"chalking" poems
the mind is its own beautiful prisoner. Mind looked long at the sticky moon opening in dusk her new wings then decently hanged himself,one afternoon. The last thing he saw was you naked amid unnaked things, your flesh,a succinct wandlike animal, a little strolling with the futile purr of blood;your *** squeaked like a billiard-cue chalking itself,as not to make an error, with twists spontaneously methodical. He suddenly tasted worms windows and roses he laughed,and closed his eyes as a girl closes her left hand upon a mirror.

The Mind Is Its Own Beautiful Prisoner
In the darkest umbra of a shadow Where time and wraith like dimensions collide Is the place you can find all man’s sorrows And woman’s secrets they’ll never confide In the obscurity of one’s dark gloom In your contrasting reverse projection of self You can envision your impending doom Like a porcelain doll falling from the shelf Trace the outline of your twisted dark shade Chalking the ground where your body will be laid Lying down, your shadow and you become one While you lie dead under the blazing sun

Darkest Shadows
For the first time on campus, Sisters on the Runway will strut and pose for domestic violence awareness. Sisters on the Runway will be hosting its first annual fashion show from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight in the Business Building. All proceeds will be donated to the Centre County Women's Resource Center, Layla Taremi president of the organization, said. Sisters on the Runway is a national student-run organization that raises awareness about women and children who reside in domestic violence shelters. There are over five chapters throughout the nation, each supporting the same cause to local shelters. It was founded in 2009 and has grown since then, Taremi (sophomore-marketing) said. Aside from the fashion show, which is the biggest fundraising event that the organization hosts, Sisters on the Runway is also responsible for other events. The organization hosts a chalking event where they write facts about domestic violence on sidewalks using chalk. This is a way for them to raise domestic violence awareness, Taremi said. It also hosts a walk where all participants walk a mile in heels for awareness. The show will consist of eleven female models and three male models, Edie Alexander, the event planner, said. Alexander said the show is expected to showcase clothing from Connections, Dwellings, Diamonds and Lace Bridal and Harper's, who are also their sponsors. Looks Hair Salon will be responsible for hair and makeup for the models in show, Taremi said. "There is no theme for the show,” Taremi said. “It will be a wide spectrum of clothing." The male models are expected to walk the runway showcasing suits and tuxedos, Taremi said. Originally the show was not going to include male models. It wasn't until the owners of Harper's decided to contribute to the show by donating some men's apparel for the fashion show. All the models participating have been building up their confidence for the runway, Alexander (sophomore-recreation park and tourism management) said. "I'm excited for our first annual fashion show, I hope this brings more awareness to the Penn State community," Vice President Lauren Shearer (sophomore-supply chain management) said. The organization’s goal is to get a lot of people involved through different events to help raise awareness of domestic violence, Shearer said. "We’re trying to push people to come, not just Penn State students, because it's not an issue that doesn't only affects college students,” Alexander said. “It affects everyone as well."Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide

my blue bones are wit and it means less to keep things and nothing is quiet. we rely on knit springs and disingenuous copilots. we're prone to the oath of our fears suckling the dent in our collective breast. nursing the suffering of our sharp pillows and the terrors of our happiness, windswept. we cherish the swamp-sweat of outlines... chalking the missing body. instead of dem crocodiles, we have golden calf-fish slaughtered on the lawn of our untarnished rush... prospecting - and jumping the claim to our gummi worm. we tumble in tandem, and massively mismanage our enchantments. my bones are blue wit and it means less to have at it. we jab Stats and lack Data, but clap atoms to a mad hatter. we raid the pantry of our miffed ladder against the side of a barn gone. leaning in the twilight of our genuine sun. surly pixies in the black sugar, kinking the last nerve of our entropy. dem crocodiles, grinning rigid menace in the murk... instead of dem - let us first disperse where the hurt, hurts; and be first to do less worse than a farcry or an up-close word a tad mean. lets collapse things that expand, burning all this, instead of dem secrets... un-ghouling the riddle of our dead wait in the infinite room next to the room with the last view of a naked girl. where the world is this world. and we're on it.

instead of dem crocodiles
The lines on her flesh The slightly closing eyes The breath Just barely Everyday I'd wait for you at the top of the stairs Hiding in the shadows as the morning glare peeked through Shining on the boxes that I had stacked up in the night While I gnawed on my hunger You'd come up for several minutes Whisper to me in our stolen time Let me smell you all over in brief embraces And then leave Moments in the breaks of my lightwatch Nights and the descent of the wolves on the hunt The scent of dusk and the ever blinking stars And the creaking of bicycles treading through the woods I'd look you all over in the darkness of the moon Taste the weariness through the souls in our eyes Mildew and the chirps of homecoming birds Warming our bodies in unison The whips of sunshine would come again We'd scramble away from each other Dislodging our joints and other such things Tightening the knots Every fragment I'd wait for your silhouette Luminance granting me brief glimpses Drawn through the curtains of prying eyes And the numerous opuses creasing our hearts The dots of Orion in the amber snow Greeting our hands and chalking the rain Pyres of pain make the distances scarce And burrowing in my chest we'd sit Burning in the ashes of twilight.

Pictures of Orion
A wind screams through crepuscular fingers of white trees chalking cryptic graffiti over flaking paint lacquered by the spray of waves breaking the shoal spits pebbles against grimy windows. The door latches -- front and back -- rattle the whey-faced man sandblasts his warm and whisky breath against the glass over his victims’ desperate little handprints dappled in red sand whispers from within the basement. The house moans.

The House by the Sea
Sweet Yesteryears’ A sound from the radio taps at her ear And brings back a memory from sweet yesteryear A smile tugs her lips as she goes down that path To days of a childhood where hearts seemed to laugh! Back home in her garden with all of the clan Knees bruised from scrumping the fruits of the land Clothes worn and tatty but nobody cared As laughter was plenty in the house which they shared! They all made their pastimes with games which were free Conkers on strings also climbing the trees Chalking on pavements to play some hopscotch All was unruly but they felt like top-notch! A sound from the radio beckons once more Closing the gate tight from this magnificent tour Sweet yesteryears‘ over but will never depart So unwrap it real careful to spread light on your dark! © By LynnKaren

“Can you hear me?”  “Can you hear me?”  …. “Come-in” Boys with “walkie-talkies”, walking and talking, squealing and squawking The girls were chalking – on the sidewalk Range, one quarter mile.  More over water, the box said If all you hear is static Run some wire in your attic Or tie it to your gutter “Can you hear me?”  You may utter Copper wire strung on a fence For Russian signals the pretense Every beep, buzz and whistle Was that to do with someone’s missile? A weather fax for steaming ships,  “doodle doodle” sound Deadly tips! Vacuum tubes soft-lit for me RCA, Westinghouse, and GE Their glow-warm magic casting a spell A hook set lightly - I could not tell Gizmos, and gadgets, in crate after crate Rolled into the business - helped shape my fate War surplus it was, "truck's in" they would holler Purchased for two-bits on the dollar So thank you Dad – the hook you set grew into a job, my needs were met A needed change, a needed change Courtesy, Machinery Exchange

My Father's Business
The agenda in what crime might take place It sounds more like substance taking up space The chalk on the blackboard written with the plan It’s just a matter of time This is no time to be kind Calculations with defined precision The motto is the key in decision The crime trail wrote out in black and white The chalking tail of a safe and a bank being for the taking right The mystery behind why the crime is being committed The Villain’s names are being omitted No need to tell It’s all in a matter of time when the stroke of midnight strikes with the ringing of the bell A crime that was supposed to start, but never did complete Behind is all was no courage, but plenty of deceit The crime that came with defeat The Villains were caught before the crime was even done Too bad all crimes don’t end like this being the headline of “Hit into Miss” The Blackboard turning crime into a twist

end of a business week... [BabelTolls]
Fresh air hitting newborn lungs lodged in a memory made of mealworms. Chalking dirt between serrated incisors. The day I asked a new girl to be my girlfriend you left a note at my house signed "love," telling me you were infinitely sorry. Some things just don't have an explanation. There is a knife in my throat chalking chords between scratched teeth, words ground down to chunks of flesh, they never last, taste like the last of something we had. When I kissed your face in my bedroom there was no golden crust of light you gave me head and I didn't *** over the next year I fell in love it tasted like blood in my mouth there is a knife in my throat, you placed it delicately as if you'd be back to pull it out with hands still warm from spreading another's pulse and stroking down the center with one finger. I said all the words I knew hoping you'd hear some you liked, I made a collage of spittle and stringy voice box from my insides you didn't come back so your note is noted but there is no "us" curled up in grand central station, no eyes glowing, and there is nothing left to say, but it hurt in a way I was not ready to know and came from a direction I had never believed in. Thanks for the golden days, most of them were, i'm sorry I crumpled so easily I don't think i'll ever be the same, that's a good thing but you had to know you had to know what I didn't and someday you'll grow up, it'll hurt, it's worth it. But goodbye meant goodbye.

What's Left
mothers innocent of crow chalking about in white grass. fathers, guilty and gospel. gardens and pocket deer. my sister has a stone, one cheekbone, and a kite. how you are seeing that stone, let me this- it is not god’s tear, tooth, godcrumb. nor is it madly a raindrop. she loves it she says for its milk. but she’s 12. digs in the night at her ear.

I am not a perfect daughter I'm sure you agree Your temper is hotter I'm the reason frequently Telling you it is only in your brain You have a meltdown Upset Chalking worry up to being insane Not what you deserve to get Going to be an improved child I'm completely grown Easy to provoke and wild Still the sweet baby you've always known Now I am telling you I'm sorry For excessive bitchiness and tears Blaming you when it was me Causing half the problems through the years It is not easy to admit I'm wrong Doesn't mean that you are right It takes two to get along Like it does to fight It is going to take determination from both of us It will be worth the patience to try Maybe peace we longingly discuss Will be reality for you and I I cannot change this on my own Wish you would meet me halfway Once in awhile just leave it alone On subjects you feel you must put in your say You want what's best for me Hurt because you care One thing I've been itching to let free "Thank you" for being there Regardless of what flaws come between Relationship has withstood them all Though at times you can act mean Petty quarrels usually stay small So this is a token of my hidden gratitude To show how you mean so much Also an apology for being rude Not keeping in proper touch No matter how drastic our ups and downs The thing that will not ever change That you'll always be around Arms open to me despite how strange I often take that for granted Focus on bad stuff you've done Of all the occasions I've ranted Not once did I mention the depth of your love The countless sacrifices you willingly made In order for me to do well How my hair you'd affectionately braid Somehow I left out of the stories I'd tell So it is written (here in purple ink no less) Save as proof of what's in my heart Next time it will remind us when in distress What is important when falling apart Forgive me for pain I've inflicted Lies and each mess my hand makes Know my actions have left you afflicted I swear I'll make up for all the mistakes

What is it she whispers? Outside.. The brittle bleach decor rustles shy applause Inside…. half encumbered slumber wins The aching World to part made play Arcadian chapels hover in folds That form in the fields of gathering grey and still she whispers. Damp calico dales murmur and shift in the twist of a tremor. A cold palm press upon temples that pulse for the touch of another that passes high over the way… What is it, she whispers? Witch-fingers lift at the filigree latches, saltwater patches salivate free….. ..lasciviously. beneath the list of chalking blinds rim- shot eyes scour windswept causeways Always searching, Always waiting, For some unknown. And still she whispers...

Thirteen long years spent under his thumb. Sixteen years old is when this begun. I thought I was in love , now I know I should have left after the first shove. I stayed instead, chalking it up as one too many drinks,. Time went on only getting worse, as I got pregnant with his child.  The control he had over me was more than mild. It was a push and a shove pulling my hair but worse than that was the emotional abuse he just didn't care. The longer I stayed the worse it got , now there was another life I had to protect. My story goes on for around 10 more years , another baby with him and many hidden tears . Please don't judge others by what you may see because behind those closed doors is a scarred and scorn woman that wants to be free . Free from the abuse she gets everyday the threats of him taking her life away . The fear of what would happen to her children if he snapped and did what he said, The fear she feels laying beside a monster in her bed, the fear that her children will grow up to believe that abuse is ok because that's all they see , So this is a sickness a disease, to treat any human so inhumane, I don't look for pitty but hope someone out there reads this and it changes their life. You see , I am not a Victom but I am a true Survivor of Domestic Violence you may not be as lucky as me if you stay I promise you you don't have to do anything else just get away . © kimmied 1105

Domestic Abuse
Devils of saintly virtues? Or a saint of sin? Who is evil or good? Who bestowed such titles? A boisterous ***** baron? Ordained by dour dukes? Spilled blood to pave a road? Does your honor sunder and erode? Was it virtuous to shove innocents? To put them under lock and key? Saintly, to make them fear? Courage, to turn a blind eye? Is it a sin to feed the starving enemy? A devil to help a dying foreigner breath? Bereave their suffering? To feel guilt when malnourished prisoners beg for feed? What makes you so noble? Foible flags, and an adorable mantra? A little training makes it right? Maybe you know it does not, Paving roads with bones and blood? Did you join to fire a gun? To retrieve bullets from inside of someone? To stand for your flag and defend? Does a medal wash away those sins? All forgiven because you won? Bombs dropped and humanity undone, Another chapter in the book of justification, Titled, ‘War is Hell’ The history of death, peace unsung, Souls seized, leaders appeased, From rot, money and disease, Waiting for battle under south side trees, What makes you better then them? Education? A uniform? Signing your life away to conform? What if your not as noble as you seem? Noble intentions in a hellish scene, In total might, what if neither is right? A hired killer of a higher power, Atrocities in the name of swell intentions, Killing for Lord Benton, or General Jenkins, Does what you read make you mad? Or sad? Will war ravished ruffians take pity? Is it wrong if they slaughter and **** your life? Everyone in it? Will your god founded, blessed flag save you? Maybe they are right, After all, You did it to them first, Suddenly it’s wrong? No chalking up to war is hell? Maybe you’re lost, Maybe notches on your gun makes you proud of past, Maybe feel lied to, in a cloud, Or maybe you’re a demonic psychopath, The history of Saints is usually tattered with sin, Passing volatile judgements upon men, Devils usually do what they are asked, Whether or not it should come to pass, After all, It was conflict that caused Edens fall, Do you care if you’re right or wrong? You, mercenary of the flag? When is wrong, right? Right, wrong? Call you hero and sing your song, Will history see it like you? After all, Stonewall made innocent civilians fall, Regarded hero, Instructed by a drunk, Who are you? What makes you so great? Why are you right? Why are you wrong? In the end, I don’t care if you think, Or ask yourself stated questions, That’s not my biz, Simply put... It is what it is..

The religious chalking of the hands, The tightening of the thick nylon straps, Headphones are placed and primed, Now time begins to lapse. His mind's eye recites what now must be completed, Claiming a bench, he sits, he waits, he breathes, He grasps the ice cold steel and tightens his grip, Lifting, striving for ten, he pushes, he believes. The loud clink clinking of solid metal plates, The sound of great efforts fill the room, Sweat and tears begin to flow, Working hard the muscles engage and begin to bloom. Set after set he keeps pushing forward, Digging deep into his soul for his much-needed strength, Tunnel-visioned now as he drives and drives, Working for that last rep, his arms raising, still at full length. An hour or more passes and the session draws to a close, Crunching his abs, he works as the pain stabs into him like a knife, He knows it's doing him good, it's his mindfulness, it's his time, He will be back tomorrow for another round because after all, training is life.

Training is Life.
Jeanette looked back at me in class I was at the back with Reynard focusing on the history lesson as best we could the text books open before us some colour picture of a cave man with a spear and dressed in fur and some cave girl standing beside looking **** ugly Reynard said in whispered breath Jeanette’s eyes were focused on me dark looking her hair long and dark thin hands and frame she looked away again her narrow shoulders full to view the teacher was chalking words upon the board sentence after sentence in a measured script I thought about the quick peck on Jeanette's cheek at lunch recess just so quick in and out before she had time to say or breathe or feel the affects to make her swoon or sick or both I scribbled on the exercise page   in untidy scrawl Reynard muttering comments about the cave girl's **** about hair under her arms but I was focused on Jeanette’s line of curve the way her narrow waist went in and out so narrow I’d get my arms all about dark hair on her shoulders smooth well brushed or combed the head at an angle as if to scrutinize the writing on the board take in the words and sense and write it down in her (I imagined far finer hand than mine going by the smooth movement of her fingers and pen) maybe I could kiss her again I thought some place some when.

SOME WHEN.
I sidewalk-chalked the Devil incarnate while my childhood innocence slept soundly. It was at midnight underneath the sterile galaxies and omnipresent suns, behind the home of our opalescent father, who only existed in just the right light, just the right situation. As I drew faster, my tears froze, fell, and encased my sinful artwork in ripple lined glass, a window into a lifetime skinned clean of happiness.

Chalking
You couldn't wash the blood away Running to the sink But the well ran dry Pulling apart your skin Trying to hide The crime that you committed Alone in the dark Chalking up all the silly remarks Staining your soul Along with your shirt You had no idea you could cause this kind of hurt But the point wasn't to cover the sin The point was to live in it To breath it all in Suddenly the sin is you and you are it And the blood on your hands was simply a hint At what you truly are A little old flame Sitting alone eating hearts

Stained
Imprisoned. Captured. Nowhere to hide. Lonely, creeping dangerously close to sanity. Imprisoned in my death like a ***** sheet. Stranded and abandoned in the solitaire of life. Why do we sit here and hurt each other? Why stand in dirt and speak of mud? Impostors slandering their good names with faeces. Dribbling lunatics on edge, mimicking normality. Let me dive into the water. Let the water cleanse me. I wait there. I cringe. Vampires of dying myths float with self. Helpless in the skin, helpless in the mind. Wounded chaos dripping in exclusionary streets of pretense and disillusionment. I see into myself. Marooned in a chalking of deceit. You lied to me, I lied to you. Everybody lies and denies. We are collected together in the aquarium of our silence. I sleep. I awake. I open and close my eyes in the screaming stupidity of hoping to wake up tomorrow.

Cringing In The Chaos Of Contemplation
Psalm 14 vs. 1-7 ' The fool has said in his heart there is no God ' ' Crown him with many Crowns the lamb upon his throne , hark all the heavenly music drowns all music but it's own '. " Banished to earth now what ? Ah Gods blessed created ones Did God really say that ? '. A thud as fruit from the mans hand suddenly falls to earth , Oh cheribim and flaming sword thunder hail and rain . AD 34 " All. Hail King of the Jews , ''. as The light of the world is slain , Lamb of God oh Holy one blessed be thy name . On a Holy hill death stands still a curtain torn in two , as darkness fell , no more hell and life is born anew . A gardener who had broken bread , crushed satans head to all who will believe . Yet man still mocks , time has cast Gods word upon a shelf , stacked with books of Peter Pan , with Idols made of gold . Nailed down on war chalking plinths Made from nicotine tar and soot . Forged in bronze , coloured by money , wealth and power. Yet to the faithful few who gather in pews , every Sunday morn , Dawn awakes , heavens gates and with the Angels start to sing praises to Their Savior King oh hail redeemer King for he has died for me thy praise Shall never fail throughout eternity .. God Bless Jude v 24.x

The Crown and Thorn
With each breath, the words we left erupt into contingency clever quips afford an inference sold, stark in it's consistency. If ever I was taught a thrift aligning threads along a canvas. Head to toe, snake oil or poison, chalking up life's mysteries The needle treads along indifferent rhythms often missed in lieu of lecture lifted structure, painted fracture vivid summer, lazy ******* lay the meaning on at will along alliterated thrill fulfill the seam content to spill to drill the point in that much faster. tears of sadness tears of laughter so.. ______________________________________________________ Why does it work to levy silence or flirt to learn a line of some actress or divide up the earth assert a picture infatuated with prying for worth when it ain't there. "I don't care, I ain't tryna get hurt." Have a word, agg a bird on, classic campaign who's drinking champagne, who's getting turned on Choose a new frame for the tragic. Are we laying the groove or are we playing in traffic. No spoilers.
