i'm a forty-four year old wanderer who has been making attempts toward poetics since i was sixteen. i have a deep-seeded belief that everyone is a poet, and that all things are poetry. i'm extremely amped at this opportunity to join this site because i've heard numerous positive things about it from multiple poets. my influences include Whitman, Whitman, Whitman, Simic, Langston Hughes, Suffern Slam Society, Elizabeth Bishop, Plath, Milton, Heaney, Yeats, Joyce, my beloved wife, family, friends, and that kind woman who rung me up for three packs of smokes two days ago--to name a bunch. i have joined this site in hopes of honing my fragile attempt toward a craft while helping better poets hone their craft as a vehicle toward learning how to collaborate, more fully, with others...thank you for considering my application to your esteemed site.
when for what have you stare in to eyes that are what for when ewe took my hand along yore swollen perambulations into nights devoid of air ewe have never swallowed a trace of light that ewe cannot reflect upon as dust entombed in heavens disassembled from unleavened brethren there was always a core to yore whimsical strut as if an avenue could hold yore internals eternal those mettling metals we unleash upon with our ****** toes galavanting pearls asunder thunder’s weeping reigns of unsubstantiated all never there was a timid breath ewe did not urn as if spells of broken gesticulations could volley a scant clue of what it was to become nothing that type that trite time follows as we sear magic into our concrete organs as if all concrete weren’t asphalt awaiting coal i succumbed upon your neck and caught sinewy glimpses of your entanglements as if driven into shock ewe never stopped smiling and in me ewe never will

when i cordoned you off with Gorilla Tape and lilac vine once i was done attaching encrypted files of pearls upon that sultry salt of your inner-thighs once i’d borrowed bonds off my favorite banker’s portfolio so i could waste myself in their earned interest ratios of blood bourne by centuries of hapless gathering oppression so i could use them in mosaics of swollen sand that i could lay like sea-glass shards under your ebbing feet as useless parchments i swallowed you in all your swollen spasms of fragile oblivion until that bottom of this tongue lept amidst surfacing juices obliterating and obligating all that ever decayed amidst obelisks your whispers (hatched from your breathy endorphins) shook me into mine own desperate shudders astride our gathering humidity and i gathered in your needle-nosed plier eyes -rust encrusted grey incisors- wrought from melted andirons mixed with slug trodden soils of hinterlands i was never to penetrate as if i ever slammed you with yore spinning flails into night’s emerging chasm of charcoal sprinkled with inner-orange peels and their attempts toward all that is illuminating, wistful, brief, and precious— i am your son, i am birthed from your sal i vations. i am twisting, still, amidst these rudiments of brine...
