"cabins" poems
There's strange noises round these parts Tales of zombies too Haunted cabins, ghostly sights All sorts of witches brew We all laugh when we hear stories Stories that we know aren't true There's a drink that folks all know And it ain't called witches brew There ain't no redneck zombies That I guarantee To make a redneck zombie you need the recipe A shot or two of good old jack and a shot of grandpa's lightning that's a redneck zombie son Drink two and it gets frightening moving lights out in the wood strange visions on the beach swamp gas, that's what I would say redneck zombies....that's a reach tourist folk see things a plenty they believe all of our tales like the one about that boy Ahab going chasing that white whale There ain't no redneck zombies That I guarantee To make a redneck zombie you need the recipe A shot or two of good old jack and a shot of grandpa's lightning that's a redneck zombie son Drink two and it gets frightening if there was such a thing as zombies wandering round out here i'd figure it was just my kin folk after a case or two of beer zombies like to eat folks brains and tear them all apart now to a redneck, that there's work and rednecks aren't that smart There ain't no redneck zombies That I guarantee To make a redneck zombie you need the recipe A shot or two of good old jack and a shot of grandpa's lightning that's a redneck zombie son Drink two and it gets frightening

Look in the mirror Look at the clock Look at the time It never has stopped It only goes forward It's a one way walk See how you have been growing You ask yourself, "where have the days been going?" Time can only progress Yes, the river of life is always flowing We lived cabins And castles and caves We came from Adam and eve We evolved from apes From Socrates and Homer To Napoleon and Alexander the Great The minds that desired knowing And the enlightened ones glowing People can only advance Yes the river of life is always flowing Revolutions and rebellions Riots and revolts Great discoveries A key, a kite and a lightning bolt Great writings and inventions Innovations from inspiring jolts Improvement was showing To the future the world was going Humanity only began to develop Yes the river of life is always flowing Religions and sciences Economics and politics Television and radio Monarchies and dictatorships Tanks and machine guns Atomic bombs and battle ships We went from arrow shooting and spear throwing The muskets needed reloading To nuclear weapons Yes the river of life is always flowing Exploring new lands To find the world wasn't flat To find silver and gold And buried artifacts To establish new territories And expand the map The searching ship kept rowing As civilization went on growing Accomplishments of the past Yes the river of life is always flowing Boats and rail roads Fair trade and industry World wide markets Over land and sea To keep out nations going And stablize the economy But now every country has money that they're owing And the land that they're owning Is has evolved Yes the river of life is always flowing Social reforms Counter cultures fight They protest strongly For equal civil rights The world's in constant change Every day turns into night Every opening has its closing And then it comes back again As long as there's someone hoping Yes the river of life is always flowing We put people into space We have fought for equality Created a world from nothing And advanced technology We've struggle to go to where we are And continue to go strongly The opportunities fate has been bestowing We look forward to see what is ahead The memories and mysteries the hourglass is holding Yes the river of life is always flowing

The River of Life is Always Flowing
Look in the mirror Look at the clock Look at the time It never has stopped It only goes forward It's a one way walk See how you have been growing You ask yourself, "where have the days been going?"

In the sky there is nobody asleep. Nobody, nobody. Nobody is asleep. The creatures of the moon sniff and prowl about their cabins. The living iguanas will come and bite the men who do not dream, and the man who rushes out with his spirit broken will meet on the street corner the unbelievable alligator quiet beneath the tender protest of the stars. Nobody is asleep on earth. Nobody, nobody. Nobody is asleep. In the graveyard far off there is a corpse who has moaned for three years because of a dry countryside on his knee; and that boy they buried this morning cried so much it was necessary to call out the dogs to keep him quiet. Life is not a dream. Careful! Careful! Careful! We fall down the stairs in order to eat the moist earth or we climb to the knife edge of the snow with the voices of the dead dahlias. But forgetfulness does not exist, dreams to not exist; flesh exists. Kisses tie our mouths in a thicket of new veins, and whoever his pain pains will feel that pain forever and whoever is afraid of death will carry it on his shoulers. On day the horses will live in the saloons and the enraged ants will throw themselves on the yellow skies that take refuge in the eyes of cows. Another day we will watch the preserved butterflies rise from the dead and still walking through a country of gray sponges and silent boats we will watch our ring flash and roses spring from our tongue. Careful! Be careful! Be careful! The men who still have marks of the claw and the thunderstorm, and that boy who cries because he has never heard of the invention of the bridge, or that dead man who possess now only his head and a shoe, we must carry them to the wall where the iguanas and the snakes are waiting, where the bear's teeth are waiting, where the mummified hand of the boy is waiting, and the hair of the camel stands on end with a violent blue shudder. Nobody is sleeping in the sky. Nobody, nobody. Nobody is sleeping. If someone does close his eyes, a whip, boys, a whip! Let there be a landscape of open eyes and bitter wounds on fire. No one is sleeping in this world. No one, no one. I have said it before. No one is sleeping. But if someone grows too much moss on his temples during the night, open the stage trapdoors so he can see in the moonlight the lying goblets, and the poison, and the skull of the theatres.

City That Does Not Sleep

Pomegranate dawn, lay me down Ivory moon, call to me See that I may never touch the ground Float me by on symphonies Leave me in the haze, the cool of day Wake me in awe on summer nights Chase demons away with all your shades Make darkness flee in the moonight Keeping dream and dreamer both alive Silently fading away Ivory painted moon seizing my nights Pomegranate dawns embrace my day Sky studded with stars, burning now Jay's egg blue painted morn Falling to my face, dust on my brow Waiting days ache to be born Never will I again cry alone Ever still will you carry me Seeking just to rest in a place called home Cabins by the crashing sea Risen in the day to warm sunlight Rocked to sleep by sheets of eve As the ivory moon bid me, sleep tight And pomegranate dawn awakens me...

Pomegranate Dawn
The air is a mill of hooks -- Questions without answer, Glittering and drunk as flies Whose kiss stings unbearably In the fetid wombs of black air under pines in summer. I remember The dead smell of sun on wood cabins, The stiffness of sails, the long salt winding sheets. Once one has seen God, what is the remedy? Once one has been seized up Without a part left over, Not a toe, not a finger, and used, Used utterly, in the sun's conflagration, the stains That lengthen from ancient cathedrals What is the remedy? The pill of the Communion tablet, The walking beside still water? Memory? Or picking up the bright pieces Of Christ in the faces of rodents, The tame flower-nibblers, the ones Whose hopes are so low they are comfortable -- The humpback in his small, washed cottage Under the spokes of the clematis. Is there no great love, only tenderness? Does the sea Remember the walker upon it? Meaning leaks from the molecules. The chimneys of the city breathe, the window sweats, The children leap in their cots. The sun blooms, it is a geranium. The heart has not stopped.

Diaspora From the Greek When I heard the word I felt it And I looked it up In my old red dictionary I could have used the Internet, I suppose But I like to run my forefinger down pages Of words I read the definition And I felt it Oh Oh We are diaspora. Am I using it correctly? We are a diaspora. Diaspora From the Greek From the green valley of Ottawa From Scotland From Ireland on wooden boats From the French village thirteen children From the mines in the North From Poland and from Germany From the churches and From the Blueberry patches From the Island Manitoulin From the dark lake Kagawong From Kinburn and Arnprior From Markstay and from Sudbury From Waterloo From Kitchener, Michener From the Suburbs Oh From the Suburbs From the red bricks, red currants And geraniums From green island cabins From the desert Oh From the desert From the potholes and pipes From the salty wind Cracked Caspian Sea From the middle of the east of nowhere. From the mountains Oh From the mountains From the crystal water fountains From the tram bells On the cobblestone streets From the torrents of the Rhein From the white cross Oh From the white cross On the green hill From the river Laurence From the French and from the English Plains of Abraham We are diaspora We are a diaspora Diaspora From the Greek How did it end up here on my tongue? It is diaspora. It is a diaspora Diaspora is a diaspora And I wonder if it misses its other pieces The way that I miss mine Ours There is no Roping us back together now There is no Home to go back to There is no Point of meeting Of reunion No White steeple in our old town No Yellow slide in our backyard No Old folks on an old farm No Walled house on a hill No Luzernerring 93 No Familiar riverwater There is no Ancient Greek anymore Diaspora Only fragments of fragments Of roots of stems of words In different dialects There is no Place for you to belong, Diaspora You’ve been sliced to pieces And scattered Into the wind But When people ask you Where you are from You say simply From the Greek Oh From the Greek And When people ask me Where I am from I say simply From the diaspora.

The crew of ****** all hide their own secret loneliness. At every port the deserted dance halls beckon, and there they dance with familiar ghosts. At twelve midnight sharp the spirits disappear along with the tuxedoed band and the music dies leaving red white and blue tinsel, miniature plastic flags, and balloons that glide and bounce to a solitary, prolonged note. The sailors cease spinning and their arms drop to their sides. They drown in bottles of *** in search of solace. They rarely find barely a taste. And so, in frustration they fight and draw first and last bloods. Now, in scuffed shoes and torn clothes, with damaged pride, they stagger arm in arm back to ship. The water laps and licks it’s tongue like a cat at cream and the crew whisper breath rings in the chilly air. Master Chief Petty matron mother waits on deck, rolling pin in hand, kicking backsides into cabins. The ship bobs and dips in rhythm to sailors heaving snoring chests, and there they sleep, fly catching open mouthed, hugging their pillows in desert island dreams. Copyright Marc Hawkins 2009

Long hikes and motorbikes, Cabins, starlight, kids and tykes, Parents, and mommies soon to be, Gather at the greenest tree. Spirits in ******* are unbound, Where the silence drowns the sound; The victories that love has won. We are never far when we are one.

Mary Rose, the mighty sailing sea vessel glided majestically across the waves She had robustly and bravely sailed the briny waves for many a night and day With the ocean's heaving gusting squalls blowing off proud stern and mast Sailing victorious and proud - her billowing white sails were cast The calm, liquid waters of the sea flowed quietly purple for now- Unaware of the coming storm that would beat furious against her bow Her alabaster sails whipped violent and furious in the oncoming storm Impending doom was yelling its cries while the ****** went unwarned Down below, inside their cabins the ****** peacefully slept Wrapped in the secure watch that their gallant captain kept The oceans black, boiling waves beat savage against starboard and port As Captain Noe standing fearless - at first quake, did not the storm report The old wooden beams of the Mary Rose began to restlessly moan and creak While the blackened roaring, rolling waves beat furious against her feet Her alabaster sails rose proud- beating mighty against wailing squalls and gusts While deep inside the bow in bunks, the sleeping ****** ****** Suddenly...they heard the captain's distraught voice cry out When the ****** heard his voice -they heard fear without doubt “Awake, all of ye’ ”, Captain Noe forcefully roared “Alive! Awake… all ye’ ****** come quickly up on board”! The savage spirit of the sea reigned fierce with rage and fear While the brave captain fought - loyal ****** brought up the rear They courageously fought together - not silenced by the eye of death As the sea raged violently against them with its brutal, menacing breath To save their mighty Mary Rose, they’d dip their very souls in blood Leaving themselves merciless against this drunken, mighty flood With plank and bow standing fierce between them and their fate The raging ocean’s fierce, blackened waves - the sea they could not hate The morning brought the warming sun which rose broad above the waves The winds had tamed their violent voice against captain and ****** brave With unshakable courage and seaman’s wit not once were spirits broke Each cheered his mate and captain strong as they fought with steady stroke Their peril fought in days of danger and night filled with pain Their manly courage did not wane - their fight was not in vain For all the courageous ****** and their brave Captain Noe Joined together in hand and spirit to save...their proud Mary Rose

*water streams from between your eyes puddles fill the cracked streets my rage is pure like angel fire a love which nothing can defile she wets the world with her dampness thunder cries out for warmth her shivering shoulders bare witness to the sun and what was lost the windy day kept me inside holding onto this fright feelings pressed against my chest i tremble with delight youthful arrows morning sparrows stargazing at night just because you can do it doesn’t mean that its right streets of cobblestones are being shown the pavement is our throne home against the cement dilapidated boxcars and temples of respect remove your shoes before you enter yurts and cabins made of clay barely resurrect sustainable ways are coming back give thanks and respect to ancestors who deserve our praise for they never did neglect their duties to the earthly mother her love they sought to honor children of the wilderness at home beneath her cover canopies of trees line feline forests with her love*

My happiness comes from me ask my friends and the world around me blossoming in a spark of crimsony red moon glow on forethought walks through the shivering lenses of percept that trickle down our backs as we enlighten ourselves with all that is in between and unseen. It is as if our aged limbs were caressed into a symphony of leverages and their shapes. We cannot be cadavers. We are arms of cheer and picture jasper, adolescent googled-eyes gathers with virile fixations on our partners as we prey on the map lines subtly employing our eyes as we dart across each dimple, pimple, freckle, and gently worn rash lines. These are the dogs of our incessant barking. Idling for sincerity, as actors swiftly press Winter into us while our limbless diction presents our inadequacy Rd upon our ugly and I'll-tempered neighborly-things. Aliens of the afternoon, first floor agony and karmas standard for living in a reduced climate One. Wearing down the hooves, undulates from Pepperdine mark trails with breaking breads and twigs and bones. Undulates from another world, behoofed and bemoved, curdling their sappy reselling a of drat and unkindly remarks. And we have begun to wonder when evolution will kick-in. When will the military come for them at the doors and vacate is all from our nontoxic lie-shrouded apartment complexes, condos, and cabins. Slaughter numbers of letters and integers right out in the street; loonies in the town square and the moose are crying.

I wrote this a few months ago on a flight across the country. Not my best, but it healed me a bit Thinking about you doesn't get any easier and even at 30,000 feet in the air the feeling you left with me somehow manages to suffocate me, through twenty different layers of clouds and pressurized cabins. The lady sitting next to me has a sad look in her eyes. Maybe she is suffering through some kind of heartbreak herself, just like me. She orders her coffee black. I want to reach out to her and hold her hand, but it's probably too cold, and she might **** away from my touch, the same way you did that day when you left. She smells like cheap perfume and the lies of lovers she has tried too hard to forget. I wonder about jumping right out this plane right now. I wonder if I'd land with a splat and if a nice young man would arrive with a broom and pan, sweep me up, and discard me into the nearest trash can, like they do in the carnivals. Would I regret it the moment my feet left the edge of the plane? Would I get the same feeling in my stomach on the way down as I did when we were together? I think I'd only jump if I were holding your hand. I wrote “I miss you” in a too big sharpie across the front of my notebook on Tuesday. Colored it in blue because there’s not enough green to feel much else when you're not around. Two hours to go and my entire life is falling down around me. (Leave me be leave me be leave me be.) I want to be the space that water fills between your toes and hidden among the things that keeps your rusty heart beating. But I can't be the oil that makes your wheels keep spinning. At best I'm the hot hot steam that keeps your hands from burning and bleeding. You don't want me and you never fell in love with me. You fell in love with words I learned to recite and looks I knew when to give and this carcinogenic smile. Apologies don't sound as true as they should and I never really say what I mean. I'm just as ****** up as you. And these are words carved into walls of abandoned asylums and painted on canvases with blood in lieu of paint and this is the only way I know how to say that I know what you're going through and what you've been through and how sorry I am that I can't be everything you expected of me.

At best I'm the hot hot steam that keeps your hands from burning and bleeding. You don't want me and you never fell in love with me. You fell in love with words I learned to recite and looks I knew when to give and this carcinogenic smile. Apologies don't sound as true as they should and I never really say what I mean. I'm just as ****** up as you. And these are words carved into walls of abandoned asylums and painted on canvases with blood in lieu of paint and this is the only way I know how to say that I know what you're going through and what you've been through and how sorry I am that I can't be everything you expected of me.

Mountain Roads
A wave of people who all suffer from depression's undercurrent leans over me until gravity pushes the water over my head and I drown in the depressive maelstrom of lost, distraught family members with the same weak psyche which I suffer from. Only the dollhouse owners can live a picture-perfect life where everything is antibacterial and anti-depressant while we get jammed between the walls until we can no longer scream for help and tears become our only weapon. The moisture from the rivers that sourced in our eyes penetrates into the walls and seeps into the floor, then mold and mildew infects this otherwise perfect dollhouse. I'd rather drown in depression than live in this false cardboard house with drawers and cabins filled with pills and where no one knows who takes what and why there is constantly bought more and more even when the pills tumble out of all the doors. I'm waiting for a tsunami, which can split the dollhouse that I call my home, hoping the walls detaches and the pills flush away.

An ocean of depression
All Yvonne asked for was Superman, Ice cream style with more blue than yellow all her friends would think she ate a Smurf. Maybe some sprinkles to hide and seek in sugar log cabins. But that’s never what she got. Instead you left her lost at sea. She got too much love; if that’s what you call it. Too many nights hoping you would rescue a drowning corpse. If she could go back in time, protect herself, she’d chop off his **** and shove it up your ***

Pig tails and Teddy bears
Skin pinked in the August heat Thick with sunlight, we sit on the patio One ordered a Manhattan Another that local piss-in-a glass pilsner The typical name dropping Of “priest so and so” and “The one I pretend to be my close friend but we never talk about anything real” Place cards adhered to locations Cabins, sports and Disney vacations Dreams that make up the American childhood Those women are always a little louder Those raging extroverts Social club doorkeepers Definers of the status quo If they never had kids Who would they be? In their six bedroom homes and Forgotten memories Of why they said “yes” Talk faster! The topic just veered to the left Tacky dangling earrings shout— "Follow the prescription of happiness I can’t hear you and I don’t want to!" That sun just kept beating down Nodding and smiling at vacuous words I started reciting song lyrics inside of my head

snowfall in alaska
I sat hard-pressed against the plastic seat on the Metro, green line to Branch Ave, feeling the heat of all the dozens of bodies that surrounded me, 5:30 PM and everyone making headway for home after a long, hot work day. The swampy humidity clung to my arms like sticky tack. I wiped my brow with the sleeve of my blazer and listened to some 90s R & B on my iPod as I c o u n t e d d o w n the exits till I could free               myself      from the suffocating crowd. It was no day that was even remotely extraordinary, no life-changing series of events, no incredible people I had met; nope, just commuting back to the SE quadrant of town as I had every day that summer. I looked up and took a snapshot with my mind; I remember exactly how that sliver of time felt to me, how it looked, smelledsoundedtasted as I realized my days in D.C. had begun to feel like the norm, that I had grown accustomed to the claustrophobic train cabins, the repetitive street names, and 10% sales tax. So suddenly there was this catastrophic timeturning momentous magnanimous monumental magic of the most mundanely minuscule moment, as ordinary crawled up my veins and absorbed me in it. Somehow squeezed.in.between the rush-hour, the annoyance, impatience, and near-suffocation felt like home.

Navy Yard-Ball Park
The dark silently crawled into the dimly lit corridors, the cabins, and my boss's ***** mind. The cold breeze gently and mercilessly caressed my shoulders, and my boss my ******* I shivered from my head till toe, while his greedy gaze scanned me, from my head till toe. The off-key beeping of a distant computer troubled my ears, and so did his hungry voice. My incomplete files presented a pretty sight in front of his hands piercing through my self esteem. Per his routine, he'd played all what he wanted with my body, and left it there to perish. Next day in the meeting he tells his employees, "this office is your temple." "Sure," I whisper.
