"atlantic" poems
So, this is what it feels like, to be buried under heaps of leaves, trapped like gold in a treasure chest living in the hold of the Galleons of the Spanish Armada, lost at sea, in the frozen crevices of the Atlantic. Yet... I'm still free like air-- **sweet, beautiful, fresh air**-- who filter through the cracks and holes. Nothing's changed, I am still Me.

You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo. Daddy, I have had to **** you. You died before I had time ---- Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco seal And a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off the beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du. In the German tongue, in the Polish town Scraped flat by the roller Of wars, wars, wars. But the name of the town is common. My ****** friend Says there are a dozen or two. So I never could tell where you Put your foot, your root, I never could talk to you. The tongue stuck in my jaw. It stuck in a barb wire snare. Ich, ich, ich, ich, I could hardly speak. I thought every German was you. And the language obscene An engine, an engine, Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen. I began to talk like a Jew. I think I may well be a Jew. The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gypsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew. I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You ---- Not God but a ******** So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you. You stand at the blackboard, daddy, In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot But no less a devil for that, no not Any less the black man who Bit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do. But they pulled me out of the sack, And they stuck me together with glue. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, A man in black with a Meinkampf look And a love of the rack and the ***** And I said I do, I do. So daddy, I'm finally through. The black telephone's off at the root, The voices just can't worm through. If I've killed one man, I've killed two ---- The vampire who said he was you And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now. There's a stake in your fat black heart And the villagersnever liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you ******* I'm through.

Off that landspit of stony mouth-plugs, Eyes rolled by white sticks, Ears cupping the sea's incoherences, You house your unnerving head -- God-ball, Lens of mercies, Your stooges Plying their wild cells in my keel's shadow, Pushing by like hearts, Red stigmata at the very center, Riding the rip tide to the nearest point of departure, Dragging their Jesus hair. Did I escape, I wonder? My mind winds to you Old barnacled umbilicus, Atlantic cable, Keeping itself, it seems, in a state of miraculous repair. In any case, you are always there, Tremulous breath at the end of my line, Curve of water upleaping To my water rod, dazzling and grateful, Touching and ******* I didn't call you. I didn't call you at all. Nevertheless, nevertheless You steamed to me over the sea, Fat and red, a placenta Paralyzing the kicking lovers. Cobra light Squeezing the breath from the blood bells Of the fuchsia. I could draw no breath, Dead and moneyless, Overexposed, like an X-ray. Who do you think you are? A Communion wafer? Blubbery Mary? I shall take no bite of your body, Bottle in which I live, Ghastly Vatican. I am sick to death of hot salt. Green as eunuchs, your wishes Hiss at my sins. Off, off, eely tentacle! There is nothing between us.

*in class they asked us if we were afraid of the dark* no i'm not afraid of the dark that fills my room at two a.m. i'm not afraid of the dark that engulfs underground caves or the darkness submerged deep in the atlantic ocean but i'm afraid of the dark that seeps through every fissure and crevice of my splintered heart; the blackness that cascades through my veins and the gloom that fills my lungs (with no room for oxygen.) *yes, i'm afraid of a certain kind of darkness: the kind that can't be illuminated by a flashlight*

The Southern Sounds (inside us born and bound)
Let love's sunset into my heart With sullen greys tinged in pink With last rays of warmth Before there comes the chill Let the last breath of fulfillness Ease around my heart Take away the sunny memories Softly as the light fades away Fading fast empty embraces And kisses that have no taste As softly whispered I love yous Fall into the Atlantic sea Come nightness surround now My empty heart Console my ache and care So come now , sunset of my heart

Sunset of my Heart
A part of me lives miles and minutes and moments away in an indefinite, dreamy place where clocks are not my enemy and I associate the word “distance" with travel, not longing My heart has sailed across the Atlantic, moved eagerly through the Indian Ocean, navigated using an atlas inked with butterflies and stars that gleam ardently (just as your rosemary eyes do, every once in a blue moon, when you’re able to sew together the disarrayed thoughts that dwell in your messy head) You are so, so far away However, if I avoid calendars and geography, it feels like you’re right here beside me In the afternoon, when the sun shines through my bedroom window and paints the world map on my wall with light, I shut my eyelids and run my thumb along the string that stretches across the parchment, connecting me to you I pretend that when I open my eyes, you will be here and that my aching fingers that are so desperately grasping the paper will be intertwined with yours

Meet me At the place We laid in The long grass and Could see Boston On the distant horizon. Would you travel From lake Michigan, For one last dive in The Atlantic with me again? Meet me At the place You teased me saying You hated the hill and walking. Meet me At the place I teased you showing More skin than I intended. Meet me At the place Where the lights aren't so harsh, And I gave you all my stars, Letting you trace constellations One by one, Until you could map me - Navigate me. Would you come Meet me there Once more, So I could try to Give you all the things I could not before?

Meet Me...?
I have been in the moon In search of love all noon Searched through deserts Even through garden of Eden. I have Searched beneath the sea Travelled wide even to overseas Still could not find love. I went to Vatican Even to Mecca Driven through the romantic sites of Paris Bath in the Brazilian beaches Flown across the Atlantic Pitched my tenth for few days on the Antarctic Spend some more on the arctic Still I saw no love. All I saw was lust Angels with broken hearts, Rotten roses, Withered lilies, Death faiths and monsters on beautiful faces. I saw bullets in church offering boxes Just wedded on number plates of ambulances. I saw wars in diversity Pain and mourning crowding all cities The devil celebrating the dead of peace. I saw three wise men Where went love, I asked them They said love has been nailed on the cross Buried with trust They are heading to Galilee To await his return. I followed with dreams I met many returning with smiles of frustration From where I was going with pregnancy of expectations. We arrived to the scene Like a nightmare, I witnessed higher sins I saw men taking pleasures with men Some with animals, some women with women. Gun everybody walking sticks People feeding on people flesh With human blood the thirsting ones quench their thirst. Is this where love is expected to return? The wise men retorted, Yes, the saints have been raptured And his seven years  reign has just began. Then in a flash, I remembered that I have been taught Taught about this dreadful end I had also taught kids Under trees at nights Just to threaten them to live right. What I thought was a mare threat or a fallacy Has been awaken against my fate in reality. Oh! We are among the leftovers Left to reprove ourselves or be doomed forever.

I want to be a materialist as much as I could. I want to kiss the sun and marry the moon! I want to invite all the stars, sending them a tweet, and I’d like them all to join me on Facebook! I want to carry the Himalayas on my shoulder, and I’d like to swim across the Atlantic water! I want to wax lyrical over the waves and would like to fly with the clouds. I want to be in the green and would like to spread across the spring. I want to paint on the sky keeping my head held high.   I want to wear the perfect fit ring, as perfect as the pi-perfect circle, with no endless nano-decimal hole, just fine-tuned to my finger hole!

Kiss the sun and marry the Moon
When descends on the Atlantic The gigantic Storm-wind of the equinox, Landward in his wrath he scourges The toiling surges, Laden with seaweed from the rocks: From Bermuda’s reefs; from edges Of sunken ledges, In some far-off, bright Azore; From Bahama, and the dashing, Silver-flashing Surges of San Salvador; From the tumbling surf, that buries The Orkneyan skerries, Answering the hoarse Hebrides; And from wrecks of ships, and drifting Spars, uplifting On the desolate, rainy seas;— Ever drifting, drifting, drifting On the shifting Currents of the restless main; Till in sheltered coves, and reaches Of sandy beaches, All have found repose again. So when storms of wild emotion Strike the ocean Of the poet’s soul, erelong From each cave and rocky fastness, In its vastness, Floats some fragment of a song: From the far-off isles enchanted, Heaven has planted With the golden fruit of Truth; From the flashing surf, whose vision Gleams Elysian In the tropic clime of Youth; From the strong Will, and the Endeavor That forever Wrestle with the tides of Fate; From the wreck of Hopes far-scattered, Tempest-shattered, Floating waste and desolate;— Ever drifting, drifting, drifting On the shifting Currents of the restless heart; Till at length in books recorded, They, like hoarded Household words, no more depart.

Seaweed
They set off from white rocks, red geraniums, blue tile, and let the green sea lift and drop their ships far above the white foam waves. The stony islands that were home were swallowed in minutes by the hungry Atlantic but they hunted the big fish, the giant whales  with human eyes who rolled and sang and swam in oceans a continent away. They came from Sao Jorge, Sao Miguel Faial, Pico, Terceira, Horta - Nine island emeralds set in a black volcanic chain, neither of the old country nor the new: Halfway there and halfway gone - secret jewels of the Portuguese sailors. They sailed into unknown waters, south around tropical shores where dragons smoked and writhed on the rocks and birds with brilliant red and yellow plumage rose in clouds around their heads. Then north, and north, north again to colder waters where sea lions barked and lunged at the strange massive wooden beast that coursed the waters, strung with brown bodies swaying on the lines and cursing the sails. North still they swept casting contemptuous eyes on the cheap turquoise waters and monstrous slow turtles of the Sea of Cortez. Coming up from the desert, past the palms and the yucca, the Joshua tree and Spanish daggers, they chased their smooth grey prey, riding the vast Pacific on their wooden island, herding the leviathans onto their spears, adventurers with an audience of only gulls and sky and seal. Until they sailed too close one day to a rock-strewn shoreline and saw the golden hills. Gnarled oaks like grandmothers from home with orange poppy jewels at their feet, missions strung like beads in a ruby marked rosary. The boats slowed, ****** in by a Scylla of soil rich and brown and loamy waiting to be seeded with grapes and apricots peaches, avocados, lettuce, alfalfa, fertile and heavy with sweet promise. And the whales sang and the lions barked and the gulls cried but the sailors were entranced, encharmed, ensorcelled. The treacherous sea, the mysterious deep, the stony jewels of home, called and wept and waited in vain for the sailors   - beached and grounded - cutting not waves but earth, tracking seasons not whales, seduced by dirt.

"Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play." sang Paul McCartney in his song and my first lover to me a long long time ago in the Atlantic mystery by the golf of Mexico. I believe it's better that, "when we love someone, we do so un conditionally- without any expectations no riddles or fill in the blank games or cold computer screen mirror- button- pushing disaster! Like my wealthy elite did to me just to show me how troubled he really was. Even though hurting to test a woman's heart is acceptable if worthy material.compensation exists.

Nantucket
Southern summer nights too hot swimming in a sea of humid drowning in a pool of sweat and sweet tea. Sweet tea like syrup dark hazel filled with ice cubed and perfect from an imperfect freezer tray. Frizzy hair glistening skin from a dull sun tempered by an Atlantic breeze. The moon shines full lighting the scent of the summer night. Honey suckle, hydrangeas, cotton textured dandelions like parachutes against the black night sky is a southern summer night.

southern summer nights
T'was just before Christmas and I went down to the garage To have my old car looked at by a fellow known as  "Sarge" He said I need tires and my wipers weren't so hot My hoses all were leaking and my muffler was shot The repairs just kept on coming and I saw a sparkle in his eyes He was counting all my money, he was the devil in disguise I told him "Thanks, but I would go and get another look" Before I signed for his repair list and I was on the hook So I went on to my friend's place to see what he could do We've been friends for nearly 30 years...since 1982. His mechanic took it out back and while he had it on the hoist I saw a woman at the counter, looking rather moist She said my car is leaking there's  a hole that must be filled I thought that if Rob had a coffee, it'd most certainly be spilled A girl came in and she told Rob her boyfriend had loose nuts And whenever he was driving her, they slid into the ruts Rob stepped back, grinned a bit as he was looking down her front And from where I stood behind her I could almost see her Donation to the Angel tree that was standing in the corner A door opened, a breeze blew in, and there was no time to warn her Her skirt blew up, exposing  her tattoo of some sprigs of holly And Rob came round and covered her just like Sir Walter Raleigh I'm sorry miss, for I did look when your skirt was lifted And I must say, you made my night, for my drive shaft has shifted And then a man came through the door and said "My name is Nick" "I've problems with my reindeer and I need them seen to quick" Rob said "we work on cars here sir , I can fix tires or a hose" "It's nothing major son, I need a bulb for Rudolph's nose" "It doesn't stay on like it should and the other deer get frantic" "And I can't risk it going out when I'm over the Atlantic" "So, if you would replace it now with something nice and bright" "I'd pay you well for all your time and for aiding in my plight" Rob stepped up, fixed Rudolph's nose and said "This one's on me" "And for all work done in my shop you get a guarantee" We all stood round as Santa left, for we new that  it was him For he left us each a candy cane in a metal alloy rim And as we watched him fly away, I'm sure we heard him yell "There's mistletoe tattooed on her too, but...where I'll never tell!"

T'was just before Christmas and I went down to the garage To have my old car looked at by a fellow known as  "Sarge" He said I need tires and my wipers weren't so hot My hoses all were leaking and my muffler was shot The repairs just kept on coming and I saw a sparkle in his eyes He was counting all my money, he was the devil in disguise I told him "Thanks, but I would go and get another look" Before I signed for his repair list and I was on the hook So I went on to my friend's place to see what he could do We've been friends for nearly 30 years...since 1982. His mechanic took it out back and while he had it on the hoist I saw a woman at the counter, looking rather moist She said my car is leaking there's  a hole that must be filled I thought that if Rob had a coffee, it'd most certainly be spilled A girl came in and she told Rob her boyfriend had loose nuts And whenever he was driving her, they slid into the ruts Rob stepped back, grinned a bit as he was looking down her front And from where I stood behind her I could almost see her Donation to the Angel tree that was standing in the corner A door opened, a breeze blew in, and there was no time to warn her Her skirt blew up, exposing  her tattoo of some sprigs of holly And Rob came round and covered her just like Sir Walter Raleigh I'm sorry miss, for I did look when your skirt was lifted And I must say, you made my night, for my drive shaft has shifted And then a man came through the door and said "My name is Nick" "I've problems with my reindeer and I need them seen to quick" Rob said "we work on cars here sir , I can fix tires or a hose" "It's nothing major son, I need a bulb for Rudolph's nose" "It doesn't stay on like it should and the other deer get frantic" "And I can't risk it going out when I'm over the Atlantic" "So, if you would replace it now with something nice and bright" "I'd pay you well for all your time and for aiding in my plight" Rob stepped up, fixed Rudolph's nose and said "This one's on me" "And for all work done in my shop you get a guarantee" We all stood round as Santa left, for we new that  it was him For he left us each a candy cane in a metal alloy rim And as we watched him fly away, I'm sure we heard him yell "There's mistletoe tattooed on her too, but...where I'll never tell!"

mid-afternoon sunrays beam against the blanketed city snow, your miles away this December wishing on the same falling stars. Saturday trains murmur dusk-cascaded gleam you're across the Atlantic shore seasonal depression combating last-second windswept bliss unfinished song-writes seem inkless on half-folded paper airplanes for hidden chances and empty truths lone twilight in streetlights mold

Seasonal Depression
I read last Saturday in the redwoods outside of Santa Cruz and I was about 3/4's finished when I heard a long high scream and a quite attractive young girl came running toward me long gown & divine eyes of fire and she leaped up on the stage and screamed: "I WANT YOU! I WANT YOU! TAKE ME! TAKE ME!" I told her, "look, get the hell away from me." but she kept tearing at my clothing and throwing herself at me. "where were you," I asked her, "when I was living on one candy bar a day and sending short stories to the Atlantic Monthly?" she grabbed my ***** and almost twisted them off. her kisses tasted like shitsoup. 2 women jumped up on the stage and carried her off into the woods. I could still hear her screams as I began the next poem. mabye, I thought, I should have taken her on stage in front of all those eyes. but one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid.

Tybee Lighthouse
you and i are fretful, wary fish-- old souls. anxious beings. sometimes i think that you and i are part of a whole-- the two fish tied together by the rope. as the song says, *"i wanna ruin our friendship, we should be lovers instead; i don't know how to say this, 'cause you're really my dearest friend."* but honestly, i crave you in the most innocent of ways. if i could kiss you just once, simply sleep next to you and be at peace, that would be more than enough for me. we made a pact -- at thirty we will get married just because we can. but it hurts -- i know it doesn't mean the same to you as it does to me i just want to marry you someday live in a house near the Atlantic and the rooms will be full of cacti and succulents the scent of baked goods will waft out from the kitchen where we will be battling the cats for space on the table to let the macarons cool -- vanilla bean, rose raspberry, chocolate peppermint some days, this is all i can think about and i could never admit that to you

two fish
Gold sandy beaches flow from her follicles Eyes like oceans, the Atlantic and Pacific are storming with jealousy Her personality washes over slowly, low tide waves calm treacherous nerves I use to navigate these water so well, acting the part of a sailor These days, I consider myself lucky to hear her crash against the shore My fingertips will never forget the feeling of sand between them
