"gesticulating" poems
Byron wants me to invite all my friends on HP to a pig roast. Rest assured, when Byron has a pig roast fun is surely to be expected. Here's his invitation. You're invited to my pig roast. I told him he'd have to do better, that he's talking to a collection of rhymers, wordsmiths, and gesticulating anthropomorphics. He had no idea what the **** I just said, but he did do an edit. Here's his edit. You're Invited to My Pig Roast Your toad on the road Only squats, never stands, Or sits 'til he splits Between the treads of your van. Your mouse in the house, If it isn't found out, Drops pellets in pots, 'Til snap, then it stops. Your bird on the wire Sweetly sings then lets fire; And a cat in a hat Is cute, but that's that. Your horse from the stable Won't be served from your table; And the deer by the brook, Well, too much the Bambi to cook. Yes a bear in the wood Indeed craps where it should; He's best left alone While your meat's on your bone. Then there is the PIG. A ruddy pink porker, Intelligent and clean, An innocuous oinker. It does nothing that's heinous, And yes, it should shame us, As it lies silently smiling With a spit up its **** Please bring your own lawnchair, *****  and women. The pig's on me.

it,s loose cotton electric *** copper children husky sighing t he trickle of daughters into the little wet cracks on Railroad ave. a beggars hand gesticulating empty spans a river of grins course toward amber oblivion and jarring rhythms. she's a white idea. a lemon dress ***** her hips are a delicious war of curving apparitions a dearth of pleasure loaded folds. or else a caustic laceration; some hernia of capillaries blotting ivory thighs a n d all the children giggle, teeth cleaning pearly cheeks splay the efforts of their throats all over the cobbles. it,s a night FRIDAY yes

Sitting in that cafe was like sitting atop the tower of Babel a cacophony of language like a hurricane was going on all around him the homeless black men who spoke with their own jive and jib he knew some of the language but was far from fluent there were the Arabian men talking into blue tooths on their ears or into cellphones or arguing with each other outside over cigarette after endless cigarette nothing but harsh blunt sounds, it was beautiful in a way and there is the Russian couple bombshell athletic blondes it was hard to determine whether the relationship was Mother and Daughter or coach and athlete they were seemingly all business broken with interspersed bouts of laughter and their were the Asian boys and girls coming from Korea or Japan or China, or some other place talking fast and easy gesticulating wildly with their hands and of course their was English thick and arrogant in its tone it was a language for movers and shakers money makers and deal breakers it sounded nowhere near as special as the other languages And there was him sitting silently in the corner of the cafe his language the chitter chatter of the keyboard

Water of remembrance sprinkled On the mountain crest of recollection. Indulgent mussy memory catapulted Stones of retentiveness into the Courtyard of events like bricole Of battles. Pendulum of reminiscences swinging On oscillating milage of roads like Trotting horse with drippage of sweat And itching foots. Ghost of reminiscences restlessly Roaming with carriage of yesteryear. Final year educatees required Boardinghouse, But list of items engorged dear Mother's treasury "where do l raise money to buy oyinbo mattress, Ilori?" Mind pullulated with weariness. Intonation of worries. Cantillation of wants. Deficiency of measured means. Oyinbo mattress beyond ladder Of reach. Gluttonously waiting to devour Lesser items, But rays of compulsion unslammed The gate of respite. Lordly arrival warmly welcomed by The dorm room's porter, Walking majestically to the bed-space With the acquired cotton wool and raffia leaves mattress. Gamut of items passed through the eagle's eyes of the housemaster. Silver painted pail donated by a neighbour passed through the sentry of inspection, And got its admission. Mother's used cloak turned bedsheets Passed through the rigorous scrutiny. Newly built portmanteau unlocked and neatly dissected, item by item. Agazed eyes focused on the cotton wool and raffia leaves hand-made mattress. Expectations rattled mumbling astonishment. Legs stuck in the mud of mystification. Telepathic dews covered ocean of thought. Tranquil silence engulfed vicinity, Deflating the balloon of hope like a litigant awaiting verdict from the jurist's chambers. Porter's gesticulating gesture connoted nothingness of demeaning disapproval, perambulating on the hilly terrain of approval. Akimbo stood l. Now the verdict! Molten volcanic magisterial command erupted in a gestapo gesture, Spudding out from the barytone's baritone voice from the selfsame housemaster, From the bastion of authority, And the house generalissimo like a wild brant squalled, matter-of-factly, "we do not accept bed bugs cotton wool and raffia leaves hand-made mattress here". Entreaties collapsed.

Daniel? A piggish snort. Crusted eyes crack open like the wings of a beetle. Ragged nails scrape against the red-worn desert of an adolescent jawbone. A fishlipped yawn. Ugh. What? What did you call that plant thing again? Jesus, James. Waxwood. It's a reddish bark. Oozes this cloudy stuff if you crush it. Oh. Yeah, of course. Sorry. **Ambient silence. Raindrops fill with rotting organic sediment and fall into the leaves around the clapboard tollbooth. A zealous fist of ivy tightens its tattered fingers across rheumatic windowpanes.** Dan? Mm? Why don't you like to talk about Clifftown? Ambient silence. Raindrops. Ivy. I’ll tell you why I don’t like to talk about Clifftown. Go on. Sigh. I was born there. Before all this happened, it was this small village where onions grew. Not many people lived there. There was... Christ. A church, a chemist, a library and a few houses. The biggest house was this tall yellow clapboard place, which was on the cliff by the sea. This kid who lived there. He wasn’t - A thud as a gesticulating knuckle rasps against splintered pine. *-Ow, **** - didn’t look human. His head was big and soft like a berry, and his eyes were wide and wet and creepy, and he never spoke. It was like he was empty.* What’d you say his name was again? Never did. A dusty rubbing noise as the fluid is forced out of a cheekbone. Leviticus Croker. He died when he fell from a low salt cliff into the sea or something. Can’t remember. **** I’m sorry. Don’t be. I hated him. A lump of pressed asphalt sends a clouded multitude of motes spinning and passes screaming through the glass pane of the sunwards window. A chuckle. That was a year ago. They had to blame somebody. Oh. Right. An eyelid raised in revelation traps a mote against the skin stretched taut across a young skull. Right. ****

it is midnight, and i am lonely perched near an open window looking out into the city full of strangers pulsing through the streets it is midnight, and i am lonely the cool air striking my face as i listen to the bells chime and count them one, two, three, four, five and it is only when i get to twenty-seven that i realize i'm doing something wrong it is midnight, and i am lonely laying on the worn mattress, thin bars pressing into my back staring at the cracked white ceiling making constellations out of spiderwebs and generally thinking about nothing it is midnight, and i am lonely wandering the empty streets of Harlem plastic bags fluttering by someone screaming and me, walking it is midnight, and i am lonely standing in a large crowd telling a joke and gesticulating emphatically wiggling my eyebrows when i get to the funny part it is midnight, and i am lonely.

It is midnight, and I am lonely
The right eye is the window of hope the left eye the window of despair And this proposition is proven in my photograph a portrait of a grizzled guy taken just before he stepped in front of a speeding car while gesticulating wildly Who knows what happened there? Yet I will live! gather fallen timbers to form a stockade against time Because finally I have discovered that time is not my friend It's a simple game she plays time girl trickster girl but my ancient beams will prevail I swear it by a handful of ash and mark the moment with a rune that exists outside of time and says simply Be this. You were forever thus. It's a difficult rune to read and a harder path to follow.

A cursed affliction of the heart A human condition that drives us hither And thither chasing a ghostly calling On a restless search for mirages We are all actors Playing our role Said a great sonnet writer We use to quote platitudes But what of those who wander A crossroad of diverging futures Where one role does not satisfy Their boundless hopes and desires A poet one moment A grave digger the next Who shovels mud in the darkness And finds meaning in the light A role fit for a novel maybe Or at least a bad play Starring unknown faces Gesticulating to an empty theatre Some find solace behind the pages Of a tattered copy of Crime and Punishment Leading a vicarious life of alcoholics and whoremongers And some become what they don’t read Blessed is the mind whose devotion Is pure, untainted by the spectre Of what is and what could be Charting a singleminded road that plods on To heights heavenward To places unexplored In a narrow field of vision Towards a sunlit horizon And not be stuck in the bogs Of indecisive action Of halfhearted measures In a dreary haze of possibilities But it’s only a cosmic joke one would say For why did the Almighty in his wisdom Make a world so vast and beautiful Our ambitions so conspicuously lofty And our fleeting lives so very inadequate?

Beautifying its Void
...Portend for the life of you--cast your eyes as far from you, as what you could not see coming otherwise. A living through and through...of what came first--word or sound, sound or word? These spaces...spendthrift pages that are but doorways to their impending figure, wind coiling at its corners...coiling at its corners. As a thing grows into itself invisibly... as so you fall the falling curtain--with no audience at one side, nor actors upon the other. Irrevocably you are, that you are--sun halved, golden bowls burning--of good and evil--a miscellany saint's evocation...that you are, irrevocably you are...amaranthine. Gesticulating beyond time, times, and half time...a procession of one whose sojourn repeats upon itself. A heaven ago...hell now...a hell ago-- heaven now, change knows all your names-- and because you withstood all it can ever be, it holds them steadfastly. Amaranthine...irrevocably you are...that you are. You, the faces of disambiguation--whose seal you smile to open...with full marks for bravery.

Colour blindness, was One mans gift (4:20)
Today, I found beauty in hairy arms and a receding hairline. My substitute for my English Literature class was a man. His name is Danny. He's short and a little fidgety, gesticulating with every word he speaks. His voice is moderately deep, strong and clear. He's attentive, though his fidgetiness makes him seem a bit scatter brained. His white t-shirt with a few buttons on the top and brown pants were rather plain. Rather, his attire was practical. Alongside his 5 o'clock shadow and glasses, he's average. He's your average middle-aged man, subbing an American Literature class. But he isn't average. He's passionate. He knows what he's talking about. He's descriptive, knowledgeable, well-rounded. He's excited to examine and read and understand literature. He's genuinely excited to unearth the underlying meanings of our most recent readings. You can tell in his spazzy hand movements when he gets excited, or when he pushes his hair back and readjusts his glasses when he's in the middle of a thought. You can see it in his thoroughness of his explanations. He's engaging- he talks to and with us, not at us. He loves his job, he loves his work, and it's very apparent. So Danny is beautiful. I think he is beautiful because of his passion. It caught my attention and it has me hooked. For this first time this semester, I want to go to this class because I know he'll be there, eager to explain the reading and ask us what we think about it too. People, I beg of you to be like Danny- find what you love, immerse yourself into it. Your passion for your work will flow out of you and captivate you to your core. When you're that invested, it becomes infectious. Others will be captivated and immersed as well, even if it is more so in you than it is in your passion. Passionate people are alluring and captivating. I think that's beautiful, more so than other things a person could be. It's beautiful to be so passionate about something that you exude and live it, almost as if your passion were the air you breathe.

Your shoulders, sturdy, hold me, heavy, I am groggy but awake. Push at a rock and hope it will move. You reap what you sow but I did not plan for your barren lands, I hadn't thought of the desert, I have not been able to dream, I have yet to fall asleep. Watch me fall into the abyss of my own unconscious,  salvaging dollops of conversations we have not had. Look at you ramble... uneasy, too afraid to let a comfortable silence sit between us, too insecure to share anything but emptiness disguised as words. I did not believe in the power of company, and their influence. Now all I can do is stare inertly at the fallow lands of my nightmares Only to awake, heaving, still heavy, gesticulating wildly, reaching for familiarity. I hate this obstinate reality. We are friends by habit not love.

What if my whole life, The pain remained? That same pain - That same fear - The boy's frightened look of agony. We shall all of us die. The world is too much; We will be nothing. Maybe I - conscious of some other being, May teach you more of man Oratorically and gesticulating, He lives then! Happiness courts the light! Do you still prefer IT? Poor fellow, strange creature. And now it seems to me - in silence... What is grass? Perpetual payment of perpetual loan? Oh! Zero to the bone! Space and Time; I see it's truth. I am large. I exist as I am -- no more have I.

How Exquisitely
Picture yourself taking the first of many punches Picture yourself blowing out a few birthday candles Picture yourself watching a doorknob turn with wide-open eyes Picture yourself clutching a pillow and weeping Picture yourself watching a ewe with a broken leg being shot Picture yourself being guided by old hands who've seen war. Picture yourself perforating a decaf coffee can Picture yourself in doubt and guilt Picture yourself damning a missed chance Picture yourself gesticulating wildly and arguing about a parking ticket Picture yourself telling a friend that you love them, and not feeling weird about it. Picture yourself sipping the greatest cup of coffee you'll ever have Picture yourself hand-feeding a small animal Picture yourself shakily trying to appear like you know what you're doing Picture yourself naked under a full moon Picture yourself lost in a new city and loving ever minute Picture yourself walking into a room and hearing everyone drop dead silent Picture yourself roasting a marshmallow Picture yourself looking down at a horrible injury that doesn't hurt yet Picture yourself carrying a heavy load up a staircase Picture yourself in an empty echoing room Picture yourself making ceviche Picture yourself illuminated by the blue lights of a police cruiser Picture yourself staying cool and detached in front of someone you want to rip the clothes off of and make love to, right that second. Picture yourself startled by a loud noise Picture yourself cleaning something inordinately Picture yourself in a boat on a river.... Picture yourself finding something funny, then feeling bad about it Picture yourself remaining calm when a step-parent judges your choices Picture yourself with the trappings of a more successful person Picture yourself, standing in your best clothes, two hours after graduating college, drinking cheap malt liquor, on the balcony of a cheap apartment, beside the best friend you'll ever know.

such that you are, a bane of hurt that to him a rib, a bane of craft rebellious that i too rebellious against my creator - i did indeed take a book into the forest like i'd take a slice of glass into a desert, and herded horses, eating camomile flowers, gesticulating, pouring beer into my hand and letting them drink it, watching the ******* sunset of london like watching a Chav buying underwear in Primark + Armani = Primani... the pair of them walked home... i ripped off flowers from the spring bloom crop to ease the footing... something resembling Lavender and indeed camellia: a wedding, no pause - for their feet treading - the most colourful garbage littered and not bothered - just left intact, like the many shades of autumnal auburn littering the streets come November.

herding horses
Hiding the starving poems of my psyche stuffing them down fragile green necked aluminum mouths foaming up over jaded cries for intelligence lingering and are loathed personally. Tasted fire, blue Kool-Aid, tryptamine in my drink finding a seat while on the bumper someone hung from a smoking cigarette gesticulating  in a foreign rhythm lips sync out of. Highway headlight twinkling with gasoline drive-shaft incandescence going buzzed backwards sitting on a bed of thorns; a truck dreading the pitiful holes of an untended freeway. Afterwards victories to despair bound to tender purging supposing red cups will release us all to blacked-out porcelain heavens.
