"cellular" poems
When I can't take the silence anymore I type my little message, send it to your cellular device "Goodnight, sleep well." When I really want to say "I love you, sweet dreams." And a few minutes later you say, "Oh yeah. Good dreams." And I want to kiss you, smile at you, eat frozen raspberry yogurt with you, and I can't so I guess I'll go to sleep.

Don't know how to tell you this But your starting to become just words on my cell phone screen Trying to convince me you love me Even if you really do My cellular connection is dropping so your messages is not getting through And don't think It's you It just hard to feel words on a screen Your love is plausible It just might be true But I've succumbed to this distance Can't feel the real you If I met you in real life I probably wouldn't know Looking at a stranger looking back at me Almost 2 years of unheard words This long on a cell phone To much of anything kills you And right now it's my cell phone screen

Cell phone
For all the earth in the world, For the varied chunks, shapes and shades of brown, keep an eye out! There, somewhere in the dirt, Next to the writhing worm, Gasping at pockets of sunlight, Green life ruminates, and pushes, pushes up, through the soil, intrepid, unlikely.   It abandons its old husk house, what little safety it knew, and, daring to dream, thrusts itself into existence, and feels the day's cooling kiss, a multi cellular masterpiece, when yesterday, there was only dirt.

Dirt
When Technology died, some of us merely shrugged and Tried to go back to before... Only it wasn't the same... So many hard-wirings gone, So many places where we used to go, So many thoughts we used to know, Forgotten in an ethereal swirl... Internetted and forgotten. Power plants done, and no more juice To feed along the sagging wires. Once the Internet went down, (Without so much as a diminishing blip Of dying light (cathodes were gone)), Ah, Lord, we missed the ethereal glow... Screens now dead and flat, Unable even to reminisce The comfort-glow of former irritants, The fuzziness 0f electronic snow.... And telephones! My Lord! To think of how we used to talk! Electronic prayers, each other we implored... So much connected, We forgot the depths of face to face, Now cellular paperweights lie dormant, Longing for at least a little life, Reminding us those days are gone. We pass our little news Word of mouth now, Word of mouth to ear, Only if the ones We want to know are near.

Home is where the heart is but the heart is a broken place.           I hate how loud I must barely scream so that people can see my face:           I am dark and this is a time of shadows. Sometimes what worries me most about us is not that we are forced to carry guns and **** our own mothers is not that we are pulled from our classrooms back into our homesteads is not that some of our leaders feast while we become skinny UNICEF models is not that if only one molecule of my DNA was different I could have lived without ever knowing how to read even a single word is not even that the smallest of things can wipe out entire villages in an instant- mosquitoes, viruses, locusts; slave ships. Sometimes what worries me most is that my headphones carry more sounds of strange places than my heart will ever know-  that not even my brothers and sisters sold off to those strange places ever knew, as their children are hung off the trees of Jim Crow and we call them strange fruit, and that maybe our first president didn't marry a white lady; the white lady might have married him. Sometimes what worries me most is that for just over eighteen years of seeing thinking feeling breathing being I couldn't have ever told you what Africa meant to me past the occasional 'dumela' to my mother's mother but never, never did I know or now know or will know my mother's mother's mother's mother's mother because she can't fit inside the cellular America that I hold in my palm. And this is why they call us lost. Because home is where the heart is but the heart is a broken place. One time, my five year old cousin said matter-of-factly that black is ugly. In my Primary School days everyone said I should stay out of the sun lest I get darker. But I'm here to tell you that I don't even bother wearing a sun-hat anymore. I'm here to tell you that I don't cut my hair because to do so would feel like oppression. I'm here to tell you how vivid and lovely and blessed I do feel to have been born in broken-heart home because at least it has soul. I'm here to tell you that, yes, I do remember that time when the whole world knew what to do about ****** and Bin Laden but never could get round to talking about Cecil John Rhodes. I'm here to tell you that Today, that conversation starts with a toppled statue. Today, that conversation starts with my voice. Today, this conversation starts with a poem which proclaims- child I am, child I am, child I am, child I am, child I am- that this is my day. This is my day. The Day of the African Child.

Shadows dance on subway walls Through crowded bars and pachinko halls I came equipped for fun and play You dont have to tip but boy you pay The night runs deep when you miss the train After this trip you're never the same I fell into forbidden zones Ancient temples turned into internet shops dial for *** to her cellular telephone Step to the beat invent your own way If you can't dance you've got two left feet What's the difference let your hair down its time to play and dance the... Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no Don't dance the... Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no Down the street there's a ceremony on It's a cinch when the pink lights on till dawn Get to grips with a ancient kind of street dance Kissing cherry lips or grape or mango Do every dance but NOT the Tokyo Tango Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no Zakuza dance Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no Tokyo Tokyo Tango oh no no no D.

Tokyo Tango
It's like I'm on the dark side of the moon when you're not around. It's dark and cold Except then my imagination kicks in and there's pools of lava everywhere and it looks like they're from Minecraft See, You keep me centered. You are the light of my life But sometimes I'm afraid to talk to you because generally, light sources are hot and I'm afraid of being burned I love you with complete comittment and I haven't done that before See, I can't quite figure out how I ever lived without you in the first place Actually, I can, I took in oxygen and performed cellular respiration. See, I've been living on the dark side of the moon, Where my imagination constisted of nightmares, My daydreams were math and science And I've never really felt anything other than terror and cold and dark I love you because you showed me what light was, You pulled me across the line I didn't know was there And you showed me how to breathe again Like showing a little girl a rose or a hummingbird for the first time Now, I'm still afraid I'm going to ***** something up, And fall back into the dark Because you are the first person that has not given up on me- I've never left the shadows I always wait patiently next to the line for you to come back before I cross it, Like my dog waits for me to get home by the door. I think of all of those people who left without me, one way or another Then I think back to you and all the days you were there when I woke up I love you because it is the hardest thing that I can't figure out how to stop doing I love you because I'm not afraid of the sound of your footsteps Or your voice, calling my name I love you because you are familiar to me And I'm not quite as scared anymore

sitting here but not my insides        in a twist my organs blooming, their flower landscapes rising in my solar plexus like poetry expanding its cellular shapes into         light frequencies I need way more. I need the pulling off       and stripping down of souls I need to meet in a depth of falling I need to be pushed off the silent gates of madness into endless sea no looking back senses piqued from slightest brush of oral butter pouring on hot cream my mouth, a searing crimson wound oscillates in contraction radar pulses ripe for intense tongue exploration          aching to be filled up with your distinct flavor My essence molecular is overflowing with fluid giving me life in throbbing, raw electric vibes whipped organic, in                  rolling tides Somewhere, out there                   our volcanic impulses                           meet in steamy ebbs                      and send energyflow to a new and ancient universe, magnetic and I am a raging heaven's child       wrapped in            a tight little               tourniquet      blood pumping through these veins              my longing for                  dark stretches    of intimate caresses to soothe   the spikes       of snaking pain Give me those airwaves that let me breathe freedom into the fields of our skin Let me run like wild herds of the animal within and as I find myself hanging off my       own   edges my many-braided loops          in zigzag split, a-fray my skin rips open, parting fibers that expose my very       DNA helix swivel      undulation hips grinding into                      soul reaching in to pull out fresh rebirth from between my folds O help me to allay this tender affliction undo me, already so I lose control one little shove and I am over the cliff deep into ocean **** over spliff I am beyond ready so grind it to the hilt Give me your tender-ripped heart, spill your honeycomb milk I am here, ravenous in the pan uncooked yet ripe saliva and breath steaming my own innards flushing out strife I am piquant hot pepper ready to be broiled my blood is already                              boiling my tender meat oiled mull me over in your oral cavity like sacred wine until I drip through your bones and down your spine Just meld with me                         and flow into that light tunnel of dark time and space so I can stake out my rhythms and claim       my new sacred       place

This is my only and first ever poem that I did scribe upon my phone. A pal of mine does it, does it with ease. She makes it look easy, just like a breeze. But it's harder for me, with my thumbs of ham. I prefer full-sized keyboards, as that's who I am. Typing and retyping and then wrestling the spellchecker. If I tried this while in my car, I would surely need a wrecker! Squinting, so that I don't have to strain my eyes. To say that I'm enjoying this, would be nothing less than lies. Well there you have it, I'm finally done. I'm gonna pass on this foolishness ... and let her have all the fun.

Cellular Poetry
It seems like the cells in the spine of my body ache for another to fit against it. Perhaps not a mirror image or unflawed symmetry, but rather just a presence. Something beyond the lilt of a shadow and shallow breaths. My fingertips unconsciously linger & idle on the place on my collarbone. Left side, a kiss's width from my chin. Notice, the word, 'place?' I felt a tad bigger of a human, a bigger piece of this starry starry universe with you. Eyelashes still flutter, giving way to soft gravity. Hoping your eyes would be reflected against mine again. I am so very human with & without you.

Cellular Respiration
You should never make fun of someone else’s beliefs Where you are right now has less than a few hundred million miles of surface area You can’t even walk on 70% of it 77 years of life on average if you’re a healthy American That’s only 4,015 weeks 28,105 days on this small planet floating in a large black mass You’ve already lived about one eighth of your life Time won’t stop for you Your days on this blue marble go by and there’s nothing you can do to stop it Believing there’s something more is nothing to scoff at Do you really believe that? they say Do you really believe there is a man in the sky? Well since you asked here’s my answer I believe there is meaning in every day I believe there is a point to waking up and doing good actions I believe there is a spirit in emotion And a metaphysical being who loves me endlessly Yes I believe in something more Now it’s my turn Do you really believe that? Do you really believe this whole thing is a scientific coincidence? A cosmic collision at a specific point An explosion that created all of this Perfect atoms with electrons that bond and share Creating perfect cells with all the right organelles A process of cellular respiration that coordinates as a perfect opposite to photosynthesis All to maintain homeostasis, the so-called “wonder process” that keeps us all alive Our bodies preserve an exact temperature, the ocean an exact pH and salinity and the ground an exact resistivity To keep us all alive Scientific coincidence We are all a coincidence? What about that shooting in Newtown More than one kid took a gun to his head and what for? Why was that so tragic? The shooter could have been conducting a scientific experiment What is the basis of right and wrong derived from? What are feelings derived from? Don’t tell me it’s science Don’t tell me that it’s science that makes you cry when you get dumped Science that breaks your heart when you lose that state championship Science that lightens your spirit when you go home to your beautiful family after a long hard day It’s not science It’s your soul A soul given to you with a light side and a dark side A soul with genius thoughts and horrid sins Genius thoughts you should act on Horrid sins you may commit anyway and He will love you He will forgive you Will your precious science forgive you? I wouldn’t force anything on anyone I wouldn’t question beliefs in science had my faith in God not first been tested I’m not asking you to believe, whether you do or not won’t affect our relations I just need to explain To each his own So don’t laugh at me

You are the systole to the diastole Of my four-chambered cavity You are the pulmonary rhythmic control That fills air to my capillary. You are the Pituitary Gland That drowns my bloodstream in dopamine You take my brain to a wonderland Drunk and overdosed in Seratonin. You are the only Mitochondrion That powers all cellular activity My Cytoplasms are in motion For the sexiest Golgi Body. You are the ultimate synapse In my every granule of neuron That gives an involuntary prolapse To both my dendrite and axon.

Anatomy of Love
in the icy swirl           of deep-inhale             I reach down inside                       to darkest        heated flesh-fabric removing the clothing of my soul, feeling the layers                 slowly  undone                       the flay                         of my own fleece                           the peeling                     of my own pelt             penetrating                 through tissue,                      a journey to the                           deep heart of me,                          cut in one clean move                          and yet, like a miracle                   there is              no pain                    just magnet-connect                      beyond the cusp                             of words                               that curl from our                                              tongues                                       rising up in                       latticed affirmations                     a cleansing in frost a constant, aquamarine renewal and there is no past no future       just this prism            of crystal liquid jewels       flowing in gentle,          cellular music              straight into the strands                             of our veins and I miss you like you have gone on the long winter hunt my longing splayed out like an animal skin on                     four poles its tendons stretched beyond measure yet holding fast with a roof over my head,                     I acknowledge              my restlessness I am my own        hunter-forager,          both searching and found,                      gathering up bits                  of velocity stroking the ribbons of passion stoking the fires of my               heart and hearth protecting what is us like a lioness for we are overflowing with both strength          and tenderness               our own bones ingredients of the wild soup               of our feral union of our constant rebirth our very dna           weaving itself like heartstrings                in the rush       of        time

When the phone's at home I'm a dog Without his bark-collar on; Off the leash, Off the property, Snapping at gulls On the beach. I'm digging up old bones, Lifting a leg, Barking and chasing What crosses my path. Back at home I loose my dog brain; I'm tethered and yanked By a cellular line. The yelping, And begging Have me pining For the freedom of My inner canine.

My Inner Canine
Her Name is Woman ~for Woman~ The body replenishes, even the signs of decay that come for reparation, Positive confirmation her organism survives, alive, tree circles yet measuring time, Till a devitalizing time comes, when, this cellular process concedes degeneration Then the wondering shifts; new facts sifted; now the reckoning is not a calculation of Mortality but of her living immortality; dive to divine neath her black cloaking, reading Wounded word revelations, her own Bible stories, giving nomination to Woman-name The long shadows that her souls excavations cast, costs of her stories individual, Highwaymen robbed her with glass knives but each remaining black hole lights a story, lost, but Burning icy inviting, pulling us into book boxes inside, compost of sheets of composed white clarity Care not that each riddling reference is obliged to be oblique, inexplicit, Woman her name, all encompassing, her views codified in lines of faith, Woman, is that not a mining, and a manifest, of hidden birthing, comforting us in warm shades of Human courage 12/26/18  5:51pm

Her Name is Woman
Heart of mine you ache ****** truth-teller be silent. As I lie here alone with my spirit flailing wildly normalcy and whatshouldbe hold a pillow and smother its breath. **** opressors they are everywhere they're in marriage and picketfence but some cellular drive made me leave you for them. I want you so physically and cry out in pain as my heart begs and pleads for the one that it loves. I need you you know me my mirrortwin, completely Never have I been so naked as I am beneath your gaze I look into a liquid reflection that adores me, ether, bone. I have simple words only now they squeeze out of me bloodied bullets I wince as I extract them my gutless runner's high of a promise of security wears off now and I notice and I notice and I notice the pistol lying comfortably in my own hand. Oh! my love! I feel I'm dying. You were beauty...... On the wind now the warm, bitter wind you are gone.

Well-Bound Predator/Flame 'O UFOs/Godzilla
Electrons, making me feel like a ***** Where the heck did ADP come from? I don't even want to wonder why there suddenly is a phosphate group. How come G3P wasn't a nickname when I was a sophomore? Glycolysis was not a crisis, And I understood Miss Minnie's drawings. Now I have a book with 3D figures, But cellular respiration was not who it was four years ago, And I swear I've encountered all of them before, But where did they all go? I know their names but not who they are. Honestly, I'd rather think fermentation occurs in a bar.

Biology; Gee, Pardon Me
Sometimes we run into the arms of a terrible person just trying to escape a broken heart because loneliness has been known to taste like warm whiskey, parliament lights and the kiss of a lack luster lover who spent more time trying to lie you between the covers than they did learning to say your name out loud, you know the type. I'd be lying too if I didn't say I've been that kind, that tall glass of water promising to dampen a dry tongue which ain't got the courage to say I'm sorry, not to nobody else but to themselves. So I want apologize for not seeing or perhaps ignoring how crushed you were when I rolled you up in my arms the way hikers do sleeping bags and I held you in my lap because the car was packed and I didn't know where else to put you. You must have felt safe there thinking you were the place for me to lay my head on this road trip we call life, but little did you know had the trunk not been full I would have been sitting alone face aglow from my cellular phone texting other women, probably with a smile. I am here to tell you, you deserve better and I don't want you ever settle for anything less than a lover's embrace because comfort plus time equals unease on your mind. Worrying whether this companion of yours has become a stone tied to your heart with a heavy rope and its tugging you down into the dark blue depths filling your lungs with ice cold seawater with every last breath. I want you to be with someone you can chase for the rest of your life and when you get tired of swimming they won't leave you treading, chumming shark infested waters with blood from a poorly stitched heart but they will follow and follow until you both find that deserted island, that paradise you promised one another.

please to admit, it is true & not too deep within, a scientifically proven and a oddly curio shop fact, we are all aliens to each other, despite, the overlapping of a billion permutations of cellular related associations our individuating palettes the diversity of our genetics, other than the physics of sharing a planet, simplest put, no one can ever be exactly the same, the precisely of you or me, doppelgängers notwithstanding, our individuation, so incredibly due to our blessed diversification, that to subdivide ourselves from others, is a downward                                                            facing absolutely ridiculous ideation and thus we reveal here and (n/kn-ow) that the only reason we aliens unique nonetheless can communicate with each other, regardless of alphabet or character of idiom, (or idiots of character) is *all alien beings love to breathe and speak intuitively in a pleasing rhyme and meter,* to the ear of our overlapping physique, and that is why, every tongue is connectable, and every alpha produces its own poetic creations, 'tis poetic soundings alliterating glue, that molds this planet of aliens from a tower of babel into a shapely sphere

noooo brother, you're the alien!
You are the          liquid sugar I rub into        my skin soaked through to my pores so deep within on a cellular level as I gulp it down swish in saliva in liquid love           sounds washed through my system in textured               spin     you balance out the thickness of my insulin            you pique           hot energies into blush-fused                 crush swirling endorphins and hormones in maelstrom rush my cheeks on fire, ripe fruits drip           juice I must     breathe   in staccato to control          this   sluice   But when I get peak-high and then             slope       so            low you harmonize the taut,         slick pull of my        undertow flow It's just a matter of a few words, syll-a- bles spoken velvet-voiced              cool smooths the rough       of my      broken So please         inject it, fresh into the river of my blood      Bring it over,    hot sugar, before  I surge    into         flood

Sugar Rush
genuine so many ordinary bees in our vocab hive, workers, important, but rarely seen, some never, or rarely trotted out, no-fresh air, we just must be too too, too busy, busy had occasion to employ said titular queen word recently, a love story that strummed a chord of the randomness of good love, genuine slipped out unexpectedly, this word, a crowning modifier to a love poem herein written truly a word not used too often, perhaps because we live in a time when it is a quality rare, though much celebrated, like so much, has becomes a debated talking point but genuine is not hard to be uncovered, it has a warmth heater generator internal, a signal signal, that is hard to be disguised or mistaken but our sensitivities are dulled, easily misled, by the shouting and the latent bitterness that runs through the veins of our ordinary conversations, making it more difficult to believe our five sensory discernments, to what is, and what is not, but love, perhaps, is a genuine genetic, at a cellular level quality that has evolved over millennia, so easier to spot, it’s heated hot, and awhy a love story should be the focus causation of my happiness, that it yet thrives, and functions and supplies we humans, a chance to see, to believe, that genuine yet exists, inward and unwarped, within we ordinaries

Ushered into the breathable Strung on undefinable threads, Life's atmospheric interlacing; A weaving, hidden to opaque sight Subtle ties, loosen and relax, Chest enmeshed entirely, Titillating summations of Earth's enthusiasm Entwine in activities of the lungs and heart Pumping action, energy, growth, Air feeds fire, and power, and blood, Burning from the inside, animated, Billions of cellular suns, throbbing Light in the garden of the body, Alive with murmurs, and hums Of love, all of time, and space, Moved to produce this oscillation Ecstatic the body expands in swells, Ecstatic the body contracts in swells, Ecstatic are the waves exchanging, Ecstatic is the surge of breath
