"blackboards" poems
When I enter,
the black holes of myself,
they are located,
transcribed upon the
blackboards of our
unified bodies,
the magnification of energy
transversed,
principles demonstrated
by the unconcluding
conclusion of the expansion of
creation,
the rebirthing of one universe
never ending
When I enter a woman,
the discovery sought,
the definitional needed,
the proofs equational,
the factors constant,
not the variable
truths,
the demonstrations positive,
the constants of the universe,
combinational, all within,
a single point glistening
to gentle comfort this
knowledge of my wasting,
the foresight of my limitations
from the day of birth
my matter,
matters,
my energy
neither destroyed or created,
illimitable,
my decline inevitable
and yet!
cannot alter my atomic structure.
my future guaranteed,
my inner light,
traveling so fast,
it has yet
to arrive
When I enter a woman,
the laws of physics
become special theories
of relativity,
we are motion in time,
force and energy
nucleotides rawest refined,
elemental and particle nuclear,
packets of light
exclaimed
When I enter a woman,
organic, chemistry,
interdisciplinary
my body and its life force
shaped as
electric current transceivers
crossing galaxies,
there can be no deceivers,
there but and only
the birthing of heat,
a byproduct of
interjection, conjunction
creation of creativity
<>
she is my proof
long after the
log normal of my nerves,
now parceled to the
invisible of an oscillating
log natural,
fertilizes the sea grasses
that so intoxicate,
flying, carried,
by the invisiblity of the winds,
all-where I have chosen
as my shifting shape,
when this container
leaks and crack'd,
in sentry reentry orbit,
to
the nearest garbage strewn
construction-dead
lot
When I enter a woman,
physics far beyond
the commonplace,
physical transition
to knowledge
of life ever after
death and fear are
time sensitized
passing notions,
crushed by the
consolation of physics,
the eternality
of a time
once begun,
cannot end,
and therefore
this,
my one theory of everything,
the God
I worship,
of course,
he is invisible!

In the 2nd grade
a puppy love
crush on the
teacher steeped
deep in me
to my delight
her clear eyes
recognized the
promise of a
chubby boy
in all of his
quaint simplicity
her gentle
voice, friendly
and firm, filled
with caring instruction
the giddy class
attuned to her fresh
brunette bouffant, bunned
and perfectly coiffed,
speaking style and
youthful whimsy,
not a strand of hair
out of place
her svelte figure
flowed through
classroom isles
filling the space
with scented graces
of prescient carnations
that afternoon she
was abruptly called
from the class
when she returned
our beautiful princess
was sobbing
she concealed her face
then turned her back
on the class, crying
in a corner to dismayed
blushing blackboards
regaining composure
she turned
exposing her tear
stained cheeks
and dissheveled hair
to an unsettled class
“the President
hurt his back” she
announced. “He’s
in the hospital.”
Whoa… I thought,
the President hurt
his back. That's
terrible I surmised.
our beloved teacher
dismissed us
and resumed her
tearful grief
when I arrived home
my mother was
sitting on the bed
weeping. “President
Kennedy is dead”
she blared.
my mother’s rumpled
housecoat and
tousled hair flattered
her flowing tears and
anguished sobs.
the tears of women
marked the end
of many puppy loves that day

The exception makes the rule
so they say
except the rule is never fair
write it down a thousand times
in chalk
or ink
or blood
doesn't change the justice of it
or more often lack thereof

It is black always black,
It is black in the light,
Tis void you and I black,
****** deeply void,
Alone in black am I
Shadows creak loomed the darkness,
Eyes bleed crimson slithers,
Mind filled with pungent aromas,
Rotting flesh smells I
Reaching twisting they move of the night,
Corridors screaming, laughing, buzzing,
Feeding, ticking thoughts thinks I
Doors bang and lock clutched temples,
pain stabbing fire,
blood pounds and pours dead are they,
ebony risers of the night
Shush shush sweeping blood slippers slide,
Shush shush sounds the old hag with broom
Pouring bloods,
tis perfumed I smell
Clanging keys black rooms screaming,
iced breath swirls, old cold hand brushes by,
Ever cold is water here electric red I see,
blood red nails screaming blackboards,
Screeching Seething and howling pierced am I
Writhing pain restrained jacket and I,
— Beseech me oh dead in white,
Locked away bathed in blood lonely heart,
Polished broken window moon eyes,
Mortal hell chained to die—

the love and romance.
the years lit by artillery.
the wars.
the men did these wild things. these great grand expressions of love and survival.
they’d damage themselves, bleed while moving furniture.
wood splinters better painted red wet warmth.
they’d notch together plum-cut bricks into
crenulations or walls or cathedrals.
home built.
the women: of an ancient woven fiber
and/or old energy, they’d battle serpents into dark and drunk loneliness.
she conspired for a happy life.
death by the meadow.
old woman remembering young woman and
young man,
now old man approaching.
the world forgets, but we will always have eachother.
remember us youths in proto-revolution.
we didn’t believe in what we did.
we lived a lie.
all america.
dreaming and soap opera.
daytime television blastulas.
the wars are fought early, and fierce.
the wars are won and lost on highschool dancefloors.
highschool blacktops. blackboards. breathy
kissing.
spectral codes of light.
and we bloom outward into livelihoods and
incomes.
timelines.
trenches to crawl from shell-shocked and screaming ****** ******
or not.
but yes -
the world is built on blisters and scar tissue.
nothing is untouched.
nothing is unwounded.

Her eyes on my skin.
Burning through layers of flesh and bone with each glare and bat.
Hot tea whistling into steamy rooms.
Creeping around the corners.
Blowing fresh orange citrus into my lungs.
Warming my blood.
Boiling hers.
Rustled sheets lying on the floor.
Cold bed.
Hardening pillows.
Morning dew running dry.
Cigarettes and coffee that used to keep me company.
Lost in your company for me.
Cold chills up my spine.
Screeching like nails against blackboards.
I lean in.
Stealing a kiss before you turn away.
It was one.
This time I didn't bother going in for two.
Or four.
Or ten.
You didn't bother stopping the faucet from dripping.
You didn't twitch with uneasiness.
I didn't go mad by the oddness of our love between warm lips.
My body pulls away.
Rejecting your hand from mine.
And every little thing I used to love about you
Bothers me somehow.
Our dreams.
Wrapped in paper.
Covered in white.
And laid out in real stars.
Tied together with a silver ribbon of light.
Now dripping in oil and black paint.
Ripped up.
Thrown into the flames.
Streaming ablaze like moths.
Like powdered butterfly wings in hot coal.
Black smoke.
Filing away at my outsides.
Pulling out pieces of hair you used to run your fingers through gently as I cried.
Spreading oceans to your lap.
Swimming with the creatures of the dry ground.
Floating on the waves until we drown.
Falling to the floor in heaps of spirals.
Falling to my knees.
Feeling the wet mud beneath me.
Pulling me under slowly.
The soft rays once glistening on our bed.
Caressing your face.
Your sweet lips gently on my thighs at Night when your bare body calls to mine.
Turned to darkness.
To the space in-between.
To the lies resting into my ribs.
Contracting inside.
Ripping away at everything living.
Keeping my chest afloat inside of me.
I kiss your feet for what seems like forever.
With one last breath escaping my lips as the water boils over.
As the ashes fill the air of crisp moth wings once before.
As the last song from the last bluejay blisters out.
Desolé mon amour.
Kicking up.
Pushing me under the bottom sole of her feet.
Sinking in deep.
With only a second of suffocation.
I fall through.
Out of the childish dream.
Of forever love.
Into reality once more.

i can't see past sanity
...tick tock
the door
lights out
creaking floorboards
of dreams striped and contorted
you, whirling away
the night
calling the cuckold clock
...tick tock
the forest of eyes
that winter in me
the tracks in the snow
bitten off by white waters
...tick tock
i can't see past ignorance
...tick tock
the open blindness to chances
unrelenting sparks
of hope faded in memory
...tick tock
in distance
torn away
claws scratching canvas
screeching blackboards
hands over my ears
to make it through
to make it
...tick tock
stop.

My name around the house is Mr. mushroom
Cause I’m always cooking mushrooms
Salt and pepper mushrooms
Squealing in a pan
You’re vegan and you don’t like mushrooms?
I don’t understand
Looking like a lizard, chewing on stringy hallucinogens
Or classy and tall floating in your soup
Or rich like truffles
Or frilly like flowers that kiss each other
Growing in bark, growing on trees
Growing in fields with no strawberries.
I met a mushroom picker one time, real nice guy
Was his trade, did it all day.
Squealing in a pan
My sister said when it comes to cooking mushrooms, I’m the man.
Don’t get all imaginative on me, and start breading and crumbing
Just doesn’t do.
Just the nice robust standard cups, at your local super market, or sometimes those portabellos
Get them sweating like scalps in the heat!
Torture them with black pepper, fingernails on blackboards!
Then sunburn them in sea salt, crisping around the eyes like a vagabond child
Don’t let ‘em escape!
Mushrooms clouds, over the reef, think about them in your sleep.
Serve with rice or toast with a coffee or tea,
It’s Mushrooms for me.

Looking at blank faces,
they stare at blackboards,
because they have to,
or else they get a slap on the wrist.
Walking through the halls,
the all move, shambling along,
like zombies following a piece of meat,
just going from one spot to another.
People talk,
and rumors spread,
through quiet whispers,
and small notes.
You get up early in the morning,
and take the long drive there,
and as you walk in, you see,
"welcome back!" to mindlessness.

Pale horse
From dusk til dawn ridden
Not reading constellations
Stars from our eyes
How many moons?
but still riding on
From dusk til dawn
Destination unknown
Under the black reaching night
No one tells us to sleep
There is no end
Only the miracle
The sun will rise
Stars from our eyes
How many moons?
My empty hands are growling hounds
From dusk til dawn
Our hands
Cities and instruments
Blackboards
Sidewalks
Gardens where flowers grow
And I know if I can make it now
Highways and silver mines
Dawn comes
Bird song
And I look to the west
The miracle of morning
Our hands
Sun up to sun down
The harvest in the fields
The glory in our labor
The consecrated charge
The duty that is our land and our faith
Our hands
Held open to the sky
Competent and capable
To build
To protect as is our chore
To eat
We feast and we repent
Wake up to a new day
And celebrate our blessings

Oh my friend
I feel the weight of you in my pocket
as I walk these endless halls
with careless faces
that spit words without waiting to see where they fall
where my mind wanders from the blackboards
and longs for relief from my suffering
you tickle me with your edge
prodding and poking until
I raise my hand
ask to be excused
walk the same hall
enter that room
and succumb
Oh my friend
who comforts me on long nights
when the dark seems to press in from all sides
you howl my name from the night
stand
begging for another bite
pleading to feel yourself between my shaking fingertips
and I oblige
Oh my friend
with me always
you keep me sane
and when you ask for another scar?
You compel me to listen.
So I obey
Oh my friend
who screams for blood on the red tiled floor
yearning for more, always more
keening a song if I try to stay away
who always comes back with a vengeance
Oh my friend
take another piece of me
take another bite
another drop
make a river with my offering
s
make a tsunami with my lifeblood
Oh my friend
you are calling again now
I can hear you screeching from the drawer
I hold the key in trembling hands
I wish I was stronger but I am not
my body is proof enough of that
torn by your constant needs
marred by your incessant thirst
ravaged by your sharp tongue
scarred by your edge
tear my sides
my wrist
my legs
my heart
take me
Oh my friend
I am not strong enough to resist you
I will succumb once again to your call
to your will
to your lust
take me as you will my friend
take every part of me
leave nothing unscathed
every droop of blood upon your edge
Take me my friend
leave me nothing
my friend
Oh my friend
my friend
take me

words spoken while running singing lying
or telling the truth
come in volumes lengths widths and of
a small scope
located in books on bookstore shelves
wondering or humming to see if will sell
or going to the thrift store to sell
words come love blackboards teachers
reaching up to spell a bunch on a list
for next weeks spelling test
wondering over to a museum to
watch a spelling bee
for students in grades one through three
the winner of each grade gets a brand
new dictionary and a spelling book
Words written by others in books
teach us how think see and watch
the send a book list home
for a test before the school year is out
words help us to understand what is happening
around this world
while leaving us human beings to
step back in wonder
since our children continue to make us
wonder at the words each one learns.

Before, i was scared
Of talking
Of speaking
As if the words i utter
Were acid pouring from my lips
Toxic to anyone would here them
So i stayed silent
Subservient
To other people
But words , words dont just give up
They want to heard
To be listened
Some words go out
But i always take them back
Why would people want to hear
Words that arent even good?
Arent even right?
But they need to be let out.
So i wrote them down
On napkins, on blackboards
On the sides of my textbooks
On anywhere that can be written with ink or lead or chalk or anything that can be written down
So words filled the sides
Filling them with nouns
Adjectives , similes, metaphors,
, until the sides couldnt take it anymore
They need a blank page
But u wrote on top of the words , on the right, the left
So the words overflowed
But not as i thought
They flowed on the other side
On the front page
I tried to stop them ,
Prevent them from going there
Because someelses words were already there
But i couldnt
when they hit , they didnt clash
fight , didnt
But they greeted each other like they were old friends
I was behind them
The words
And someone was behind them
There was a person
I said sorry, apologized
But he just smiled, and said , i was waiting for you to make that mistake

you never know what
the next day will bring,
but, like today,
i became disappointed
and the amount
of letters i received
by mail...
in the past 10 years,
i received only bank
statements,
alumni magazines from
edinburgh and u.c.l.,
oh, and those two
letters (+ a book) from a
girl from warsaw...
but today?
i look at the counter
and see this letter for me...
but that's the odd thing,
i've never had contact
with harrington & byrne:
hanover sq., mayfair
(W1S 1BN)...
the **** do they want
i thought while opening
the envelope...
ah... i knew it, ********
buying the 1840
penny black postage stamp
with queen victoria aged 15,
for a "mere"
one hundred and twenty
quid...
but that's good...
they also sell gold & silver
coins...
i'll phone them up
or write to them, and ask them
about my collection
of foreign currency -
you never know,
those polish banknotes
from the inflation period
prior to the collapse of the soviet
union might be worth
something akin
to the excess of zeroes written
on them;
**** you think i'd be making
this up googling the brand?
like i said...
**** me... my email account is
even better...
i have
about a total of 20 emails
in it...
either i'm covert,
or invisible,
or "worse" still,
a persona non grata;
mmm... bliss!
saying that: it's nice to receive
the most random letters...
ACTUAL PAPER!
sooner or later, you'll get perverts
roaming the streets,
with a sheet of paper
in their hand... rubbing it between
their fingers...
as you'll get those perverts
sniffing ink-cartridge, once loaded
into fountain-pens -
can you remember the days
of chalk & blackboards?
