Ancestral Collage
Empathy, beauty, understanding,
mercy for it all.
Mercy to the hands and faces
in every bit of it all.
Mercy for the trees
and rocks, and creatures.
mercy to it all.
Where are the footprints of bohemia?
Beneath the raining fields of earth
and history?
Henry Clapp in cups of Pfaff's black coffee,
those porcelain white pipes
he adopted in the France
of Baudelaire,
Whitman ringing the bell of Blake,
...
mercy for it all.
Mercy to the hands and faces

The Heads that Bear Survival
You walk around with an aspen nippling out your head,
and it can't be healthy.
That flies of our condition flock your radiance
sweet dear must be topped off the glass.
You quiver down your sultry bits
at the squirrels frisking your nape with small discharge of carbon,
but your brain is heavy in moss,
and the offshoots of a meta-ethic won't hold in a flash flood.
You crash.
A forge of lightning punctured the mountain-line cloak —

Soul Searching
She walks on down the hall
And through the doors
Of her own perception
A crowd of beetles
Stand and stare
At Sgt. Tussaud's wax reception
As pale lyrics play
Soft unusual intentions
A wisp of thought is caught
Am I creator or invention
She believes it could be
Either, both or something else
And then decides it's difficult
When looking through
The clouds of inner self
She sees the veil of time...
And through the doors
Of her own perception
A crowd of beetles
Stand and stare
At Sgt. Tussaud's wax reception
As pale lyrics play
Soft unusual intentions

Am I creator or invention
She believes it could be
Either, both or something else
And then decides it's difficult
When looking through
The clouds of inner self

Letter To A Poetess ( Who Takes My Breath Away )
September 24, 2018
Wisconsin Dells
Wisconsin
Dear Adsila,
It seems like forever since we hit the karaoke scene, let our collective hair down, drank ourselves postively green until sliding under the booth and you almost accidentally slipped right out of your sundress ...
Sorry, I confess to being lost in memory's reverie. Or perhaps it was a deliberately created daydream ...?
Regardless -- Girl, we should SO do that again ... and soon!
I...

buzz buzz (a guide to making lemonade)
what to do:
look God straight in the eyes
as you hop atop a pair of golden arcs,
splurging on low-cost pleasures.
catch yourself a ride to an antique shop,
on some glowing, orange beast,
and buy every knick-knack
or trinket that it shoves its face in.
explore the Milky Way under self-inflicted
deprivation of the senses.
trip over every construct, and laugh
on the way down. bully all the Martians,

A Man With No Legs Similies (Yeah you read it right!)
As righteous as a man with no legs taking a stand
As impossible as a man with no legs trying to play footsie
As dumbfounded as a man with no legs who is stumped
As successful as a man with no legs taking his first step
As amazing as seeing a man with no legs climbing a ladder
As equally amazing as a man with no legs tap dancing for money
As sensible as a man with no legs who has stopped buying shoes
As lonely as a man with no legs sitting at home playing with himself
As brave as a man with no legs who is gonna kick your ass
As heroic as a man with...

No "FAKE" Fire Drill
Residents at high
land manor apartments
(aside from myself)
got rudely awakened -
by what sounded
like a screaming,
seething, and shrieking airplane
early morning hour
'ere september eleventh
two thousand eighteen
with deafening decibel (at
maximum threshold)
ear piercing shrill alarm
rousing atavistic primal
Neanderthal tapping primal brain
if NOT a atheist secular humanist,
I would aver my linkedin match

Autumn In The Air - Hooray
Respite from punishing
heat wave - yay

he would never

I want to be free again
This is the reason I want to be free again,
I want to run wild in grass again I want to scale the mountains again,
I want cry & laugh as a kid again I want to see the world again, I want to chase the wind again, I want to hear the seas move again I want to see the thunders roar again, I want to see gods again,
I want to see the morning again I want to see Sun again, I don't want to see my home filled with foods again but want to see my garden filled with flowers again,
I want to see the rainbow again I want to feel the rain again
This is the reason I want to be...

Leftovers Of A Young Poet I
August 30, 2018
Florence
Italy
Dear Agent Starling,
How splendid it is to be corresponding with you again after such a long dry spell. How many months have passed since that fateful April when we delighted in so much fun with words together?
If only you were here with me to complement the beautiful scenery, giving new meaning to the phrase "studying abroad".
Forgive me; the dry wine country here has taken its toll on my humor.
I wouldn't bother wasting your time combing this letter and the...
