Alone into Rainy, twist a Dai clove, pattering rain, wind lingering foot Yuhuan, lengthy dark gray rain curtain hung plaintive, oblique rain splashes dusty track marks, those rainy season, those day's dependent, those nostalgic every night in this late spring rain, scraping completed my cold lonely, rain turned into a long and narrow alley Resentment, thwarted flows into atria, cool diffuse through the apex. Do not turn around in your mind of the day, I count, chatter thoughts of you, and for your Ai resentment, Acacia entanglement, filled Chu pain, no know what to say, but unfortunately does not help, once the owner of the rain falling, once clouds drifting sea oath, I never touched your warmth, sigh Lane is a rain: Wife - Why shallow edge. (yiwu export) Came alone intersection, waving a monotonous right hand, held in our left vague shadow, the breakdown of the raindrops bounce dust, Red rain, your shadows, swaying like a willow in the rain erratic, like a hard rain exhibition wings flutter Ling heavy, like rain, pedestrians hurry hurry ...... once Pengguo footprints Bingqing appearance of your hands, had led a faint in the rain blessings Juyi Peng broken tile rain dream, comfort our goodbyes, we pay homage to the past. Acacia is the way the dust, whisk Yang is confusion of resentment, lost pain. This year's rainy season to refresh my mind, I view Acacia dream dreams, the pain, resentment cut into the rain, stuck into the soil; tears into the hands of deep stone, sank; to have a bunch of rendering painful injury worry text buried in the memory, so that resentment heart of the sea to swim, let the pain out of the bone marrow, dusty track once marks, wound treatment desolate, firmly stand in Kuwata, enterprises no longer envy sea water. (yiwu export agent) Let love and hate, love and hatred, grace and resentment, thinking and pain in the rainy season falling, drifting in the rainy season. I left alone a pool of water, the flow of soulful call. (Yiwu buying agent)

Dysfunctional behind closed doors Shapeshifted the lovesick ***** She'll touch you timid, trembling hands Scared that you arent coming back Digs through drawers and under the sink Searching for her missing link A cigarette will do for now At least it isn't puppy chow Shameless in her actions past Comfortable in coming last Theres more than at the surface level And everybody's personal hell Clove hitch knot around her waist She followed at a steady pace Wrapped around your pinky finger She mimicked all you seemed to give her What her eyes can do to you Back of my throat still tastes like glue What a sullen memory Of what that **** can do to me She bites her nails and fingertips Terrified that she might slip A clumsy dance that she once knew Of falling into penance due Twirl your hair and crack a smile This one's gonna take awhile Different or the same old same old They've paid for it in pounds of fools gold Chasing after fading dreams Tripping up on memories Will she make it on her own A concept simple, yet unknown A reunion of the sweetest kind Desperate to escape the time Spirits burn an empty soul But never can they make one whole Echoing within her chest "You have always been the best" She sips and stares across the room Shadowed by her phantom groom Cut off from hearts nourishment All on her own cursed to lament The choices that she didn't make And chances that she didn't take A sigh inside an empty mind A drop of water off the tide She's buried next to clementines Roots entangle, synchronize What a pretty little mess Of despondancy and tenderness And she's still waiting underground For a love once frolicked, love once found

midnight dark is my true love’s kiss of clove and citrus scented cradled in the subtle woven voices of the conspiratorial night wind soft as the silver-blue edges of light cast from nocturnal lanterns sharing in silent thunder secrets held in coffers of crimson jade blazing with the vibrance of constellations blown before celestial storms full as skyward Luna rounded and buxom heavy with desire veiling my worldly sight so her truth can pierce me blinding me that I may see

The world was young, the mountains green, No stain yet on the Moon was seen, No words were laid on stream or stone When Durin woke and walked alone. He named the nameless hills and dells; He drank from yet untasted wells; He stooped and looked in Mirrormere, And saw a crown of stars appear, As gems upon a silver thread, Above the shadow of his head The world was fair, the mountains tall, In Elder Days before the fall. Of mighty kings of Nargothrond And Gondolin, who now beyond The Western Seas have passed away; The world was fair in Durin's Day. A king he was on carven throne In many-pillared halls of stone With golden roof and silver floor, And runes of power upon the door. The light of sun and star and moon In shining lamps of crystal hewn Undimmed by cloud or shade of night There shone for ever fair and bright. There hammer on the anvil smote, There chisel clove, and graver wrote, There forged was blade, and bound was hilt; The delver mined, the mason built, There beryl, pearl, and opal pale, And metal wrought like fishes' mail, Buckler and corslet, axe and sword, And shining spears were laid in hoard. Unwearied then were Durin's folk; Beneath the mountains music woke: The harpers harped, the minstrels sang And at the gates the trumpets rang. The world is grey, the mountains old, The forge's fire is ashen cold; No harp is wrung, no hammer falls, The darkness dwells in Durin's halls; The shadow lies upon his tomb In Moria, in Khazad-dûm. But still the sunken stars appear In dark and windless Mirrormere; There lies his crown in water deep, Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

So it is eighteen years, Helena, since we met! A season so endears, Nor you nor I forget The fresh young faces that once clove In that most fiery dawn of love. We wandered to and fro, Who knew not how to woo, Those eighteen years ago, Sweetheart, when I and you Exchanged high vows in heaven's sight That scarce survived a summer's night. What scourge smote from the stars What madness from the moon? That night we broke the bars Was quintessential June, When you and I beneath the trees Bartered our bold virginities. Eighteen -years, months, or hours? Time is a tyrant's toy! Eternal are the flowers! We are but girl and boy Yet -since love leapt as swift to-night As it had never left the light! For fiercer from the South Still flames your cruel hair, And Trojan Helen's mouth Still not so ripe and rare As Helena's -nor love nor youth So leaps with lust or thrills with truth. Helena, still we hold Flesh firmer, still we mix Black hair with hair as gold. Life has but served to fix Our hearts; love lingers on the tongue, And who loves once is always young. The stars are still the same; The changeful moon endures; Come without fear or shame, And draw my mouth to yours! Youth fails, however flesh be fain; Manhood and womanhood attain. Life is a string of pearls, And you the first I strung. You left -first flower of girls! - Life lyric on my tongue, An indefatigable dance, An inexhaustible romance! Blush of love's dawn, bright bud That bloomed for my delight, First blossom of my blood, Burn in that blood to-night! Helena, Helena, fiercely fresh, Your flesh flies fervent to my flesh. What sage can dare impugn Man's immortality? Our godhead swims, immune From death and destiny. Ignored the bubble in the flow Of love eighteen short years ago! Time -I embrace all time As my arm rings your waist. Space -you surpass, sublime, As, taking me, we taste Omnipotence, sense slaying sense, Soul slaying soul, omniscience.

(I Could Not Knot a Knot.) My tale is one of tortuous frustration, when two ropes caused me aggravation, and my every effort resulted in a situation that left me in a state of angry indignation! Oh, what a knotty problem I had got, when I found I could not knot a needed knot! Though needing help on how to knot a knot, no one I knew, knew how to knot my needed knot! I had two short ropes - which I’d a need to knot, and which I’d knot together with a special knot, but it never worked, for the knot did not knot, and my knot came undone! I felt such a clot! Firstly, I took the ropes, which I twisted tight together, but still the end result, was not right, for when I tugged, the knot, not only fell apart, but showed no sign of a knot! Making a fresh start, I took one rope, and placed it firmly under the other. This was so easy, I did wonder if my actions should have been reversed, for it too fell apart! Oh, how I cursed! Seems tying knots is not for faint hearts, for any knot, that’s not knotted, soon parts when it’s put to the test! That I’m not a knot expert, you can tell. Truly, my forte is not that of being very good at tying knots, for I do not understand what knots need, to keep them from falling apart! Tying a knot right, right from the start, is important, and that’s why my knot was not reliable, but why I did not understand. Yes, I’ve tied many knots. but they’re knots known as Granny Knots. Other knots are what folks call a Slip Knot. Then there’s the Turk’s Head - a special knot, as is the Cat’s Paw, Clove Hitch,and Bowline. Truth to tell, - none of these resembles mine! Then there’s a Timber Hitch, which is a knot that truly puzzles me, and not an easy knot to knot! There’s many other knots, that need the greatest skill, such as the Hangman’s Knot - a knot that’s made to **** Whilst the sheepshank? That’s a tricky one to see! So many knots, but they’re not knots for me. Methinks of all the knots, the one true knot for me, is the “Lover’s Knot”, which I have tied successfully! Rhymer. April 24th, 2018

How can I consider myself a poet? I do not have a cat for a pet (Instead I have a dog that thinks I’m her pet) How can I call myself a poet? I do not over indulge in alcohol (Except the rarely occasional beer or whiskey) How can I be a poet? I do not consciously write with rhyme or rhythm in mind (If it comes, it’s usually seldom or unintentional) How can I be called a poet? I don’t live in France nor have I ever been (Though given the chance, I would leave in a heartbeat) How can I be considered a poet? I don’t dress in all black clothes and smoke Clove cigarettes (I love flannel and jeans and smoke Camel or American Spirits)                                                              How can I consider myself a poet?                                                  (Maybe the fact that I ask this question makes me a poet?)

How Can I? {Poet Stereotypes}
One clove a day health eternal I pray that it is not true, for I am well short of the twenty two thousand to have been eaten by this date one plant if it were new to enter anywhere, would not pass inspection as a common garden vegetable, it would take decades and investigation, to give the nod to forty garlic chicken or even to transport one clove. some say it is the taste, to others it is the waft, of air in advance of the consumer, knowing it does the body good, but if one eats garlic and your mate must too, or there may be a break in that allure each cluster is a toxin buster, if you can muster the appetite. each group can raise a whoop, from a troop of the healthy. eat it raw to digest your will to resist, that all will cease and desist, to disagree. eat it cooked, make it good, that it would deliver all the benefits your friends will understand even from across the room

On Garlic - One misunderstood vegetable
We can make this edible without utensils In a strange, menuless kitchen Well, can you not make a salad? Take a cucumber of memory Slice it so thin that none of the recollections hurt anymore. Mince some olives so fine Their oil leaks onto the cucumber like OK. Add the pulsing flesh of bright red tomatoes But don’t slice them Just squeeze them with your hand Until they explode like wet epiphanies And dare to dice a garlic clove Without turning your nose away As invisible olfactory reality Assaults you with truth so pungent That ECT would pale in comparison To that very assault on your boundaries of understanding And then toss the whole thing Watching how it changes color and texture And just when you both start to get hungry And you both want to cry The 50 minutes are over.

PSYCHOTHERAPY SALAD
At his little hippie college he shows me a *** that looks like a wall in a Rwandan museum, all skulls, he learned clay in the Rift Valley boarding school, on a kick wheel, still his favorite My brother is a potter multicolor plaid shorts little goatee Banjo Japan dreams girl from Mozambique. When we were little in Loiyangalani we made tiny huts out of obsidian while our Rhodesian Ridgebacks sniffed the ground for cobras sand vipers scorpions while twenty camels walked by in a row followed by tiny replicas My brother is a potter, says to me 'When I am doing this I am doing what I was created to do' He makes a green and blue candleholder for me which he calls 'The Islands,' light escapes through many holes which look like sea turtles pockets of air and an atomic bomb just gone off we turn off the lights in my room in the hood, snorkel in candlelight My brother gives me Rumi, incense, peace flags We walk the silent night smoke a clove look at stars like we used to do in the African riverbeds

My Brother Is A Potter
Another year, another Paddies day, Here in New York, hope for sun to play. So the Irish celebration, takes winged flight, Green is the color in everyone's sight. Parade in the street, down fifth avenue. The master of ceremony, we don't know who? But the master this day, stands as St. Pat, Clad in green, with a leprechaun's hat. Hear the bagpipes, the drums pounding loud, This is the Irish day, to stand and be proud! A Catholic holiday, dietary sanctions they lift, Eat meat and drink alcohol, is the Popes gift. What are we celebrating?  Let's take a closer look, Power up the computer or crack open a book. St. Patrick was born under English rule, His family was clergy, formally educated in school. Kidnapped by the Irish, and held as a slave, To journey back to England he must be brave. He returned one day to the Irish shore, About the eternal Trinity, the Irish learned more. A bishop now, native clove he did use, To teach the Irish, about celestial clues. About the father and son and the holy ghost, The three leaves on a shamrock, they will forever toast! The three leaves of a shamrock, and it's circular shape, Are the same as God's Trinity, the logic you can't escape. This is why the shamrock is so highly revered, Wear one on your vest, or tucked into your beard. Enjoy the day, celebrate with family and friend, Toast to St. Patrick, may his legacy never end!

Shamrock
The night was passing, and the Grecian host By no means sought to issue forth unseen. But when indeed the day with her white steeds Held all the earth, resplendent to behold, First from the Greeks the loud-resounding din Of song triumphant came; and shrill at once Echo responded from the island rock. Then upon all barbarians terror fell, Thus disappointed; for not as for flight The Hellenes sang the holy pæan then, But setting forth to battle valiantly. The bugle with its note inflamed them all; And straightway with the dip of plashing oars They smote the deep sea water at command, And quickly all were plainly to be seen. Their right wing first in orderly array Led on, and second all the armament Followed them forth; and meanwhile there was heard A mighty shout: "Come, O ye sons of Greeks, Make free your country, make your children free, Your wives, and fanes of your ancestral gods, And your sires' tombs! For all we now contend!" And from our side the rush of Persian speech Replied. No longer might the crisis wait. At once ship smote on ship with brazen beak; A vessel of the Greeks began the attack, Crushing the stem of a Phoenician ship. Each on a different vessel turned its prow. At first the current of the Persian host Withstood; but when within the strait the throng Of ships was gathered, and they could not aid Each other, but by their own brazen bows Were struck, they shattered all our naval host. The Grecian vessels not unskillfully Were smiting round about; the hulls of ships Were overset; the sea was hid from sight, Covered with wreckage and the death of men; The reefs and headlands were with corpses filled, And in disordered flight each ship was rowed, As many as were of the Persian host. But they, like tunnies or some shoal of fish, With broken oars and fragments of the wrecks Struck us and clove us; and at once a cry Of lamentation filled the briny sea, Till the black darkness' eye did rescue us. The number of our griefs, not though ten days I talked together, could I fully tell; But this know well, that never in one day Perished so great a multitude of men.

But they, like tunnies or some shoal of fish, With broken oars and fragments of the wrecks Struck us and clove us; and at once a cry Of lamentation filled the briny sea, Till the black darkness' eye did rescue us. The number of our griefs, not though ten days I talked together, could I fully tell; But this know well, that never in one day Perished so great a multitude of men.

rainbow-blooded life forms be ware. we, who season the earth. we, the cultivators of spices -ginger, clove, cinnamon, saffron. they, who currycomb the earth. they, who purify, sanitize, sterilize, absolve destruct we, the corrupt.

Flush
First, garlic. Dig your nails into its flaking paper, pink and beige like magnolia petals parched in the gutter. Peel back the skin and crush the weighted bud with the heel of your hand on your favourite knife. It has been waiting for this. The thick expectent smell sits up on the chopping board, looks up at you like an old friend. It has burrowed itself into the skin of your hands and lingers there it will not be washed away, instead it quietly clings to your fingers, flavouring letters on your keyboard, the edge of the banister, every light switch in the house. The pulped clove is scattered into a scraped frying pan, your grandmother's; it was never non-stick. The stuck parts were always the best bit, and so it goes, the oil and creamy crumbs find the same spots, engineered over forty years. Some were accidents. All were happy. Yours were ambition-led experiments. The thumbs in the brown recipe book were never your thumbs, the dried-out sedimentary edges were never your mishaps but still it is a bible of sorts, providing answers but never asking questions. Later after dinner when everything is cleared away and nobody can tell that you had been cooking at all bring your fingertips to your nose and inhale the remaining relic of your meal, a letter to yourself, the end notes enduring but faint now, lastly lastly garlic.

This Poem is Not a Recipe
It behaved as the young dove, I started chasing elusive love, It shielded its valuable trove, I found it hidden in the cove, It smelt so fresh like the clove, I gave it a much needed shove, It fumbled right into my glove.

Unexpected Freshness
That droll, little romance was my first cigarette an Indonesian clove cigarillo. A year or two gone now, but I still remember the sensation, all the adrenaline and the drugs! It was that nice, accurate drag, that perfect **** of smoke and nicotine. Love was a potent buzz. It had laughter. The high. It - the passion and ardor -   ...so good. And the subsequent addiction! I craved it, took more than there was. Smoked it to the **** so fast it was over before I realized it. All that remained: the fizzle of tobacco embers, the quick-to-dry sweat of the uninitiated. Then the desperation. I wanted it to work! I smacked my lips for more of the sweetness. Searched desperately inside for only a sickness in my stomach and poison on my tongue. I’ve stopped smoking now, but I will always be just a little closer to death than I should be.

My First Cigarette
Love at the lips was touch As sweet as I could bear; And once that seemed too much; I lived on air That crossed me from sweet things, The flow of—was it musk From hidden grapevine springs Down hill at dusk? I had the swirl and ache From sprays of honeysuckle That when they’re gathered shake Dew on the knuckle. I craved strong sweets, but those Seemed strong when I was young; The petal of the rose It was that stung. Now no joy but lacks salt That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault; I crave the stain Of tears, the aftermark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove. When stiff and sore and scarred I take away my hand From leaning on it hard In grass and sand, The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength To feel the earth as rough To all my length.

To Earthward
my hands are still soft from rolling dough in sugar, still smell faintly of cinnamon and nutmeg cardamom and clove spiral upward in the smoke from black tea, a warmth inside to mingle with the smoke of fire I have nutmeg hands and chai-campfire lungs I am warm-scented steam in an empty orange sweater I am the poem

nutmeg hands
I walked through Bath and Bodyworks inhaling every possible scent                 straight up my                                           nose.                                                           Burning my sinuses with                                                             Gingerbread and Spice                                                                   Cinnamon Clove                                                                      Fresh Cupcake                                                                        Winter Berry                                                                              Calm so that even the smallest remnants                                        of your smell I could not intake and kept myself from once again            falling asleep wearing that                   sweater that I took                              to pretend was you.

Snuffing
I think I fell in love with a porn-star And got married in a bath-room Honeymoon on the dance-floor And got divorced by the end-of-the-night. On her thin white neck the Devil's mark. Butt-I'm in love with my porno-chick; I present her to my mother with a video, with my MacBook Pro™, smokin' her Marlboro™ clove cigs, all glimmer up with cheap make up falling curls over her shoulders, between you and me, o'er her *** in debris. There's only one, and one there's only: don't bother me and my ***** chick if you don't get cheap thrills from a midnight flick if you're feeling suicidal, or barely lonely. And I love her.

No Bobolink—reverse His Singing
I know not where I shall find love By the foots of the mountain or on the plains of clove Where the oak trees shed their green blades on the brown grass Perchance by the deserted road where lays the heap of trash I know not when I shall find love During spring when April showers bring may flowers When wintry chilling cold bites the white earth When the woods glow of amber in the hearth I know not how I will find love Through divine appointment or by strove Whether from a recent friend or a foe of past days May be from stranger met by labyrithine ways I know not why I will find love Whether possessed passions will cause me to move To seek the friendship of some lovely lass May be just another ritual of life to pass Whether in known or unknown places Whether in familiar or strange faces Whether time is constant or flies like a dove I one day shall find love
