"bight" poems
Sometimes you have no reason to stay, and realize that's a perfect argument to go. And that taking an entirely new way, is the sore but single method to grow. If you're washed-on abeyance's bight, and you feel decision's heavy heft: To choose the left where nothing's right, or go to the right where nothing's left. Remember it matters not where you proceed, or which mountain you want to ascend. It does not matter whether you succeed, it is the journey that matters in the end.

Journey to happiness
Trapped in a cage with golden bars of light Of ancient habit and direful duties; Below the water crashed into the bight, The whispering waves baiting with beauties. But her shadow lurked around the coast, Dashing her to the beach like drifting wood. Preventing her from what she wanted the most To reach new shores from where she stood. She wanted to travel and sail the open sea Beyond the shingle, seaweed and shells Closer to the horizon where the birds flew free Or to the arenaceous ground in diving bells. And coming back to where she started She found her seaside changed since she has parted. Or did the widening horizon change her perceiving? For returning was not the same as never leaving.

New horizons
a single column around my favourite part, the inside of your wrists I brush the fibers against porcelain wanting to leave a mark let me create a map of red lines and bruises on your skin this way I'll know where to lightly caress or run my tongue along or dig my fingers into breath you into me and sync our breaths slow and calm I run the bight along your arms tug it across your chest it is meticulous as the rope runs tandem and I go slow savouring each ******* fold over, under, through, tighter, harder your smile commands me so I ask you to beg tell me you want it I want to hear it tell me you want me of course I'll give in we both know you're in charge I maintain tension with the rope it's a language I've become fluent in I maintain tension through eye contact though I pray you won't see through me I maintain control of myself and keep to the task at hand wrapping you like a gift, like my gift subspace is a land I've never been to but I know the face you make when you get there your eyes flit and I can sense your arousal our breathing quickens as you contract against my lips you are unbound and released as I pull the rope tighter I'll bind you free

Boundless
There is no smell in all the world, None in the North or South, None in the East or West, None in the lowest places, None on the highest peaks, Like that smell filling the air, Filling the house, Filling my senses, That smell of spaghetti frying, Frying in the morning light, The smell so different from when it was first cooked, Moving the senses, Moving the mind, Anticipation in scent, The sauce sizzling, Changing, Changing in the frying pan, As the noodles turn crisper, Crisper, Crisp, With that crispness like no other, The noodles, No longer white, Made yellow, Yellow from the sauce, Fried onto them, One with them, Flavours seeping in, And the sauce, Orange now, Red orange but clearly orange, No longer the bright red it was when it entered the pan, And as the sauce and noodles change, Reach that perfect point, The smell just right, The colour just right, The texture just right, The sizzling reaching the perfect crescendo, Then, and only then, The spaghetti no longer stirring, Evened out, Temperature lowered, And carefully, Slowly, To keep them on the top, The eggs break, White running among the noodles, Filling the gaps, Turning from clear to white as they hit the hot pan, Yolks floating on top where they should be, The perfect drop, And the odours as the white changes, Filling the air with new scents, Mingling with the ones already present, And then the salt, disappearing on the surface, The black pepper, Black flects, Scattered evenly, Perfectly, The smell of pepper joining the egg and spaghetti, And a splash of Tobacco Sauce across the whole, That hot smell, That bright red colour, And the silver lid slips on, Over the top, Hiding, Protecting, Cooking the whole, Until it is done, And the lid set aside, The whole onto a plate, Perfect to the senses, The smell, The colours, The texture, Perfect, And the first bight, Heavenly, Like nothing else on earth, Almost sweet, But still savoury, Strange to those knowing bowled pasta, Strange to those knowing simmered sauce, Strange to those knowing fried eggs, But the tastes, Perfect, Blended, Strange but familiar, Many memories, Images, Experiences, All coming together like the different parts of the fried spaghetti, And the fork through the yoke, As it runs down, Bright yellow into orange and red and black and white, Perfect, Amazing, Done. ~The Smell of Fried Spaghetti by Bethany Davis, June 19, 2015

+ A bed-sits high and dry,marooned on a sandbank of night. As radio 4-casts its nets to isolated ships like me that rudderless drift on into the light. Still dark outside,no sounds,save the distant echoing bark of a hungry fox ----streets away. Another dawn ripped blackbin bag of a day creeps and ouzes in Heavy unfocused lids fogged in the steamy smokeyness of tea and a first fag plenty of time plenty of time. Time before the world wakes to the morning pips and its flushing, brushing, rushing sounds A greyness gathers just beyound my pained curtains, as with a silent sigh a roosted blackbird clears its fasted throat. Then as if by magic I 'm carried, scimming high above and beyound this mooring set in a silvered sea,on a welcomed mantra known to all. As if a calling pray at day break,following each word in a moment subline Un angle vole un angle vole. Rockall - Malin - Hebrides Humber - Fisher - German bight Thames - Dover - Wight. Each single secert understood and noted only by a few as I glide over in paced, pausey surf rolling words North northeast - 994 - Falling slowly - Low pressure moving away - Gales 8 very poor - Backing 3-4 later - Mainly good - Becoming variable - Syclonic later - Increasing 6-7 mainly west - Swally showers for a time - Fair - Good. Oh so good, each pure English comforting sounds heard over lapping waves of air. The bushy wet nosed fox sulks and cowers away from the breaking sun, as the blackbird draws a dewdropped breath though golden nib and tapping gently, call a hidden choir into song just for me. Reminding me of the things I'd for gotten I care about. Sharp timed unwelcomed pips flood the ears to prise open sticky eyes from promised dreams and spoon-cuddles warm As I set forth on wetted pavements, ready to decline into my charted day. Yet smiling as if blessed and no longer alone But filled with early morning salty thoughts of strangers I have yet to meet

the loneliness of a pair of eyes deep and serene as a vast field of wildflowers nestled between great mountains they see your beauty and feel your allure your bight colors make them feel alive your novelty makes them feel worthy the lonely people come and pick of your abundance they take you home and display your essence in a vase a memory of vitality until the flowers choke and fade away from their Source so the lonely people return day after day they pick a small bouquet because the field is endless so it seems what’s a few flowers to a whole field? they picked the field to scraps of color barely vibrant the field has grown thistles and thorns around its edge with a riddle guarding a single entrance “What are You that I Am?“ (to know you must become the field)

wildflower eyes
I remember quite distinctly The night the Angel came Hovering above my field And calling me by name Fred, the Angel yelled to me Waking all my sheep I yelled "you stupid ****** twit" I've just got them to sleep He said a king was born to man And I must go to see I said, "I've got these bleating sheep" I don't do this for free The angel said follow the star All the way to Bethlehem I told him, you must be ****** daft My next shift starts at ten I've been around the world a bit And I've seen a lot of stunts But this angel hung right in the air And his wings did not flap once He said there is a child And he will be the King of Kings I didn't really listen much I was still watching those **** wings The sheep were going batty The field was bight as bright could be I said, of all the shepherds round here Why did you come wake me? He said to travel swiftly And to follow yonder star I said, I'm off to bed mate I'm not going on that far Then there came a bolt of lightning He had barbecued a ewe I thought this bird means business I mean just what could I do? I left my flock with Charlie The shepherd two fields over one And I said I'll be back soon mate I'm off to see the holy son I met up with some others All of us had the same tale Of an angel flinging lightning So we all felt we best bail.... I got there in December I'd been travelling for months The only thing I thought of Those wings...did not move once There inside a manger behind an inn...full up each day Was where I saw a vision I'll remember to my last day Three wise men dressed in robements A little kid, and his tin drum Some donkeys and a camel The baby Jesus and his mum Dad, was in the corner All alone hanging his head He said "How could this have happened" "I never left the bed" I looked upon the baby And I looked down upon that face He looked at me and smiled You could feel a state of grace I really didn't know then What I was here to do But, now I know my task was To tell everyone I knew So, I started out on homeward To tell old Charlie of the kid I picked him up a present Yep..that's exactly what I did I guess the world must owe me and this I 'll stand and shout You could consider my gift to Charlie Was the first true gift given out Now, I sit and watch the sheep here People come up just to see The shepherd who started gifting The shepherd...that is me!!!

Resurrecting the Tower of Babel
When I'm alone at night Laying in my bed The demons come out Attach to my head The voices whisper Never knowing what they said But every time Fill me with overwhelming dread My body only has evil fed And all emotions have completely fled My grey sight Has just turned to red And the rage takes over Arms turn to bull dozers Anybody in my path will be run over I'm a *** addict Popping perks Like i gatta have it Coke in my pocket Gotta grab it Your ******* throat I gotta stab it Living in poverty Blinded by hate Until i can't even see That demon i hate is me Deep inside it breathes Blood it needs And death it seeks My cheeks turn red My head starts to spin My mouth opens up No words appear Constantly trembling in fear Knowing my death is constantly near Pills in my pocket Take them with beer Start shedding tears I spit poison My mind is toxic My heart is frozen Brain with no logic Speak without a topic My evil is atomic Zoned out like im bionic My life is chronically chaotic And i smoke until im hypnotically psychotic Stuck in a constant fight or flight So much dark no hope for light The darkness has taken over my eye sight I'm a monster Prepare for a fright No bark all bight And when i attack i come with all my might Stuck in this eternal night

Chaotic State Of Mind
[On my birthday] At low tide like this how sheer the water is. White, crumbling ribs of marl protrude and glare and the boats are dry, the pilings dry as matches. Absorbing, rather than being absorbed, the water in the bight doesn't wet anything, the color of the gas flame turned as low as possible. One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire one could probably hear it turning to marimba music. The little ocher dredge at work off the end of the dock already plays the dry perfectly off-beat claves. The birds are outsize. Pelicans crash into this peculiar gas unnecessarily hard, it seems to me, like pickaxes, rarely coming up with anything to show for it, and going off with humorous elbowings. Black-and-white man-of-war birds soar on impalpable drafts and open their tails like scissors on the curves or tense them like wishbones, till they tremble. The frowsy sponge boats keep coming in with the obliging air of retrievers, bristling with jackstraw gaffs and hooks and decorated with bobbles of sponges. There is a fence of chicken wire along the dock where, glinting like little plowshares, the blue-gray shark tails are hung up to dry for the Chinese-restaurant trade. Some of the little white boats are still piled up against each other, or lie on their sides, stove in, and not yet salvaged, if they ever will be, from the last bad storm, like torn-open, unanswered letters. The bight is littered with old correspondences. Click. Click. Goes the dredge, and brings up a dripping jawful of marl. All the untidy activity continues, awful but cheerful.

The strike of the rainbow warriors part 2 We arrive in the rainbow land of mystery and see lots of rainbow people watching us while the bight coloured green ship lands in the dock. The golden goddess watches with delight when a golden sheet is laid down for us to walk upon. The crowd roars in laughter while our golden army is taken down towards the big bright palace of illusions to meet the king of rainbow land. After reaching the palace a guard dressed in bight orange takes us through towards a big golden study. A confused white tiger looks around the strange bright palace and starts to feel very scared all of sudden at something in the air . We all comfort the white tiger while its mouth drops with shock at the moving roof above our bodies and the strange atmosphere . All of a sudden the king of the rainbow people walks in and stands next to his gold desk of power holding his bright hands towards the roof . I hug luitent megs while the horses seem to become more concerned and unsure about the strange king while the room begins to spin about. The golden goddess suddenly grabs a door handle to escape but get thrown down upon the golden carpet by some sort of strange force . At that moment the room becomes a mist of surprise and the windows have become metal shields of terror while we begin to run about looking for a means of escape . We all stand in shock when the king transform's into a large pumpkin monster and his bodyguards have become large fire breathing dragon men with long spiked tails. The horses kick out at the dragon men's bodies while they try and beat us down but gets zapped by the king laser gun of hatred . The dragon men then escort us all towards another room with yellow walls while the pumpkin king throws some magic powder over our scared bodies of terror. we promise to reveal the kings secret to the rainbow people until a smiling red witch with golden hair appears in the room and says we will evaporate into dust powder if we reveal the secret of the pumpkin king. All of a sudden a door opens and we are ****** out inside the rainbow city with thousands of rainbow warriors cheering and clapping at our golden army. We look with disbelief while a guard of rainbow people escort us towards our bight red hotel of multicoloured glass. written by wayne mockler ownership and copyright wayne mockler

Rustle rustle through the trees the wind of the North, a cool air breeze shake as they might the leaves hold tight as the cool sea breeze flew through the night Through the trees and through the fields and through the mines as which it wields a chill that frosty death can bight as the breeze flew through the night the leaves they shook the seas they churned the fields in which the poppies burned a wilted flower in the breeze holds tight to life while it pleads in the distance of the night a cool air breeze is now in flight off to the void in which it came leaving the world a frosty frame

The Breeze
Children between the ages of six and ten boys not even close to being men And you, you call yourself a man? A man of what, of cowardice a man of strange of deranged thoughts scared faces reduced to scarred hearts unable to heal being torn apart All the pain is too real The eighteen children too young to know to go to the unknown A place set for a person no longer here Eighteen children you robbed of their lives put their families through all the fear For what reason Children no older than fingers on their hands no younger than the time on their stands standing graves for eighteen children who won't know anymore of a summer breeze or getting down on one knee to pledge the love the same love you took from families and victims alike Causing all the strife So you call yourself a man when you stood before eighteen children That you put on their death bed along with yourself who couldn't listen to his own **** head. 36 parents who have to identify their child who no longer roams free and wild all because you exiled The innocence and life out of eighteen bight children Tell me, what right did you have to be given the title of a Man

Eighteen Children..
He would ride up to the field God had lain so purposefully for him Along the final bight of an earthen track. Narrow, which climbed, as with him It swerved. He believed in God then. Fenced off, blades became thick as A dare, a moment—before confession Or asking out his girl, the one whose Crescent eyes in smile moonlit clefts In his time. He would see her moving Her body like His girl, exhaling His Name, as if He was her only breath. Through oceanic grasses she would Flow in his ear, all the warm hadal Mist of her. Aging wood throbbing From gusts of wind on the fence. Deep Enclosure of slender stalks and stems Swaying by the rhythm of an ancient Reverie. Crickets and junebugs, early Fireflies lilting, sung to him tunes of Indecipherable freedom. But not once Did he cross, not once did he ever Disturb a nature obeying the music. Only the torrid yearning he allowed To slip through the separation, knowing There it was reunited, home among The barely heard hum of the grasses Oneiric and bare. Years later, when The fence had disappeared, he once Walked through and was overcome By an emptiness thrashing against Emptiness. In a single gust, scented of His desinence, those years passed again And he thought. *Even if I’d crossed, Had joined—not disturbed. Even if*.

Fenced Off, Blades Become Thick
They sailed out of Miami Aboard the Southern Light Headed for Sunset Island at A place called Key West Bight When suddenly a mist appeared Filling a cloudless sky The sea began to churn and boil The compass spun awry Their hearts began to flutter as Their minds were filled with fear There seemed no explanation for For the thing that would appear The lightning flashed; the moon turned dark Then came an evil sight Out of the sky a ghost ship sailed That cast an eerie light Unlike a craft that men might build With neither rig nor tower No sound of grinding engines No oarsmen to give power She silently hung in the air Moved With no observed force She followed without error every Time they changed their course And like the Ghost that haunted them There still seemed to persist The cloud that now surrounded them That evil yellow mist There are no words that can describe The chilling taste of fear The kind of fear that robs men’s souls Of all that they hold dear But I can tell you plainly how Five sailors weighed with fright Lost all their nerve that fateful day Aboard the Southern Light With the radio not working And the compass failing too The southern Light was lost at sea Along with her whole crew But then the ghost ship disappeared And sky returned to norm It seemed three hours of troubled sea Had left the men forlorn But when the crew was safe on shore To tell their tales of their dangers Twelve years had passed since they’d left home Their families now were strangers

Edifice erections surreal mistic heights Wayward excursions and catenary's bight Communal collusions of harmonies site Ethereal subsistence on exsertion's light Lingam and yoni are indefatigably tight Exponential overload was communities plight Semantic regalia is myriad temptation Finite being a mutual oblation Vicarious recalcitrance an obeisant sensation Conception's vastness like incalculable equation   Ephemeral effulgence is indomitable pervasion Treacherous traverse and eternal occasion Succinct salience is symbiotic allegory Fecundity's verve a transcendent promontory Imperative ascension the conjunctive's divinatory Audacity's exigence and fertility's invocatory Erotica's erectile like mentality's trajectory Futurity's fatidic and inherent delusory **** it fell right over like categorical imperative's contradictory

bright light of the hearts
Where are we, Kaya?                                   Landscapes pock like amanita muscaria, fly agaria the long-legged mushrooms, scarlet and foot-cloven and languages rage and quicken like seeds Seated at the empty table bloated from unrequited intentions we refrain from embrasures Your Garingau voice &  throaty laugh ripple over our eyes Ha liya youn dabib? You ask: Where are we going? from here, with Lighthouse Caye in sight on this sea of blighted corals beyond Seine Bight where you were born as a footling-- inked though it became-- sole dark, Soul bright emerging from the long dive talismans training in your toothless mouth foretelling the deeper plunges off Billy Hawk Caye at Solstice soulfully spearing our Sole--food without strife And there is richer fare where we are going into the night Kaya. ~ Lin Ostler December 23. 2011 all rights reserved

Where Are We, Kaya?
I have no need for a knight in shining armor sitting upon their  high horse With perfect shields and swords held high Give  me a knight with battered  armor dented shields and scratched bladed Who have hunted down their demons faced their feare and won With bight eyes and angry scars Give me a knight that's traveled far Not one that's stayed in their own court yard

Knights
That BBC accent over the air, a beacon in my hour of despair, Thames, Dover,  Portland and White, the warm, soft glow of the radio light, Shannon, Fastnet, Plymouth,  Biscay, Soothing my soul ‘til light of day, Dogga, Fisher and German Bight, my only comfort throughout the night, Cromarty, Malin, forth and tyne, Through static crackle, his voice so fine, Those childhood days have long since gone, No big old radio to twist and turn on, But I’ll always remember, forevermore, Listening to the shipping forecast on Radio Four.

The shipping forecast
An endless track, Meandering predicatively, 305 times around, Yet never knowing what lies beyond this Grizzled track. Shivering, My gray spirit presses on, 305 steps taken Through this impenetrable fog, Many more to go. This bight winds on, This way and that, 305 turns. The speckles of this devious path Cloud the search for meaning. Only a breath, Only a moment, 305 days. Run away from the end, Clear the path for me.

Bight
*You want me to tell you what happened, don't you? You want me to bare it all, every sordid detail.* ..... And so she sat there at the dining room table, even now 20 plus years later, I still feel sorry for her. How hard it must have been for her to say, "I think we have become too familiar with one another, and I need to find myself". What the **** did that mean? She has never said anything like that in the 10 years we'd been married. What the **** I didn't know then, but those were euphemisms a friend had told her to say. She wasn’t really all that good at communicating you see. She took a bight of souffle and kept blankly staring at the refurbished china hutch, the one she picked out at the flea market and said we would refinish it together. We... never did. I said, with a new found fear in my voice, "So this is it?". I hadn’t yet felt the sting of actually getting a divorce. And with a heart stopping seriousness in here eyes she said, "I think it is." Blood rushed to my head, like a car running a stop sign in front of me, I crashed. On my one shoulder was a devil that wanted to yell and scream and call her names. On the other was the Angel of Karma, telling me that this is one of those moments in life that you are either going to be proud of, or regret. So quietly I said, "how can I help you find yourself ?".   All the while frantically thinking..... Think, think, think of something to say that will keep her from leaving.

late October of 1989
The golden goddess looks around the cold dark house of horrors and see a large light shining from a room upstairs. The golden warriors follow the horses up the stairs to look at the bight light ad a large tunnel in a bright red room. A frantic golden goddess leads our army up towards the room while the black creatures begin to break down the cold doors of evil. At that point the gargoyles fly down from the large black mountain and start to attack our brave bodies in the house. We all quickly run down the dimly lit tunnel towards another bright light below. the evil black creatures begin coming up the stairs firing laser shots at our warriors heads. Our army manages to blow some of the dark creatures apart with our glowing cyber swords of hate while running down the tunnel. After reaching the end of the tunnel we become trapped inside this big green world of plants and trees everywhere. The dark creatures turn back halfway down the tunnel laughing at our warriors of hope. All of a sudden thousands of green goblins appear in front of us surrounding our full army with hate and anger across their deep red faces. We are all made to stand in a line on the green grass of goblin land. The gremlins point their big machine guns of hate at our bodies making us throw our weapons on the cold green grass of horror. An army of gremlins march us down towards a bubbling orange river and make us all strip to the smiling hordes of other goblin creatures. I look in to the eyes of luitent megs while four goblin monsters force the underwear off her shaken body. we are all made to sit in a big steel cage of horror while the goblins lead tow naked warriors to a long blue pole. The golden goddess and her army watch while the goblins begin to cut off each finger of the brave warriors hand. We all scream anger at the goblins while they begin cutting the poor souls faces off with a large glowing red sword. A disgusted golden goddess screams in terror while the bodies fall to the the floor faceless with eyes and noses lying in the thick mud of evil. The horses bounce up and down in anger at the goblins evil tricks of horror. We all lay down in the damp cold smelly cage of hatred while the big blue moon shines over the world of the goblins. The green goblins guards sit and watch our defeated bodies in cold cage of hate. written by wayne mockler ownership and copyright wayne mockler

Bite One What are you doing?! You know you're on a diet! Don't eat that! Bite Two OH MY GOD. That last bight could've just made another official pound Bite Three Don't think just eat! Bite Four Bites Five Bite Six Bite Seven Etcetera. Purge One What am I doing? Google said this is a mental disorder Purge Two Mental disorder or not you're still fat! Do something about it. Purge Three The acid is burning my throat... No more. Purge Four Keep going until it's all gone! Purge Five Am I ever going to be skinny? You see, They call me, "thick thighs, nice eyes." I call me, "stretch marks bigger than a kind man's heart" And... I know that when I'm skinny this will all fade. Because I know that, the girl across the room is laughing because of my fat face. And I know that, that boy is saying that he'd never date me because my fat is a disgrace. And for now... I'm not thin enough Not pretty enough Not light enough Not bright enough But every time I purge I'm closer to being perfect enough
