"gurgle" poems
54 If I should die, And you should live— And time should gurgle on— And morn should beam— And noon should burn— As it has usual done— If Birds should build as early And Bees as bustling go— One might depart at option From enterprise below! ’Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand When we with Daisies lie— That Commerce will continue— And Trades as briskly fly— It makes the parting tranquil And keeps the soul serene— That gentlemen so sprightly Conduct the pleasing scene!

If I should die
All strung out        on sadness, empty shells of needles       that injected the next defense       to keep me going splayed upon the coldness             of metal somewhere in a place lower than the floorboards of the nether regions of a private hell, where no one sees       the truth behind the doors of            beaten swords of silken pictures in frothy shades of effervescent green a smiling happy family in which the sounds of drowning can only be              vaguely heard a faded gurgle        in an ocean of sighs Somewhere, there, the pain in my veins spreads like a self-administered                        drug only it's not my prescription, at all just a parody from the very     sick doctor who shares           this house, meant to be a home one who thinks he knows it all but knows nothing In this dreamlike weaving of staring blankly into alternative spaces when all is so heavy that even breathing is a task I suddenly remember    who the **** I am and push my gaze through the ceiling cracks to look up at          the stars, receiving their             shadows            of light       like a blessing    upon my    nettle-stung     tongue and        rise

Earthquake Poem 3/5/2014 What do you suppose an earthquake does? Sure, there are the shakes and scares, Seismic shifts accompanied by tectonic tears. But ditch this global perspective, Figure out what rips those ripples, detective. Let’s see you pound at the ground. Hit it hard, ‘til you hear a heavy sound. Is that enough to fissure some asphalt? Tell me, could you bring this spinning planet to a sudden halt? I can’t say for sure, what an Earth-quake does. Though I’ve been a victim, Earth isn’t where my quake was. An Earth-less earthquake, On a planet whose name I’ve learned to forsake. Wynn’s world wandered ‘round someone else’s orbit: Drawn to its gravity like grapes grow on a vine; Brightened by its solar system’s shining smile, so divine; Emotional tides tugged in and out; Guided by its mysterious moon’s midnight meandering about. That’s right – an orbit with its own time flow. Time that could stomp its heels and steal a spotlight, Time that could manipulate a moment like jello, mayonnaise, or some other squishy substance, Time that could crash course, while standing still, Time that could reveal something you never knew. What do you suppose an earthquake does? A quake could be anything that makes you shake. Think of quaking in fear, as an unknown figure draws near. Think of a jittery heart, that’s been bit by a bullet. Internal tears, think of organs bleeding, Think of needing, solid ground, but falling and time keeps stalling. When a quiet little quiver promises to deliver, its slight shock signal straight through the middle. When a molten magma core fizzes its manic madness, like a shaken soda. When an epic eruption carries out its upward excelsior, Rejecting the spinning without a stop. Oh, the mountains will tumble, The hills and valleys, they’ll crumble, And gurgle in the raging rivers’ rumble, As volcanoes churn out violent bubbles, Stirring up all kinds of troubles, For one person’s personal planet. For one person’s personal planet, These violent forces of nature can’t compare to an Earth-quake, When the ground you stand on begins to break, When you realize your senseless stability is fake. When that little quake knocks your Earth awake, It’s reality coming alive to take, and take, and take, Because for love, you put everything at stake. What do you suppose an earthquake does? I’ll tell you – it leaves a wrecked world with a cracked core and scorched surroundings. Just because. Just because, love on Earth always comes with a quiet little quake.

liar liar!!!
On cold, October evenings, you can hear the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind. Your neighbor's dog barking with an echo down the street. The giggling of children as they play games under the glow of dim street lights. You are not alone. And then there's the sunset, Colors grazing what is left of the autumn leaves on the trees, it is time for you to situate yourself back into your home. There's a quietness to your house; bodies lingering nearby but don't present themselves. You scale the stairs that creak with each step like an eerie tune that brings brief life into the home. Bristly fur of a cat brushes against your goose bumped skin. You are not alone. The stillness of your bedroom, The hall light peeking through from under your closed door creating shadows in the darkness. The light representing someone is still awake in the quiet house as you're trying to close your eyes and shut off your thoughts. Quiet sobbing turned into hyperventilating as the blanket you're clutching, crumples as your grip tightens. You feel cold and helpless fighting internally with the dark shadows making their way into your mind. Your gasping breaths are abruptly stopped by the beat of rushed footsteps. The swinging open of your door creates a wave of light that masks out the nothingness in your room. Their arms wrapping tightly around your shaking body, as you gurgle your fears out of your throat, is that warmth you craved. "You are not alone."

You Are Not Alone.
Waiting for the train to go or the bus to come Or for the plane to go or the mail to come Waiting for the phone to ring Or for the day we become king Waiting for it to rain or snow Or for that river to gurgle and flow Waiting for the answer yes or no Or for the day we can visit the places we want to go Waiting for the day we meet the one Or for the time we make a home run Waiting for the good news Or for the day we don't make  an excuse Waiting for the light to change from red Or for the roads that lie  ahead Waiting for our health to get better Or for the that acceptance letter Waiting for  the day we can retire Or to feel inspired Waiting for the right guidance to come our way Or for the day everything will be okay Waiting for those fights to end Or for the day we won't have to pretend Waiting for things to happen , we all have a queue Or maybe we should stop waiting and just do.

Waiting For
**via woodland trail, along deciduous dale amid a rocky terrain, through geographic chicane meandrous no longer, smoky waters beleaguered upwelling they burble, in deep tracts they gurgle hypnotic they swirl, then turgidly whorl the rivers egress, from caverns sub-aqueous bereft of surrender, outpours now in splendour the Wharfe expelled from the strid. ...   ...   ...**

... Yorkshire Strid [the] ...
Gripping ***** locks knotted to his scalp, she kicks him to the road. Glass bottle bits scrabbling under his fingernails; he yelps, dragging away. Their pressed flower daughter clings to the soot-stained wall. She tiptoes his nape into the pavement, drawing a gag and gurgle bubbling out of his throat. Two fingers pull his nose, resting his teeth on the curb. An incisor plinks to the girl’s feet. She hugs it as close as a home.

The Dentist
Ancient doors creak and groan scraping back the dust of ages gone A formidable sight... like standing guardians since time immortal Slinking in past swirling fog I pause to calm my fear adding strength to resolve when suddenly... a deafening voice ERUPTS with EXACTING FASTIDIOUS truths Solid ground shatters beneath me... I hover helplessly Below me... a noxious boiling maelstrom The voice of truth EXPLODES from above ECHOing my 'Every Sin' the resounding shock-waves drive me down Legs lifted high to avoid the searing pain then a tangle of blistered hands reach out and drag me within the churning inferno Blinding spin and unbearable suction envelope Scream fades to gurgle Unconsciousness welcome though never met The searing pain still rising yet Each fibre ripped apart to molecular particle Riding the vortex of purification Separating sins from soul Finally Cast out and caught yet again by the uterine web with the voice of truth still taunting ... " BETTER LUCK THIS TIME "

There's a sharp frosty switchback that never sees the sun in winter skies of blue. The frost heave cut-bank rocks tumble down to the side of the road,  in the ice shard mottled ditch lay frozen stiff Tall Sitka spruce marbled gray shadows mat the sparsely traveled   corridor, paved with potholes, where the roads have no names Sometimes listening quietly to the bare stillness, there are   rhetorical questions heard in the silent reverie's say:                         "Have you ever been afraid?" The tree-line gaps above the jagged gray stone ravine, disappearing   down the rugged mountain shade, falling into the pillow-top fog bank blanketing the canyon's murmurs below — headed towards the ocean Crystalline spring waters gurgle up roadside — out of nowhere,   where tired boots stand in reverent contemplation as it all sings out  harmoniously to the trees in the key of silence;   it was there   in a gust of restless forbearance heard the frozen peacefulness  say:                          "Have you ever felt alone?" Gathering a deep breath of marbled gray shadows, silence bears   a loud holler's scorn — echoing back and forth down canyon walls, with the spirit of a voice a multitude strong,  evanescent                              as winter's outgoing tide.                       January 2019 — Jesse Stillwater

winter silence echoes
i am holding an axe... empty towers stand tall in snow - yet still i climb , (each step) — like a toy upon a shelf (i am freezing)/ when you rip the stuffing out of me and try to sew me shut , but the wound is not healing (it never will) and the walls get stained with nicotine:: (i miss when they were white) when i come back to, i am lost - scared (because it is dark) . i try to howl , gurgle instead: and then i start to weep- (and my tears all freeze like little pearls) . . when i look for them again, (those girls) they have turned into wolves (i remember my axe) and they look me in my eyes — glimmering// so spit on me, again, i say i dare you — this time, i am not afraid to bite. (they do not come back for me) .

i am carrying an axe as i walk through the snow
I hurt with the pleasure of carving knives plunged into blood-lusting hands. Standing in the storm of stab wounds and searching for Gods dressed in human to give me mental medicine for wounds that they must trust me to see. I am the glass-tongued mediator. I am the vortex that turns worlds to ink-soaked scenery and words to black noise. They gurgle out blandishments like they're true! And to them, I'm a glass door to better days; they put their famished hands onto my handle and tug for good luck. I open and warble out what they want to hear; a fortune teller who cries courtesies and fills her glass ball with a concoction of tears and liquid caution. I don't want to lose them. But I choke on their distorted, glazed looks, I stuff my throat with gauze, my chest fills with blood as they throw their clocks into the garbage and raise me on glass pedestals and drool praises as I cry for me and for them and for us and for- Useless. I am useless. Wasteful. I am wasteful. Broken. I am and should be broken. Did anyone ever realize? How would they when I am so selfishly unselfish?

Somewhere in this town there is man with his feet bare. He has spent the last hour staring at his toothbrush and trying to remember how to leave this room. His fists hold fingers that are twisted into paleness: Like jaws too small for adult teeth. The bathtub gapes up at him, yawning in his peripheral vision, He remembers that two feet are just as good as six when it comes to sinking. He never did learn how to swim, but Like a fish out of water knows The sea can make short work of accidental sailors And the gurgle of a tap can sound like the tide coming in. The bathroom mirror is not kind to him: His imperfections make apologies he simply won’t accept. Ribs forming corrugations on his t-shirt, as though his bones are trying to escape from the confines of his skin. The porcelain lip of the sink continues to pout, its expression a perfect ‘O’. The plughole is wearing lipstick today; blood red, As it has been every day of this week. Thoughts are like spiders webs, he thinks, constructed by moonlight then torn down in the morning Occasionally he’ll still catch the dew. In the sterile light of an eco friendly bulb, he holds the mirror back with both hands, one hinge broken. He wears his heart on his sleeve, cufflinks cutting off his circulation. In the shadow of the cabinet, are kept row after row of soldiers he uses to fight off his demons And below that another regiment to handle the effects of the others. He says, “All I am now is a synonym; and alternative to what I used to be.” As alive is in likeness to living. As the sun is, to the infertile glow of his grandfathers TV.

The gurgle of the coffee maker, The clink of your spoon on the frigid counter, The sizzle of bacon residue in a frying pan, and an egg cracking over it. The murmurs of the news reporters on the tv, The distant roar of a train in the background, The dive into sensory pleasure, while reality dissipates. The smell of hazelnut creamer and cinnamon, The taste of a waffle with buttery syrup, The warm sun on your face through the window, today is good; today will be different. The giggles of the waffles and coffee, The light conversation and hard laughter, The feeling of home... within them, a sudden shift in atmosphere. The sharp loss of appetite The grieving of what wasn’t lost The shared remorse for nothing you’ve done they tell you that you’re pathetic. The despair in your mug dropping into the table The swallowed tears and screams The chaos that covers every square inch of you distance between you and hope still stands. The ***** kitchen and your empty stomach The distressing moonlight that creeps in the window The anger in thinking you’re liberated this time sounds of an empty home stir. The cold seats that have accompanied nobody The wallowing roar of silence The jacket of despair that wears you your average day.

Your average day
I saw the smooth hands of children grow calloused, sanded by the empty hopes that the cold has whittled down and sharpened into crucifixion nails. Dragging their feet through broken glass and street waste, one shoe one sock, I thought they were just urban children, or the ones in malaria countries. But I see them stagger now, older, defeated baring their bodies and chewing on their brains, teaching the little ones how to polish shoes and hide in alleys that smell like **** and assault. That one looks like me, his guardian about my size, so I pull my coat closer. I recognize him from school in the smell of unwashed hair and the gurgle of A self-digesting gut, nothing to soak up the acid that burns his throat. I watched the world ******* them into hunched shoulders and boney legs that have forgotten how to hug and run, trapping them in a constant state of shuffling to the music of moans and cries for help. They come together in an urchin clan underneath bridges and on the exit ramps of highways. Prophets of the future clutching at signs about war and veterans, the bad economy and the children they can’t feed. Ten dollars to the one with the mut. Offer him a smoke. Politicians act like clean-up crews, counting them like statistics; This one is gone, the one on Brown street died, We got rid of the one looking for cans in the student neighborhood. Charity elevates them into a an opportunity— A little money to the unfortunate is like bleach for your soul. Just enough to get the smell of affair out of your hair, or to clean up the poison in your veins. God helps the outcasts; five dollars ought to do it. I shudder at our similarities. Brown hair, brown eyes, smart. His sign ignores no rules of grammar and deserve credit for its precise calligraphy, The dog at his side is ***** and worn like the stuffed toy I covet from the nights in my crib—the same. He is a victim of people, I am a victim of people Both someone’s child, both like dogs. I watch as he turns into a younger man, and then an old man, and then a woman, A child with no shoes and crucified hands, the boy in my class with eyes that devour. I walk home, wondering what kind of charity will save me from myself. And that is the problem.

Rise softly, rise gently, waking dawn And let the drowsy sun yawn a while Beside me, my love sleeps in peaceful bliss With crescent eyes and a crescent smile The morning breeze may tease the blooms That wait to unfold with the sun's blush - But softly, blow gently, oh morning breeze Let the wind chimes be still, quiet, hushed Rest your melodies, singing birds and bees And cease the fluttering of your wings The hum, the drone, the medleys Quiet the rustling and the whispering Why gurgle so loud - river- change your course Flow far away, past the mangroves For how lustily you gush, bubbles and froth Shhshh...love sleeps - eyes closed But alas - the river stays, making its music The birds from their songs shall never cease And the morning breeze breathes free Tinkling wind chimes, hustling leaves Rise - the sun shall and burst in gold And the world'll be in daylight's warm embrace My love will waken yet I still revel - For sun lights the grace of my love's face

Rise slowly dawn, my love sleeps (aubade)
your daughter is infected; writhing as she sleeps in too-thin-skin, afraid the already permeable peach might catch, impaled by some night terror inching out under her eardrums and eyelids. any other orifice blackened with rot, and skin crawling with creeping creatures, cutting comfortable dugouts and sleeping quarters in her heels, beginning to pull and tear as one-by-one pests patrolled her leg bones. cauldron of guts, blood, oil, trouble and toil, stirred to churn, to gurgle; Out from up her hip bones the maggots marched, All her demons expurgated, Slithering out and flicking forked tails, Winking kisses with blind eyes

Wilting before womanhood; Rotting, really.
Dad spoke of his father today. I listened with Friday Beer breath and keen Ears, as he said: *I hope to God your brother And you won't remember Me as a **** Fool when I'm gone,* Then coughed that gurgle-rasp That promises significant Changes in a son's Life within Not too distant a Future. Those **** cigarettes. Half a lung gone, surgery Scar a part of that back That I remember I thought Would carry me Forever. We never spoke too emotionally. He does it more and More, and all I can do is Prepare, And to speak such truths as: *Dad. You've impressed our Friends, charmed our women, Driven us through snow storms And late nights To get us to -or home from- either. Fed us, chopped wood through Summers to keep us warm through Winters. Taught us languages and carpentry, History and poetry, Classical wrestling and chivalry. You've made us laugh since Before we knew how to. I think of you whenever I smell Sawdust, new guitar strings, and smoke* (Only minutes old, his cough Was the first sound I reacted to...) *Your memory is safe. Whenever your time comes To leave us to the strength of our Own arms and souls, Trust that your rest is well earned.* He laughed a little,   Eyes wet from coughing And whatever. I could die content tomorrow,   Having told him. Some giants don't fall. They just lie down. Not to wither away and die. But to retire, The way oak trees, Mountains, revolutionary ideas And gods Retire.

Classical Wrestling and Chivalry
All sounds have been as music to my listening: Pacific lamentations of slow bells, The crunch of boots on blue snow rosy-glistening, Shuffle of autumn leaves; and all farewells: Bugles that sadden all the evening air, And country bells clamouring their last appeals Before [the] music of the evening prayer; Bridges, sonorous under carriage wheels. Gurgle of sluicing surge through hollow rocks, The gluttonous lapping of the waves on weeds, Whisper of grass; the myriad-tinkling flocks, The warbling drawl of flutes and shepherds' reeds. The orchestral noises of October nights Blowing ( ) symphonetic storms Of startled clarions ( ) Drums, rumbling and rolling thunderous and ( ). Thrilling of throstles in the keen blue dawn, Bees fumbling and fuming over sainfoin-fields.

(insert generic death metal song title here one) Human blood bath Soak in ********* and human waste Got a taste for the diseased human race Acid melting face Drink from the spewing flesh Gurgle and gargle to the dying beat Of a victims last gulp of tarnished breath (insert generic death metal song title here two) Skull cracked and bleeding Blood **** filled wounds seeping Immaculate Christ unjaded Aborted abortion Born and bathed in afterbirth Blown and constipated in foreign ***** matter Torn from arms of zombie flesh Decaying in the hot summer sun Baked in the hot summer sun (insert generic death metal song title here three) Trash my intended victim with nothing better to do Than torture **** **** and torture some more Death does not last in the flesh Emancipated from life Just a breath away from dying Hang on to the threads of the noose Strangulating the frustrating last gasp of air Torture **** **** and torture some more Out of boredom and out of time Boredom kills You better watch out I’m coming for you (insert generic death metal song title here four) Hollow eye sockets Wretched Reeking Filthy **** Plastered on crimson caked hands ****** dirt beneath the fingernails Scratches scraped in the walls From bodies dragged thru the hall Down the stairs to the killing room Meat hook art show of disembodied And disemboweled corpses Dismembered in some horrorshow freakshow Bowl of human remains cooked on the stove For this years All-You-Can-Eat chili fest Lick savory lips with salted tongue Hunger pains from cannibalistic urges The brain tastes best when paired with a good wine Eat, drink, and be merry Tomorrow you’re on the menu

*dive.. dive.. dive* 1. I am eating fog on this pre-dawn bridge an overcoat of no particular mood      keeping intact considered-sincerity of warmth      inhaling air tight with thin droplets the c-cold of someone's click-clack in the distance only an echo of studious-oblivion glancing over the rail as the water swirls, dense the silent hum of a slow-passing vehicle windows darkly stare I wonder who'd possibly be passing by here and would they be connecting with that swirl, too 2. there must be a walrus under there          (shrinking-violet, that it is) its projections long and probably needing plumbs the departing fingers of night gnaw attempt to steal what little shelters here consent delayed by vertical-curses in bloom and I'm thinking of a cat I used to have who certainly didn't favour water protests become latent-airborne, take off as screeching squawks swoop by hungry heartbeats gurgle, drip valiant station within view.. phew, made it! *an accordion starts to play.. an elegy fit for a dive.* st64, 3 April 2014

dive
Does anyone here know of a canine murderer? As I urgently need someone to bash the living **** out of My fat ugly neighbour's disgusting Yorkshire terrier. Oh Holy God, How I want the little ******* mutt to suffer. I’d love to see it choking and coughing its head off; Yorkshire terriers are the most repulsive things since sliced bread, Yappy, repellent smelly little ***** of malevolent fur. They only appeal when wriggling feebly at a rope’s end. Woof! Woof! Woof! Gurgle! Gurgle! Silence.

Yorkie On A String
He is suffering The tell tale signs of decay setting in It's all I can do to not break down Five hours later Gentle hum and gurgle of breathing treatment Wakes me from dreams of good-bye Sweet and gentle but suffocating Do you even know I am here anymore? Two days later I can hear them whispering outside He's too fragile, not much else we can do My voice catches in my throat yearning to rail at them HOW DARE YOU GIVE UP! His breath still draws and my hands are fighting The failings of a weak condition paired with bacterial war are too much to bare. Go home babe. Sleep with the angels for I cannot be selfish and keep you here so tortured. I never let go.
