Left Foot Poet Oct 2017
the sighs in our chest that emanate from a different kind of
breast cancer*

wrote these words prior,
then, certainly uncertain of the exactitude of their meaning,
clearly unclear of their useable intention,
yet the too real wrathful sensations
that inspired their caesarian creation,
the sigh's very own exhalations,
floatations devices for the interned-no-longer emotions,
escapees via the crevasses of chest ribs splitting open,
return to glory thanking me for freedom given

let posterior eloquence suffice, let brevity guide
my self's interior diagramming,
lengthy explications and deep analytics, I leave to you,
the astonished medical examiner and the horrified mortician

chest ripped, my hand reinserted, the blighted scourges,
the abscessed cancers, the obsessive relentless cankers,
asking shamelessly why have I returned to the crime scene

the sighs are air-borne, ready for air plucking,
all cloud seeded, deeded for poets to seize and commence,
to plant and invent, a mountain top trickle to a mighty
river of poems to be recovered and discovered,
unrehearsed and unleashed

but you and I have unwished, unfinished business,
as of yet unwritten, one last poem to honor our
mutually assured destruction,
for this day will be
rewritten differently
this one, a simple script, a written pyramid,
built by an Israelite, who by command, perforce
mustn't but does write prophecies
that may or may not come to being,
poem pyramids,
surely none will not survive Darius's desert sandstorms
ravaging kisses of time's forgetting

Condoms condemn ordinary men
To a lifetime of nothing special
*** becomes a substitute for salvation
And we enter into a new fascination
With our Self-ishness
Explications are seldom necessary
Especially if they are solely hereditary
Michael Marchese Nov 2019
Relief is a rare
All too scarce
Food source here
When it’s clear
I can simply say no
And refrain
From more deigning
To bend over
Backwards
In vain
All I gain
Is a thankless
And bankless crusade
And as much as it shames me,
Still going unpaid
Is becoming each zero sum
Dollar a day
An astray-
Course diverting
Me back to the grave
Like a masterless slave,
An unbidden submissive,
An outspoken critic
With no one to listen
To facts and statistics
Concise explications
Disowning the system
Excoriations
I can’t wait
To be free of this place
And be rid
Of the service
I still think
I owe to these kids
Who don’t give
Half a shred
Of the ****
That they live in
If I live or die
Or reply to the piddling
Remarks as I try
To remember alive
Not just how to survive
On this sustenance pittance
Somehow they can thrive
I just work
At this no-purpose
Circus deprived
Of a ring leader,
Just a few teachers
And creatures
All acting like
Shows must go on
When the bleachers
Devoid
Of a care or concern
Like the clown
Who can’t seem
To turn frowns
Upside down,
Is in town

I am a prisoner of many words
these chains imagined by the muse
when I submit to sadist’s prompt
write another before the dawn
this how of how I face the world
weaponized to cast sly doubt
on my place amongst the tribe
a lone suspect of many crimes

deprecation is the gift
of those who whisper soul’s dark depths
exclaiming truths lost to most
with the tools of the bard
all these labels near at hand
I’ll accept them to explain
where I’ve been before the now
intentions stated for clarity

the greatest challenge is in the now
to justify who I am
putting blame where it may land
knowing much is on my head
as consequence the world my frown
wince at the reasons of my mind
the majority will extol
explications I must ignore

a few like souls will relate
the bravest seeing mirrored states
matches made across the years
still congruence helps to heal
they may share the same words
or the proof is in a nod
now the captive is set free
no longer separate as I scrawl.

The poem “Many Words” is about the challenge and power of the writer, be they a poet or novelist.  Inspiration may come from self-centered thoughts vacillating between joy and despair.  This echo chamber is put to words that are read by others.  This sharing results in a combination of condemnation and replied relating.  The former is discarded.  The latter shares a thought, resulting in the writer feeling less alone.
Je veux tomber d'amour mille fois,
Qu'on me désire deux mille
Les donner mes deux ventricules à plusieurs nationalités
En parler et en marier plusieurs des langues
N'en fournir aucune des explications
Me tendre nu à l'euphorie en laissant,
Le concept de la raison de côté
Le pragmatisme redondant des hommes
Les idées imposées par les sociétés modernes
Vivre sans m'en poser des questions
Follement sans regarder en arrière
Progresser d'un cœur à un autre,
Y dérivant des parcelles du mien sur chaque continent

J'aime la vie mais il faut me forcer à me le répéter
Encore heureux que sur les routes s'y trouvent
Les beaux visages et corps humains
Pour me rappeler que tous connectés nous sommes
Depuis les premiers êtres jusqu'à Nous
