sacred bodies !    ( sacred images of Man )

//     //                                    

we have learned from all our most lovely poets

That when the girl says

I LOVE YOU

She is ALWAYS      So god - ****** sincere

the boy should fall to the ground in the humblest  display of gratitude

( after first pulling his pants down - of course )



And that when the boy says

I LOVE YOU

he is NEVER        sincere

But is merely thinking

I GONNA GET IN HER PANTS !

://:

Then at the end she gets to show she really hates him

( which she really did from the start )

Because of some reason never articulated

••

So

Boys

What have you learned !        ?

/::/

sacred bodies!         (sacred images of Man )
I'm an accomplished writer of ****
So many of my poems feature piles of it
To-day I slapped up an offering
This one was scribed with lots of passion
No doubt you'll dislike this awful ration
When the mood strikes the lines flow free
My quill puts on a liberal **** spree
This star quality crap is worth proffering
I always surprise myself with my dross
It hasn't the appearance of top gloss
As the afternoon hours slowly draw near
Another poem of **** ilk hath dawned
So I shall let it be nicely spawned
Golly gee this is a grouse piece of **** gear
#humor  # self deprecation  # smile

                                             now
••                                    

And the cops were packin me up and she come runnin up
screaming No
it was she who done it
And she didn't know me

and I kinda mumbled

Are you sure you want to ........

But then she was in the car and they were gone

And I was sorta just standin there

/////                      
  
She got out that night and said she knew she could deal with the thing better'n me

••

And I never thought of love the same way again

                                       •

she was kinda  a ******* and one night she sort collapsed about  3 miles from our place

And then a van of female sort of liberation types stopped
But then they said

We'll take the girl but not the guy !

She hobbled up to the van

And I thought

Yeah it's the smart thing but I knew if she got in
It would ..... Well I didn't know ..... But

But then she grabbed the end if her crutch and swung and near knocked the door off its hinges

And looked them all down and said

We'll take the girl and not the guy is NOT the revolution !

And then........ (?)

Well she turned and slowly walked back towards me who started screaming

Come on YE ******* ! Come on !

But the main babe just stood there thinkin for moment and said

No -- I guess it's not and they were gone

And there was nothin left to do but hoist her up on my back and carry her home

( but it was now HOME )

••                                    

And the years drifted by

And these stories were overwhelmed by other stories

And then NOMA was born

And then the years kept drifting by

And here we are
Gentle

(                  

                          )

Gentle                           ­                                               


Ah the broken child
Creeping     Weeping

Seeing into the *******
Bedroom morning

The cold hard breakfast stares

The schoolyards fascist playings

The razor sharp with its
Semi - celestial paintings

Oh deaf ears      Blinded eyes!

Still

Do not mourn this ruptured toy

Neither sister brother
Father    Mother

AFTER THE FIRST DEATH THERE IS NO OTHER

/////

We of the painted smiley face !

We of the ******* I LOVE YOU LIE


The child seeks our poisoned dreams
Most damning ties

The eternal painless ( hence joyless ) life

Do not mourn the false sense of              Forever

AFTER THE FIRST DEATH THERE IS NO OTHER

////

Weep for more substantial things

The death of hope
The rapine wars of lust and greed

Pass by this child on ****** sheets

This  corpse - like semblance of our divinity

Perhaps you'll see a road that you must follow farther

AFTER THE FIRST DEATH THERE IS NO OTHER

I can hang my research paper
about mini gardening on my
refrigerator and hope that you
read it as you're
grabbing yourself a beer
and notice how thoughtful I am

and I can leave my type writer
next to my paint brushes, where
the tv used to sit in my living room
and hope that you will sit
on my couch and wonder
if I write about you
or if I paint pictures
of how flowers look
right after it rains

and I could hang posters of
Joe Strummer
& Charles Darwin
all over my bedroom walls
so that when
you climb into my bed you
think I'm interesting and smart

and I can compose 500 word texts
about how green your eyes are
then never send them

but that's more work than
I have the energy for this year
so I just won't bother loving you

Only place is the day

The only day has come

Has a story all it's own

We just here to come along



The songs are singing down from the sky

Talking of visions left in the mountains

By the very first tribe

The ones who still stand by the golden fountain

////

Show me yourself by dancing neath the moon

And standing with the brothers on the road in the morning

Let it all be understood

The unity of peace and warring



Only place is the day

The only day has come

Has a story all it's own

We just here to come along

Dylan Thomas
O
          Out of a bed of love
When that immortal hospital made one more moove to soothe
          The curless counted body,
               And ruin and his causes
Over the barbed and shooting sea assumed an army
          And swept into our wounds and houses,
I climb to greet the war in which I have no heart but only
          That one dark I owe my light,
Call for confessor and wiser mirror but there is none
          To glow after the god stoning night
And I am struck as lonely as a holy marker by the sun.

                              No
          Praise that the spring time is all
Gabriel and radiant shrubbery as the morning grows joyful
               Out of the woebegone pyre
And the multitude's sultry tear turns cool on the weeping wall,
          My arising prodgidal
Sun the father his quiver full of the infants of pure fire,
          But blessed be hail and upheaval
That uncalm still it is sure alone to stand and sing
          Alone in the husk of man's home
And the mother and toppling house of the holy spring,
          If only for a last time.
