where Flora, Fauna And Beneficent Humans Gather - Part 2
Armada of kaleidoscopic land vessels
ephemeral flourishing flotilla
constructed, garnished with all natural material from all around the world
grain, grasses, seeds, and flowers
romantic, fantastical, peaceful, exciting mobile dioramas
with invisible conveyance
perhaps a pirate ship with jolly buccaneer crew
with rice paper sails, hemp rigging,
a cannon made black with poppy seeds, riding pampas grass waves
maybe a princess in her palace
with royal gardens of roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums
with a wooing prince astride a...

Kindred
That time you sent me that song
out of the blue
a million years after you left
It said things
that float between us
Things that
I know I’ll never hear you say
and I guess that’s okay
But I wondered…
And I don’t understand
what it is in me
that wakes up at your words
--just behind my solar plexus--
Even though there’s so much space
and so much time
separating our realities
And it makes no sense
that my soul should leap
in recognition
at your voice
When I don’t even know

Revivify My Telencephalon
O how I often think about
rewiring my nervous system
so I can better figure out
in what way
I could convey
my way of thinking
then perhaps,
maybe human beings might
comprehend
understand
No repopulating my motherboard
with resistors to block my paths
No inductors or capacitors
saving my energies for a rainy day
Electrical tape for frayed wires
during stressful times
include a circuit breaker or two
to jump start when I get
psychotic and...
