Come Twilight
Geno Cattouse Oct 2014
Hurry home to rest Oh failing Sun you are rewarded a days duty done as you send shadows long and defeated to ground.
Come.

Lit by polluted incandescent pain. willingness the city roars and cavorts in limited sensuality...hidden desires unraveling by night.
Come hither.
Wafting breezes eases transition of myriad shades of black...pushing back at the world weary day.
Whispering hope...familial collusion at hour's conclusion.
Come rebirth, come nightfall come quiet
Come twilight
Come moolight.
Come daylight
Rejoin the fight
In Burning sunlight
Then forevermore
Come forward.
Come twilight.

Craving  bright collision. We called it swapping paint.
You gonna or you aint.

Testosterone decision. Bow up and drop low.
Low man wins agin. Batter and submit.
The eyes have it or they dont.

Make you blink.Make you think.
Bring the pain. Your loss is my gain.
To the whistle and beyond.

Once he was there upon the crest looking down upon the

and rested on on his tongue then lifted to join the air.

He spoke once more still the utterance seemed strange.
Not of his making.

Once he was there upon the mountain. The stars shone in his eye.
The cool desert air whispeing past the age of ages that "all is but a
Twinkling and soon past. So.

Standing in the moment.

                                     By fire.
                                     Risen past flesh.
                                     Knowing full well
                                                 That no answer would suffice
               

                                        ­                    Knowing bones

Would turn to dust
And still day would follow night
And night day.
Knowing with a certainty

Weak minds lead strong decisions you see it on the subscreen crawl a world of deluded with no reality at all.
You see the lie becomes material and firm when masses squirm and hand wring over hard moral choices. See it all unfold and dont believe. I dont need aces up my sleeve. The hard drive just took a leave.
See how it is today.

See and believe
Senses dont speak in tenses. Believe what you knoe. Hear what the truth is not isms and scisms.
Think in factual calculus.

I SAW THE SPARROW FALL
Geno Cattouse Sep 2014
To tufted ground he fell but he was smiling on the way down
he must have seen it coming and cashed in his chips,Maxed out his cards, used up his frequent flyers.
The landing was in slow motion and he seemed to like it.

I saw the Last Mohican  pull down his Wiki yup. He had a knowing smirk. All in a days work pay me later or pay me now.A casino or two for genocide in lieu. But what can a guy do when his number plays ?

I saw Robin Williams Throw up his hands. God I loved that man but it was no surprise. Too many voices in that chock filled head.He and Johnny winters cut from the same cloth.

I saw The Man In the Moon wink last night.The orb burned bright and the loons craned their necks to catch a glimpse. The tide battered the shore meanwhile and the Raven croaked "Nevermore" in the silvery light of the shadow painted night. "Nevermore"

I heard  the gusting wind last night as it wiped the face of Kilimanjaro and dusted the Sahara in shimmering specs of glassy sand. A solitary Date palm surrendered tasty fruit to the grateful earth.
Joe Camel had a flying fig as he puffed an unfiltered and blew smoke rings thing of beauty and skill.

I heard the Howling wolf far up in the pines last night to no one in particular,just doing what nature dictated. He looked around slowly for approval, got none then sang his song again after clearing his throat.  

I smelled the tangy scent of burning Rome on the hill as politicians fiddled for the lobbyists and corporate constrictors.  The Senators donned fresh togas and drank heady wine from golden goblets.
"Let them eat cake"
Same arrogance, different century.

I ran down to the river to wash the blood from my wounds and seek shelter. A pack of sprinting  zombies in hot  pursuit. Good thing they can't swim. A pound of flesh each was more than I could pay and live.
I. incessant
R. ravenous
S.Sharks      

I pulled my coat tight around me and leaned into a stiff ill wind as
Down the road I go.
By the way what does an ill wind blow ?

The Regulars.

Rain or shine. Well almost.. but
The regulars make the stroll..I can almost set my clock,that is if need it.
Two ladies. I call them Mutt and Jeff, Mutt in the right side,Jeff on the left.

One short the other taller.
A morning ritual. On occasion, Jeff does a solo
Mostly with her wing man though. I watch them come and go.

I asked them their names once but my memory is like smoke in the early morning
breeze some days

The regulars. set your clock or calender.
I sense a long and abiding bond .Many shared tears and joys.

Nisei or Sansei.?
I cant say for sure.

The regulars
Like Sunshine rising east.

I am the watcher.
The reader of the constant.
The regulars .They see me silent mostly.
Ghostly.

I am a regular in knee pants.
They teach me to be still and regular.
To myself be true.

One day I can be a regular too.
This is  about a duo of Japanese American women who have
walked the walk on my block. We dont speak. but they teach me about
dedication,fitness and friendship.

Avian Ectasy
Geno Cattouse Oct 2013
Have you ever dreamed about flying ?

soaring and swooping ?
with the wind bracing ?
With huge glistening wings that drive you skyward as you pulled away from the ground.

Last night was virtual. a spiritual out of body thing. to be on the wing.
propelled by giant feathers and power. could have stayed for hours. consider the
sparrow, the dove or the eagle. WE aspire.

Lofty as the ground slid by as the mountains rushed towards me as the oceans glistened from afar. The horizon vanished and all things were revealed. Truly consider the lowly crow. who looks down on our crowned limitations

Imagine pushing for the sun on wings anchored to your shoulder. Icarus was even bolder considering
his wings were waxen. True folly but then the rush may have tempered the fall.

I have flown many times before in dream-state.
Have you ?.And hovered and swooped to gently lite to ground toes touching then wings folding high above my shoulders. Pristine. ready. to
fly again.

Cause (picked from word)
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Cause and effect made him shambling wreck

Cause too many late lights and too many in fights was the cause.

Just be. Cause it is doable don't mean you should do it

And a just cause is not always your cause.

Consequencies will cause you to blink
Double think when the right cause
Comes.along. cause
You paused. Double think.

Will take you to the brink

When instinct gets paused cause too many
Effects have caused you to balk.

Cause sometimes discretion is the better part.cause
Livve to fight another day caused neville chamberlaan
To dither while Poland burned. Why ?

Causes and pauses are like
Opaque obstructions.


But. That's what makes the wold go round
The world go round the world go round.

Causes make the world go round
It makes the world go round.

She stood head bowed over the empty kitchen sink.
The man stood to side in the doorway watching her.

What could she be thinking in the vacant pause. No dishes or pots there.
No greasy spoons or chipped coffe cups.
A billowing cloud of steaming dreams defferd rose wistfully from the dingy faucets fall that issued forth nothing at all.

Her hands did scald as her heart twirled and spiraled away to the sewers. Gone. Gone her youth.
Wasted. Wasted her precious youthfull ember. It trickled down her nose. Like a lousiana dirge to white rain washed slabs.no cake walk for her eyes.

The man wondered still. and yet stil today.
What could she ever say.

To allow peace to have a say. Wolves are at bay not by happenstance

What is required inquired the man to go from here to the forward place
Where all is friutful and kind. What is the fare I that must pay.
I have done the work, shouldered the burden and carried on through foul and fair, so my friend tell me the secret please share if you will.

You are a big man even large of stature and tall in stance. Look forward .
Be humble. Recede within. less is greater.
Said the keeper.

Parables have been my  lifelong bane  so  I inquire further what is the fare. To whom must I
pass my fee. I am a man of import and great desires.  My time is of value and well worth the wait but
still I inquire who holds the gate.

The gate will open but you must bend,
you will be required to bow your head
and and proceed with humility.
The gate is wide but the
passage low.

Bow your head and the truth
will show.

He spied himself on the shimmering skin of water.
There stood a man. a human being no less
WakanTanka had shaped him in his palm and set him on the land.

The savage in his nakedness ,
strong and lean knew his time was now at hand.

The savage knelt and kissed the earth
Gathered sand and. Dirt. Gazing into velvet eternal
The great Oso. The bear beckoned him to come forward.

The savage cast the earh to the wafting breezes his destiny now assured.
All that was would again be. Lamented song as he moved along the pathway. Chanted his greeting to the great buffalo Tanka.

Neanderthal grunts,scratches and stands
Shades his eyes in salutary pose.
New daylight on the horizon.The fisherman sits on sand mending nets to cast into rippling sun kissed tide.
The man in valley gathers This flock in shade of green shade sunkist hills where rolling blankets sweet grass abounds.

Ancient Orient glimmers like  polished stone.Stands watch across vast open plains momentum grows while the blazing orb labours to climb to do it's work.

Battle lines drawn as thousands stand fixed in gleaming light. Swords of bronze and chariots poised to beckon perdition. The rising sun as witness.

High above the stricken crowd stands the priest in wondrous plumage a crimson river runs down the stone. He sands alone a dagger in his right hand the still beating heart in left.
The Sun god requires.

The ground spins silently below us. The sky rolls by in concert.
The golden god he whispers to all, arises swiftly and then he falls to sleep.

Dictates our every breath..morsel that man eats.

Every crevice as toe hold and ragged purchase for thumb and finger.
                                       A voice did whisper "do not look down nor linger"
                                       The pinnacle it resisted me and so did I malinger frequently. But by and by with force of will I clambered up to heaven' sill then stood and scanned horizon.

The setting sun did welcome me as it sank low to slumber.
It touched me gently cross my brow then pointed out to distant range that ran quite high and resolute.

" Greater challenges await my friend before you enter Heaven's gate" said the mountain. And less you forget, your  reward will be the journey not the destination set.

Your Way
Geno Cattouse May 2013
Not the way you touch my hand so lightly as you speak.
Not the way your eyes ooze into my will.
Oh no, Not that.

Not the way you breath so softly as you sleep.
I cozy up to your face on the pillow savor every breath.
Silently I yearn to share every essence of you.

Not your mouth.your lips that quiver with anticipation
as I draw you close to me. a preamble of what is to be
unspeakable pleasure your eyes twin abysses.

Oh no. Please speak a word. any word.
Now my darling for every whisper is a symphony.
a treasure like no other.Each more priceless than the other.

Your hands were made to hold my heart forever and no other.
Slender fingers serpentine. to slither and caress. Oh sweetheart
My love My dearest your hips they sway a pulsing rhythm that I can
hear, a bossa nova.Cool and warm is your charm.

Have I not loved before?
No.
Clearly,This way is like no other.

I lay awake on endless nights and shudder.
Wipe the silent tears away.Mourn the day
when I have lost your way to another.

I do so love you.

I cannot abide the horrors in the hours when the coming day
Shouts and pulls at yesterday and derides him for a job poorly done
Leaving unfinished business on the table.

                                                         ­     Scraps and bones
                                                           ­   Tatterd sinew.
                                                          ­    Skin.
                                                       ­       Poor execution has left tomorrow
                                                        ­      With rotting clutter. Hear him
                                                              Mu­tter.
Not at rest fully now surfacing psyche able to stir
after corps-like slumber  judgement at the ready.
Shake the foreboding feeling
walking
through a graveyard something inches from my back
Grinning at my ignorance.
Pondering surprise.
Wake up and push the stone uphill
wake up and take your pill.

mendacious
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Piercing lies behind soulfull eyes.
The likes I have never seen.
What contortions made you. Twist reality
At the root.

An absence of self.
I assume.
No core of substance to
Fix or cure.

Mendacity
Menterosa....... no hay una alma.

There be a sweet spot Aarrgh . A sweet spot rite betweem my eyes and my id where my mojo crawled off and hid.
And thats when I cant make It
do what it did before.
My writes feel like I'm I
batting lefty with a hefty bag dropped over my head.
              Cant write anything past my a,b,sees. Like scratching with 10 oz gloves laced on. Fuzzy.
                          Like music underwater.
All dry.All out.
All of reasons and whys...the words..mock me while sipping brandy. Cigar smoke wafting.
Easy chair. After all no sense to it. Just verbal diarrhea. Cunning illusions...sweet nothings.
