"bellies" poems
*i always imagine you so very graceful through the masochists ordeal a god form of supplication seeing your face in love fascinated by shimmering kisses that hurt, yet please wet lips and sharp teeth   glamors that excite cold blade licks dragged across tender bellies naval buttocks and flexed toes stinging then radiating outwards wounds become lilies mouth ******* tremulous weeping kisses ecstatic cruelties blood glitter sacrifice your supplication love pangs i'm shaking apart over you your countenance a cascading dream moved to tears of adoration your  limitless yielding like surrenders caress an infinite communion with fragile limbs silky wrapped spools innerness of desire veiled in a shroud a faltering star that glistens crimson nymph of purgation ash volcanic cells en-flamed with tongues that bite subsumed in scented vapors a confection of **** and *** waves embrace ineffable shores passed the discontinuity of life   I have the most immense feeling of love for you am i not the saint death   quietly following you through life's labyrinth innocuous   waiting humbly in the wings i am all ache for you a vice of kisses a brief encounter that eats your sight and senses ushering you to immortal freedom a swooning garland of fire that enlivens the body electric a mist of molecules your tears intoxicate i am new life with in you budding embryo that consumes its mother for nourishment and saturates like dew drops   as it echoes through oblivion*

Echoes of Oblivion
the walls of the inside passage look the same from sound to straight tugs and plugs dot the coastline as the quartermaster rolls giving time for evening glare   pods are in sequence as the high tail smashes and jaws at the krill white bellies and sea cows bob and weave as bow heads glide over haida gwaii   northern lights dance and tlingit chant as the tide settles softly on savory shores their getting hungry in hoonah as the blue back and beating drums mark the life blood of the sea   driftwood nets and sitka spruce surround the cook house ravens and tinhorns man the scullery kerosene lamps flicker as clam shells roast on open flames   villagers stroll on pebbled sand *in the harbor of souls where ships set sail on might and mass into the steady winds of the golden skies* ice fields (to the north) of kryptonite blue cutting hills at a glacial pace knuckle clouds above the snowline where warlocks craft a hidden trade   trappers, skinners muscle shoals grizzly feasts in kodiak bowl determined pilgrims on a dead horse trail in search of gold the holy grail

black jaw
Now, today has been a **** day in every single way. Today was the start of my holiday in Spain, until French strikes, caused me pain. We were not flying. Now, I did not weep, wail or flail my skin, instead, I said c'est la vie. They are so very French. Reminded myself that the French are cheese eating surrender monkeys, awful at football (soccer) dreadful at tennis, middling in rugby, and tend to suffer delusions of grandeur **** a French word!) They lost at Agincourt, Waterloo, WW2, think snails are a delicacy,and  allowed Mr. ****** in to rub their bellies. But, I am H.A.P.P.Y. Home Alive Prompt Proud Y? Because I'm eating strawberries and cream, whilst watching Wimbledon. How very British!

Happy
They have spent their content of simpering, holding their lips this and that way, winding the lines between their brows. Old folks allow their bellies to jiggle like slow tamborines. The hollers rise up and spill over any way they want. When old folks laugh, they free the world. They turn slowly, slyly knowing the best and the worst of remembering. Saliva glistens in the corners of their mouths, their heads wobble on brittle necks, but their laps are filled with memories. When old folks laugh, they consider the promise of dear painless death, and generously forgive life for happening to them.

Old Folks laugh
One day my brother and I walked the path to the Mango Tree I was so happy to go see my friend the mango tree. How ever my brother was not… “What’s so great about a stupid ol’ mango tree it’s never done anything for me!” “SHH!” I said scornfully “She has feelings too, and she has done much for you. She has given us her fruit to fill our bellies and shade for free.” But my brother didn’t listen to me, He stubbornly went and kicked the tree repeatedly. And yelled “Mango Trees do NOT have feelings!” The tree shook violently and out from under it’s leaves dropped a bright green mango SMACK right on my brothers head and he fell dead. Another juicy plump mango dropped at my feet like the Mango Tree was thanking me. I picked it up and sat beside my senseless brother by the Mango Tree while devouring my mango and enjoying the silent scenery.

Irony of the Mango Tree
They are always with us, the thin people Meager of dimension as the gray people On a movie-screen. They Are unreal, we say: It was only in a movie, it was only In a war making evil headlines when we Were small that they famished and Grew so lean and would not round Out their stalky limbs again though peace Plumped the bellies of the mice Under the meanest table. It was during the long hunger-battle They found their talent to persevere In thinness, to come, later, Into our bad dreams, their menace Not guns, not abuses, But a thin silence. Wrapped in flea-ridded donkey skins, Empty of complaint, forever Drinking vinegar from tin cups: they wore The insufferable nimbus of the lot-drawn Scapegoat. But so thin, So weedy a race could not remain in dreams, Could not remain outlandish victims In the contracted country of the head Any more than the old woman in her mud hut could Keep from cutting fat meat Out of the side of the generous moon when it Set foot nightly in her yard Until her knife had pared The moon to a rind of little light. Now the thin people do not obliterate Themselves as the dawn Grayness blues, reddens, and the outline Of the world comes clear and fills with color. They persist in the sunlit room: the wallpaper Frieze of cabbage-roses and cornflowers pales Under their thin-lipped smiles, Their withering kingship. How they prop each other up! We own no wilderness rich and deep enough For stronghold against their stiff Battalions. See, how the tree boles flatten And lose their good browns If the thin people simply stand in the forest, Making the world go thin as a wasp's nest And grayer; not even moving their bones.

We sit on the beach and smoke, Secrets drizzling down our throats, Drilling for oil on the ocean floor Where the neon jellies live. The words get caught up in our throats, We slither like eels in the coral reef Where the neon jellies live, And mate by swimming in paint. We slither like eels in the coral reef And ignore how wet we are, As we mate by swimming in paint, Greens and blues melting together. We never care how wet we are Or how much sea we swallow, Our bellies swell like open eyes, Bursting and spraying our faces Where we can't help but swallow What we spit at our faces, From the oil we drilled from the ocean floor Where the neon jellies live And die while washed up on the shore.

'Twas all so beautiful a sight, A long summers night; The sacred stars were burning bright about our mother moon. The wind filled the sails above the waves, that sped us through the sailors tales, and brought us to a deep lagoon. We cast our nets out far and wide, then watched them sink below the tide, which rattled out a tune for me and you. We hauled aboard the silver fish, to fill our bellies and our fists, then set off home with seagulls squawking tunes. The wooden boat now tied about the quay, its tattered sail and rusty cleat, gently tug and tug the rope upon the swell. come to sea! You know me well!!

no, I'm not talking about the ones with big noses or greasy hair not the ones with bad breath or round bellies no, I just like them raw a little broken, a little sad the ones with scars a story to tell I sure know how to pick em' you might say but I'd never give them up any day a whole adventure in a person like the outdoors one with canyons and mountains he would let me explore only ugly guys give themselves all at once no parts hidden, everything is exposed vulnerability is thought to be a weakness but in reality it's bold I like ugly guys.

with nothing else to fill their bellies the mice went back to eating poison and the ants in search of crumbs came back with nothing but death on their backs to feed their queens and under the light of the stars we crumbled the murdering of crows was made legal as the color of the doves guilt was decided to be more pure than the blood of a dead mans heart no matter the weight of his innocence and all this could have been stopped all this could have been avoided none of this... none of it... had to happen but we heard the screams of kindness we heard its cry for help we saw the hands of cruelty around its neck we saw the hate foaming we saw the dreams bleeding out and we did nothing and misery breed and filled the streets and slept in our beds and made its home under our skin and not even the light of the stars was enough for us to remember what it meant to be human back before we abandoned joy in the pursuit of the wealth of greed

In this life you will find Degradation unavoidable For it is in the weather of our life Degradation is like radioactive waste We pass like presents to each other The rain on a wedding day As I did once live In the shadows of dread As degradation breathed on me And I fell into the pits of self doubt And stank of slimy sewers For I was lost in loathing , But my soul grew rapidly In the muck and mud of this world For it was fertile and rich As my roots drank up all its goodness So please send me your degradation Your disrespect and contempt Your pretty wrapping of best interests Makes no fool of me For I will soak it up like the sky above For I embrace my madness And caress her beauty Like the most cherished lover As you reject your life Within the tight confines Of your own reason As you seek to bury your Disappointments in me I hold your self doubt in my hands For you live by scales and ranking As I throw away all scales And burn all efforts For there is nothing I can take from this world So please, please Strain if you must Look down on me If you can, As I am above For I own the sky And live above and beyond But all degradation disappears In the softest heart Of self acceptance As I fill the room All banter falls like the softest snow As we serenely dance and play In our snowball games As I learn to swing and play All jokes bounce and tickle The inside of my belly For I live in the ecstasy Of my own self acceptance As we roll around like clowns All barriers broken Our bellies full of joy As we spill over with love And bounce around like jelly For no degradation exists In the center of our hearts Where God permeates our souls For his love should be Followed into us whole As I accept God's goodness And perfection in all of me

My ascent into adulthood was just that, an ascent. It has come slowly with little consistency and massive amounts of determination, stamina, and a reassuring trust in the universe. But the idea of adulthood has slipped its way into my expanding comfort zone with ease, which I think has come from the preparation I received throughout my childhood. The importance of perseverance and hard work in achieving anything at all was beyond emphasized in the parenting techniques of my immigrant mother and father. They sent the babies straight from their unemployed bellies into the best forms of higher education they could find because My achieving of adulthood was more of just a gradual shift in mentality and perspective that developed into my addiction to change and new experiences, distaste for dependence, and denial of my previous nostalgic tendencies. With more maturity also came a more logical understanding of the world around me. The more I understood the working ways of my surroundings, physical and psychological, the better I could feel my drive to achieve. The achievement I sought was not economic or career oriented in any aspect. It was based off of my ceaseless search for something new or for the rad or for the gnar or for swagger or for living a life that could inspire a minimum of 3 people including myself. The seed of this search was planted in me during my childhood by my five older siblings who all held within their bellies a fire of the same breed.

adulthood-start bad
Life knew it would be hard So it hard-wired its many children With a self-serving fondness Life was well aware of the darkness And for fear of objectivity Man was subjected to instinct Life knew of loneliness So it made us laugh down Through our bellies and slap our knees Life was well aware of heartache So it drove us toward pleasure And made us forgetful Life made us forgiving Resilient, blissful Life, the narcissist Knew of limits And made us to imagine Life watched me balk its efforts And gave me to you

I will re-visit The modern picts, The viking border people Comparing ******* And slapping bellies While giving dheagh shlainte. They've plundered their last village; It's been a while since they protected the walls While sleep sets in. They raid the pubs, Raise a glass shield, Weild a shot glass Singing shlainte, The dragon ships have sailed.

Alien among aliens, Fanning delicate fins to promenade A prim coquette and starchy cavalier Trimmed and tined in ossein finery, Sipping shrimp cocktails, dancing demure Circles before blushing coral courts, Holding hinds in groves of turtle grass Until the paisley bodies Bump bellies, and she imbues his pocket With inklings marooned in dreaming Pegasus.

You make me feel wistful With your tight bellies, limpid eyes and endless manes of hair, You make me feel afraid. Dainty Angels, I can't...Quite...Remember... You make me feel jealous With your waiflike allure, sad vulnerability, delicate beauty, You make me feel inadequate. Fairy Foundlings, I won't...ever...be.... You make me feel ancient Outside, dated and decrepit. How do you feel? What do you need? Why are you all so sad? My dreams are your nightmares. I tasted raindrops once, too I almost have it, almost understand.

Running amok black bellies of hail-clouds divest their hard cargo on near-ready harvest and thunder claps in spiteful applause. Scudding sails of racing white galleons arrive to the rescue and change weather's position as quiet breaches gale's disorder. Setting the sun throws magenta feathers across dark horizon and to settle the issue parades jade tints as the landscape transforms. Waiting small boats plod homewards in fish-laden formation while wives run to stoke hot-kettled fires of ready bath water. Lighting a pathway half-moon winks as heavier catches in hauled nets silver the harbour and men start night's final performance. Sating hunger with coming and going sow-and-reap women know the meaning of sharing male labour in scaling and salting chores. Fisher-folks' world begins and ends with the vagaries and quirks of weather.

The Balloon Of The Mind
Its in these waters, when I was merely a Parr Or as you might refer to me as a fry, This wise but young Brook Trout cruised the slow water with my kinfolk fry. Moving to and fro hiding among the biome vegetation The sunlight supported my living space and warmed my growth rings. I dart in and out of the oxygenated seams which help me flourish. Some days, I had to use stealth to outwit the pine marten and warblers, I shadowed the cattail and watched them fill their bellies with those around me. But I felt fate had a purpose for me to be something special. And When the time was right, I'd propel myself above the water into the night air. The large circle of orange light filled my eyes and the night sky was filled with luminary. I imagined what it must be like to live outside this riffle domain. This morning, through my refractory vision I spot some floating objects, And through an inherited sensory recall I can see these are hatching green Drakes. I immediately shoot to the surface and fill my stomach, then swim back to the undercut for cover. As the years pass by and maturity abounds,  I find my self settling in behind a large boulder Right at the tail out of the back eddy, providing me with an ample food supply. And it's here I prefer to live my life in the slow current, content and peaceful. And one day as I swam into the current seam, I spotted what appeared to be, A different looking bug with yellow belly,  so I make my move. He's not moving much so I decide to raise my head above the water line and sip. As I grab the hopper I start to slide back behind the boulder, When I feel a pinch, as if someone try's to pull me towards the surface I fight with all my might but this force proves to be stronger than I. It's now I realize a human reels me towards the shore line, and I'm fearful. This one called a human, grabs my tail and places his hand on my under belly. Pulling me from my home, he dislodges the hook from my mouth. I gasp for oxygen. He looks me over from nose to tail, smiles and says how beautiful I am. He looks me in the eye And says " This was a wonderful fight my friend, enjoy the rest of your life, He places me back in water, gently reviving me and finally lets me swim away. I dare to turn and look back at him for a moment and as he continues to watch me, I hear him say " I fish, knowing everyday on this stream is a gift."

*rocks don't care all stubble and stones a difficult geometry so if they don't fit they are hammered and crushed to rubble jammed together to make virile walls and if stabbed with swords care not about torn bellies and broken necks soaking them crimson rust or drowned nautilus beneath the sea humans have futility in common with rocks except that everything girds and gnaws at their belligerent sensitivity all clouded soft towers bi-pedal mortal spires with tender flesh beaten into place lacerated truncated amputees to fit the outer life of status and statues a scandal to the inner coves of self I'm envious of rocks except for moments of shifting watery kisses clamorous for love we remain disfigured terrains hunters of souls balmy unguents while fluctious immolating moons unravel in a hidden grieving oh countenance of apathy only to be more like you a wilderness of stumps and dead rock gods and our aspiration indifference our exit the path of the renunciate a penitence feasting only on futility and the vagaries of spirit*

THE FUTILITY OF ROCKS
The boy sat beneath the grey gum, listening to the magpie crooning, somewhere far above his head. He watched as the figure approached, an old man stumbling down a dirt track. "Yer back than." said the boy, standing. "Yeah." Replied the man, "I'm back." The boy sat down again "Yer staying?" "I should never have left you, I realise that now." The man replied. "Was it fun where you went?" asked the boy, "No, it was miserable." said the man, "It could never be fun without you. Have you been to the tree house lately?" "Not since you left," said the boy. "I've just been sitting here waiting, for you to take me to the carnival, where we could eat candy floss and hot dogs to our bellies ached." "I should have taken you with me, I've missed the carnivals and candy floss." The man said his eyes filling with tears. "Is the tyre still hanging over the water hole?" "Of cause it is," said the boy, "you want to go there?" "Oh yes!" Cried the man "I want to go there. More than anything I want to go there!" The boy stood up and took his hand, and together they walked across the pond. 03/03/2010
