"glut" poems
Compelled by calamity's magnet They loiter and stare as if the house Burnt-out were theirs, or as if they thought Some scandal might any minute ooze From a smoke-choked closet into light; No deaths, no prodigious injuries Glut these hunters after an old meat, Blood-spoor of the austere tragedies. Mother Medea in a green smock Moves humbly as any housewife through Her ruined apartments, taking stock Of charred shoes, the sodden upholstery: Cheated of the pyre and the rack, The crowd ***** her last tear and turns away.

Aftermath
He was large as frogs go Fist-sized happy rotund dweller of backyard pond Garter snake large, too large with his ominous yellow stripes and jaws to take a larger than average mouthful Choked by abdomen's girth Legs drooling from his glut Before the victim's even hit his gut's digestive juices Kid with hockey stick makes him puck for his sin Frog makes  desperate slim swim for rocks Where he lies in recovery from shock and teeth marks on his belly Underdog gets defense from phone call-- Eve 150 miles away intercedes Frog gets mercy of a transport to another backwoods pond-- to find his life forgetting trauma Suns himself and swims Eats the bugs and ***** the froglettes of another day

Underdog Frog
[Dedicated to Austin Osman Spare] Have pity ! show no pity ! Those eyes that send such shivers Into my brain and spine : oh let them Flame like the ancient city Swallowed up by the sulphurous rivers When men let angels fret them ! Yea ! let the south wind blow, And the Turkish banner advance, And the word go out : No quarter ! But I shall hod thee -so ! While the boys and maidens dance About the shambles of slaughter ! I know thee who thou art, The inmost fiend that curlest Thy vampire tounge about Earth's corybantic heart, Hell's warrior that whirlest The darts of horror and doubt ! Thou knowest me who I am The inmost soul and saviour Of man ; what hieroglyph Of the dragon and the lamb Shall thou and I engrave here On Time's inscandescable cliff ? Look ! in the plished granite, Black as thy cartouche is with sins, I read the searing sentence That blasts the eyes that scan it : **** and SET be TWINS." A fico for repentance ! Ay ! O Son of my mother That snarled and clawed in her womb As now we rave in our rapture, I know thee, I love thee, brother ! Incestuous males that consumes The light and the life that we capture. Starve thou the soul of the world, Brother, as I the body ! Shall we not glut our lust On these wretches whom Fate hath hurled To a hell of jesus and shoddy, Dung and ethics and dust ? Thou as I art Fate. Coe then, conquer and kiss me ! Come ! what hinders? Believe me : This is the thought we await. The mark is fair ; can you miss me ? See, how subtly I writhe ! Strange runes and unknown sigils I trace in the trance that thrills us. Death ! how lithe, how blithe Are these male incestuous vigils ! Ah ! this is the spasm that kills us ! Wherefore I solemnly affirm This twofold Oneness at the term. Asar on Asi did beget Horus twin brother unto Set. Now Set and Horus kiss, to call The Soul of the Unnatural Forth from the dusk ; then nature slain Lets the Beyond be born again. This weird is of the tongue of Khem, The Conjuration used of them. Whoso shall speak it, let him die, His bowels rotting inwardly, Save he uncover and caress The God that lighteth his liesse.

Ware, nor of good nor ill, what aim hath act? Without its ****** death, what savour hath Life? an impeccable machine, exact He paces an inane and pointless path To glut brute appetites, his sole content How tedious were he fit to comprehend Himself! More, this our noble element Of fire in nature, love in spirit, unkenned Life hath no spring, no axle, and no end. His body a bloody-ruby radiant With noble passion, sun-souled Lucifer Swept through the dawn colossal, swift aslant On Eden's imbecile perimeter. He blessed nonentity with every curse And spiced with sorrow the dull soul of sense, Breathed life into the sterile universe, With Love and Knowledge drove out innocence The Key of Joy is disobedience.

Hymn to Lucifer
It was warm in Emilio’s backyard, The site of their game of explorer. Emilio cleared the overgrowth; Michael complained. He was bent over, trying To have a conversation with the blood lilies, But he couldn’t hear them Above the soft sliding hiss sent up by The passing snake herd. (Past the Huano palms, Emilio could see them, Moving like a fleshy woven mattress) Both boys noticed The glut of termites Crawling over their sneakers. Michael complained more. How could he explore Amid so many noisy distractions? This was when Emilio went inside To get his father’s gun. Michael watched as he fired Three shots Into the clouds threading the sky. Both explorers presumed it was the shots That punctured the clouds and caused the snow; In the surprising silence of snowfall, The two boys trotted across the yard, Catching flakes in their butterfly nets.

Boredom #2 I’ve never seen so many synonyms for one small noun, Blocking maturation and enjoy-dom: Boredom. “Weariness, ennui: frustration; Restlessness, dissatisfaction, unconcern: frustration; Lethargy, lassitude, flatness and frustration; Dreariness, repetitiveness, apathy: frustration; Tedium, monotony, dullness. yes, frustration.” Can it be overcome, this boredom? No more war - the boredom won, Exchanged for something more like fun? It can. A friend who, when we speak, says, “It’s a part of nature…has no answer...” Reasoning fallacious, She is wrong as wrong can be And her reasoning a fallacy. Awake at night: hormones, full moons; The glut of light: electric gadgets and devices, Radios that play a song too strong, too long.. A trick I’ve learned that’s brought results; A knack, a shortcut worth consulting Is to train the brain to focus on/in/with the brain; Travel round in, sense and feel… Make it real – as if you really feel The part you aim at, frame then tame. In seconds you’ve an object that’s becomes a subject. Boredom fled, you freed, You and your mood well pleased, released And taken places least expected, Un-objected to by you, The burden boredom’s through. And doomed! Boredom 11.24.2016/ #2 revised 2..16.2017 Revelations Big & Small; Definitely Didactic; Arlene Corwin

Boredom #2
Dans le fond des forêts votre image me suit. RACINE There is a panther stalks me down: One day I'll have my death of him; His greed has set the woods aflame, He prowls more lordly than the sun. Most soft, most suavely glides that step, Advancing always at my back; From gaunt hemlock, rooks croak havoc: The hunt is on, and sprung the trap. Flayed by thorns I trek the rocks, Haggard through the hot white noon. Along red network of his veins What fires run, what craving wakes? Insatiate, he ransacks the land Condemned by our ancestral fault, Crying: blood, let blood be spilt; Meat must glut his mouth's raw wound. Keen the rending teeth and sweet The singeing fury of his fur; His kisses parch, each paw's a briar, Doom consummates that appetite. In the wake of this fierce cat, Kindled like torches for his joy, Charred and ravened women lie, Become his starving body's bait. Now hills hatch menace, spawning shade; Midnight cloaks the sultry grove; The black marauder, hauled by love On fluent haunches, keeps my speed. Behind snarled thickets of my eyes Lurks the lithe one; in dreams' ambush Bright those claws that mar the flesh And hungry, hungry, those taut thighs. His ardor snares me, lights the trees, And I run flaring in my skin; What lull, what cool can lap me in When burns and brands that yellow gaze? I hurl my heart to halt his pace, To quench his thirst I squander blook; He eats, and still his need seeks food, Compels a total sacrifice. His voice waylays me, spells a trance, The gutted forest falls to ash; Appalled by secret want, I rush From such assault of radiance. Entering the tower of my fears, I shut my doors on that dark guilt, I bolt the door, each door I bolt. Blood quickens, gonging in my ears: The panther's tread is on the stairs, Coming up and up the stairs.

Aftermath
No, no, go not to Lethe, neither twist Wolf's-bane, tight-rooted, for its poisonous wine; Nor suffer thy pale forehead to be kiss'd By nightshade, ruby grape of Proserpine; Make not your rosary of yew-berries, Nor let the beetle, nor the death-moth be Your mournful Psyche, nor the downy owl A partner in your sorrow's mysteries; For shade to shade will come too drowsily, And drown the wakeful anguish of the soul. But when the melancholy fit shall fall Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud, That fosters the droop-headed flowers all, And hides the green hill in an April shroud; Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose, Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave, Or on the wealth of globed peonies; Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows, Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave, And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes. She dwells with Beauty--Beauty that must die; And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips: Ay, in the very temple of Delight Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine, Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine; His soul shalt taste the sadness of her might, And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Ode On Melancholy
So many eyes lay upon cursing skin crevices grit, pockmarked with each thrashing intrusion budding enthusiasm, awash, boiled... suffer, oh suffer, green potato. Crinkle cut?  Jib of glut! manipulate form and function stain of starch satisfaction... coffer, oh coffer, oh cough, ahem, cough! It ain't about money. That's right, mustn't disturb the soil, So many eyes lay upon cursing skin crevices grit, pockmarked with each thrashing intrusion budding enthusiasm, awash, boiled... suffer, oh suffer, green potato. A memory, distant, the taste of that green potato rots in the kitchen... eat it, enjoy the flavour, dine on discourse... digest it, bury it deep inside, release it, let it grow again.

The coach capsized and spilled its freight, a glut of rabid reprobates, who swarm towards a sea of lights and fill their cups with harbour nights. We do not heed the lighthouse glare, or match the fortune-teller's stare. We storm the cliffs as if to pillage the gift shops of this seaside village. We mill around a restaurant's doors and nip at hot dogs with our claws. Stockpiling rock up by the stick, whilst wearing hats marked 'Kiss Me Quick'.   Because we cannot hear their cries for whispered arcade lullabies, the gulls will dance above the tide and mock sandcastle suicides. The distant fort once planted proud, clings to the hillside like a shroud. Its craggy face a last dissuasion, against the sea's saline invasion. Perhaps the Ferris wheel's arc,   can count each dawn against the dark. A spotlight shone upon each heart, as we rehearse our weathered parts. Pastime play or parlor show, we forget the lines we ought to know and stumble on with blind devotion, to pour our years into the ocean. And yet! We catch the child's smile, projected on a seafront mile. His mirth casts doubt upon the claim, that each new act concludes the same. The beach begins and ends each dance, each interval a second chance   to wake the youth we put to sleep and cast the hourglass into the deep.

Fly envious Time, till thou run out thy race, Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours, Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace; And glut thy self with what thy womb devours, Which is no more then what is false and vain, And meerly mortal dross; So little is our loss, So little is thy gain. For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb’d, And last of all, thy greedy self consum’d, Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss With an individual kiss; And Joy shall overtake us as a flood, When every thing that is sincerely good And perfectly divine, With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine About the supreme Throne Of him, t’whose happy-making sight alone, When once our heav’nly-guided soul shall clime, Then all this Earthy grosnes quit, Attir’d with Stars, we shall for ever sit, Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O Time.

On Time
In the land Of the burning tribe, Dwelt the worst of evils. A tribe Where immorality is moral And flaming human minds Can be traced. Allergic to goodness, Cancerous to strangers, Abhorrent to civilization, Glut with cheating. Pure hostility Even at jovial point And under loving atmosphere. A tribe of courtesans Where adultery is tradition, And fornication begins at ten To enhance development, For healthy living. A tribe Of awkward belief In a path of abstinence to sickness Curable with *** alone. Of what descent Are they? Too violent to exist with no regard to life. Of what mentality? When playing safe Is inhuman! And ****** Of the innocents unborn Is nothing. Spreading the virus, Never afraid to harbour it. Where is their good side? Is it unseen or extinct? If any, “ wuese te”.

how I honor you (notes from a conversation with Patti Smith) ~for Cné~ <•> honor, honor on my mind (ran into Patti Smith last night at the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District) told her honor,  honor, on my mind she said that’s why I like you city poet ”you, are a free range thinker,” when you get stuck on a bubble gum word on the sole of your shoe, you one sticky stuck poet, can’t let be freed~released till you get the *curve of the word, curve of the world, you stumble where gods get lost.   where the divisions of the subconscious thread together, and you got to peel the onion all the way back, while you cry* here is what I think about honor: *there is so much added glut in this world, honor the reader never write a word that wastes a minute of their time!”* you wrote you have only poem in you wright, and you writ it to right the world, thrice, and over and over in disguises. and sometimes, I hear, even with spaghetti sauce

how I honor you (notes from a conversation with Patti Smith)
The echoes of a generation Somehow ring of desperation It's a separate battle that I fight Kick the dirt and grind their face in Find a hole and dump the waste in Worn in the floor, I can't stop pacing Anxious thoughts are poison darts Kids with cars, they can't stop racing Oh, Mama, I'll be okay There's no reason to be this way You know in time, you'll be just fine The journey's long, I'll find my way Moderation will save our soul Excess of glut will take it's toll My body is mine, I'll take my time The consequences will unfold Life is full of pain and danger I'm learning how to cut out anger See a cliff and dive right in Let love be my float, your wisdom my anchor So, Mama, don't cry, I know my heart I know you never wanted to be apart We'll keep on dancing, find our balance The road is long, I just need to start

Aug. 10. 1653. Answer me when I call God of my righteousness; In straights and in distress Thou didst me disinthrall And set at large; now spare, Now pity me, and hear my earnest prai’r. Great ones how long will ye My glory have in scorn How long be thus forlorn Still to love vanity, To love, to seek, to prize Things false and vain and nothing else but lies? Yet know the Lord hath chose Chose to himself a part The good and meek of heart (For whom to chuse he knows) Jehovah from on high Will hear my voyce what time to him I crie. Be aw’d, and do not sin, Speak to your hearts alone, Upon your beds, each one, And be at peace within. Offer the offerings just Of righteousness and in Jehovah trust. Many there be that say Who yet will shew us good? Talking like this worlds brood; But Lord, thus let me pray, On us lift up the light Lift up the favour of thy count’nance bright. Into my heart more joy And gladness thou hast put Then when a year of glut Their stores doth over-cloy And from their plenteous grounds With vast increase their corn and wine abounds. In peace at once will I Both lay me down and sleep For thou alone dost keep Me safe where ere I lie As in a rocky Cell Thou Lord alone in safety mak’st me dwell.

Psalm 04
if you could only ease my eyes from their sockets and pop them into your own head, unfettered, you would see the truth in my words. i've gone and spilled my guts here- the letters are viscera and blood upon the page. how brave they are to carry my sentiment, how strong to bear my burdens. dig into my intestines in an effort to understand why i am leaden: they are bags of sand- or is my immobility caused by the black hole in my gut? tonight i'm the sidewalk, trodden on, grey, stained with yesterday's glut. i am sober tonight, i swear. it's you who swells and fails to understand what i am talking about. i will not watch myself fade and sink for any longer. tonight i abscond from your corner of hell. "i am the combined effort of everyone i've ever met", so baby, if i'm failing, maybe i just haven't found the right people yet. we are both responsible for this crash. you didn't start the fire, but you handed me the match. my chest cavity is hollow. my body is rotting out from beneath me. i stagger on scaly feet. when was the last time i bothered to eat? if i come home tonight, i'm bringing my army with me. tonight i'm bringing it all back. i will not face this basement without something harsh to numb the pain.

no guts, no glory
Cooling air, the senses assault Done is the day, I’ve earned my salt. Daytime light has turned on me On moonlit streets such trickery The pleasant splash, those leaves on foot Make drunk these nostrils, nectarous soot Pensive mood floods the mind And of their beauty I’m truly blind I do not think of Autumn whole Only alms within my bowl As you’ll see I’m leaf inspired Though their rudiments I have mired Autumn ring, the chilling tenors Rejoiced and played in earthly manors That icy rush makes cold the spirits Yet conflagrates ye adherents That festive smell, incense the air! No motive o’yours ever err And though the day leaves more hastily These changing leaves get the best o’me Transient seconds plump and inspir’d Of your natural portraits I’ll never tire The mountainside, my most treasur’d mosaic Whatever great works, it’s more archaic Falling to the ground, like listless colorful rain Whether as the nemophilist, or seated behind a pane These little souls returning to earth Fill me with the greatest mirth Though they exemplify an age ended Verbiage they have transcended I’d fill my days with gallery mileage Gladly glut with their splendid sillage As they flit, the stuff of dreams In their midst, pure sophrosyne. Day or night I’m overcome Eyes wide open and stricken dumb Overcome with words and tune Bursting forth, this ideal plume And like a flower, complex in bloom Can’t be captured, hemmed and hewn Vapor these words, though fall inspire’d No due medium, pen or lyre Untouchable this golden essence Wealth of ideas, gone in seconds Appropriate, it seems to me My head, my thoughts a leafy tree Arrives the autumn, gold and dun Thousands escape when I reach for one So I’ll just watch in quiet awe The beauty whole, no hem nor haw Not try to make that art my own Won’t reduce it to rhyme and tone I’ll simply revel their naïve lull Ephemeral, yes, but never dull Shout out happily in leafy halls Marry to words what return my calls Leave thou ****** in pulchritude pall And question not what comes of fall.

Day or night I’m overcome Eyes wide open and stricken dumb Overcome with words and tune Bursting forth, this ideal plume And like a flower, complex in bloom Can’t be captured, hemmed and hewn Vapor these words, though fall inspire’d No due medium, pen or lyre Untouchable this golden essence Wealth of ideas, gone in seconds Appropriate, it seems to me My head, my thoughts a leafy tree Arrives the autumn, gold and dun Thousands escape when I reach for one So I’ll just watch in quiet awe The beauty whole, no hem nor haw Not try to make that art my own Won’t reduce it to rhyme and tone I’ll simply revel their naïve lull Ephemeral, yes, but never dull Shout out happily in leafy halls Marry to words what return my calls Leave thou ****** in pulchritude pall And question not what comes of fall.

Gushing sweat .. Bare feet…. Walking on a narrow path .. Through dense forest… *Dark gray clouds.. With roaring sound.. Deepening night… Glut with fear…* Trying to speed up in vain Restlessly walking in .. Strange grove.. Wounded soul.. *Faded vision, tired …hopeless… In vain Peeping into the darkness.. Looking up…towards the  dark sky.. Feeling hollow ..want to cry ..* But will never  .. Give away hope… Will come out .. From all miseries and soup..                               deovrat - 20.02.2015  (c)

Never Give-up Hope
das helle Licht, der nahe Sommer die zarte Fröhlichkeit blühender ****** das schmeichelnde Lächeln meiner Wut die monotone Stille, der Sehnsucht Glut zu dir ich liege ich stocke ich stolpere du sehnst du redest du willst zu mir das helle Sein, meiner vollen Seele deine nahe Stimme deine Gedanken und Pläne durch das verstaubte Fenster hellgrüne, verwirrte Blätter ranken Licht fällt gebrochen auf meine Hand du bist so fern, ich sehe dich nicht wie Gedanken versanken auf Blättern auf Wiesen in Wörtern und Träumen was für ein schlimmes Gedicht

WEGE DER SENSUECHTIGKEIT II
Gracious patience at my feet White shadows ride Gliding downward to meet Arrows tide The hardest part Science of love Stardust apart Alliance from above Snapping free of soul What I got wrong Wrapping that love whole Glut neigh brought song Bleed your heart over the side Cede war art nationwide
