Letters from the gulag homeichapelago iii
Bobby Friday
I will always have a fond place in my heart for Bobby
Back in the carefree days, when we would wander the city streets till the dawns hours.
Going on mission dumps, opening the ashtrays with his key, or as he put it, "City pays me to collect dumps, this my job". Still amuses me peoples reactions to this, his usual response to those laughing and shouting, "I love dumps, dumps for life" .
My response was usually, "are you going to buy us tobacco?" Fuck off then“.
Diving in dumpsters, another favourite of Bobby's, it was like a treasure...

R.I.P Anthony Rose (10.13.1989 - 07.21.2019)
It been a minute since I last wrote any poetry…
But something happened that was way too close to me..
I wrote poetry for fallen friends, and I hoped I wouldn’t have to do it again for some time..
Well here we are, but I got a lot of things on my mind…
Another brother has made his way to heaven way too soon..
I was at work reading Facebook it was about a quarter to noon..
And there it was staring me in the face R.I.P Anthony Rose..
I did not want to believe it, so I reached out to someone who knows..
She...

Silent War- Chapter 2 "Proposition"
As she promised, the following weekend Liz took her fashionably clueless roommate to Rue St. Hubert, one of Montreal’s major commercial arteries filled with over four hundred quality boutiques and tailors.
In the second boutique that they’ve visited, Liz took a good look at the other clients trying on long dresses of various colors.
Instantly, she knew the style that would suit Rachel best and make her stand out.
Liz spoke with a consultant, who showed the two women an entire rack of slightly shorter dresses near the fitting rooms.
The dresses were...

Just because an impetus arose...
Thank dog, and cat,
no pet tee filed - late fee
incurred from this
sole heir, matted son
Avenue of Harris communique
to his youngest sister
busy as a queen bee,
her name mentioned
backwards solely for
wry ming sense – re:
garding Dunning-Harris Shari:
Not there need not
be any clear cut,
nor cloudy total
reason to bolster wee
kind fortitude to write
an email (albeit
with my characteristic
trademark rhyme) to in vite
my own impetus to dash ...

A Brother Lost...
One night, one call, all lost.
Instant shock, heart stopped, breath gone.
Our family tree so painfully torn.
No, couldn’t be true… I knew.
Quick, hurry, rush. Have to leave, must go.
Arrive, open the door, pastor is here.
He wants to sit and talk.
Don't want to sit, are you crazy?
Leave me be, let me see.
(Thinking to myself) It's okay, I can fix him.
Not to worry, he will be alright.
Watch I can wake him up, just give me the chance.
Looking down at the body bag, I knew...
They say “Are you sure you want to see him.”
What!!...

the colour of your eyes is natural brown.
The colour of your eyes is natural brown, and that means you are happy. It means you are gentle and you are calm, you're wrapped in the earth's embrace in cooling darkness, and the soft caress of te world. It means you are filled with love and the innocence of new acorns, but that does not mean you do not have the strength of oak trees. The colour of your eyes is brown, but you will never waver and fall like the leaves in autumn.
The light in your eyes is blazing red, and that means there's been blood. It means you have set the world aflame, so bright and blinding that it burns...

Hiding Behind My Sister's Skirt
Hiding Behind My Sister's Skirt
Though Natchez, Mississippi is my home, my ancestors migrated from the olive groves of Andalusia and the vineyards of Bordeaux to colonial New Orleans where they mated. So my disposition is lively like a fandango but at times slow moving like a Parisian Waltz.
I woo my sister. “Anna, you are a vision of divinity. You represent the embodiment of feminine beauty, a personification of the Goddess. You are forever and always my femme de la crème.” ...

Winterland
Spiriling down
Deeper and deeper
Darker and darker
Further and further
Body locked in rock
Head tilted back
Eyes of spook half moons of glacial blue
A truly disturbing sight of fright
Her thoughts drifting to a frigid winterland a million miles far far from home
Ruinous tornadic winds noxious with maggots sickly sweet ripeness of rot
Howling across icy canyons
Thunderous sparks of white-hot lightening
Snapping the sky
Rattling the ground ...
Deeper and deeper
Darker and darker
Further and further
Body locked in rock
Head tilted back
Eyes of spook half moons of glacial blue

Howling across icy canyons
