"hammering" poems
An early evening gust broke the back of the day's blaze Still 90 degrees at eight in orange haze Sweat runs down my neck Through the gorge between my ******* The wind lifts my linen shirt runs its hands along my sides reviving memory of Forest Park of a blanket in the grass Where the pines trace so many faces Crackling popping kids stolen matches, running screaming victorious! Blowing tin cans up with fire crackers Bicycles, sparklers, fireworks at dusk That whole afternoon I spent hammering caps Noise really makes us kids really especially annoying Mom wants us out! Gone! All of us! No needs. No excuses! No cookies! No slices of bologna! “No more Kool Aid! Out now! Out!” That evening I tried to dismiss the itchy sweat of stupid-sister-Suzy-matching-sun-suits at Gino's family picnic When some kid (I don't know?) between the rigatoni and the sweet corn Some kid tosses a sparkler into box of fireworks I don't know? whether to cry or laugh I was pretty scared Rockets going off across the lawn and onto porch Craze of colors through the trees Some at eye-level horror! But the sight of Aunt Nedda diving under picnic table Stockings, garter belt upended Capsized beyond her caring of uplifted dress Some images just stay with you, ya know? July 4th always lands for me on a firework's ***

July 4th Memories that Last
Glassed with cold sleep and dazzled by the moon, out of the confused hammering dark of the train I looked and saw under the moon's cold sheet your delicate dry ******* country that built my heart; and the small trees on their uncoloured slope like poetry moved, articulate and sharp and purposeful under the great dry flight of air, under the crosswise currents of wind and star. Clench down your strength, box-tree and ironbark. Break with your violent root the ****** rock. Draw from the flying dark its breath of dew till the unliving come to life in you. Be over the blind rock a skin of sense, under the barren height a slender dance... I woke and saw the dark small trees that burn suddenly into flowers more lovely that the white moon.

Train Journey
With each CLICK Our breath is held Will he,won't he Will he, won't he The suspense is killing me And....SHIT Door left open still Pestered by the plebeian chill In this gay little coffee shop Surrounded by the unrecognised talent of Brighton:sketch artist staring at me, writer on his laptop, songwriter etching vigorously with his pencil. All of which aren't closing the door. The eyes roll. Labouring my body up, hammering my legs across the floor, turning the factory handle. All is ask is for some carrot cake,filtrate water,polo jumpers, avocado salads,tiger bread, slimmer trousers, slipper sock , a toyger. Click And then images of Kim Jong un pass through my head. If I ruled you'd all be dead Firing squad for an open door, Loud music on the train'll be no more. Stop the screaming misbehaving brats The rabble of Spanish students All this PC stuff on the news, train seats filled with cans of ***** Suddenly The artist strolls up Let's down his cup. Closes the door swiftly And slips back in his chair Oh, so there is a god. I guess Jesus didn't lie.

Cake and Class
Spinning chairs, crashing Dollars bills, in a G-string Face hammering, by sweaty sticky ***** cheeks Plastic suitcases, held tightly Chug your drink it's time to leave Walk cautiously, drink powefully Ting, ting, goes the machine She winked at her, she pinched back He said let's go Their room opening Laying, the mysterious women on the bed He grabbed her hips His wife watched, caressing her **** Door goes cold Sun shining brightly Eyes being punctured into gaping holes Cheesy over done smile, stepping into the livingroom floor Perfect outstanding family Morally hidden, detrimental corrupting Their professional suits, look so clean Appearance is everything

Corrupted is the new happy
buzzzzzzz The bus engine idles Intensifying the hammering of little gnomes On my skull Their tin mallets **** dinking* incessantly Throbbing Painful numb as waves crash to escape The confines of my head A small clownfish throwing his tiny body Against the walls again And again And again ba-dump ba-dump ba-dump The bus hits three large bumps in a row Jostling and jolting me into excruciating confusion So tired and so alert Drifting off to consciousness I have got to escape this headache...

the tin mallets of headache gnomes
There's an item that's truly essential Of a roughly cylindrical frame It's a marvel of modern invention And a legend it duly became It surpasses the birth of electric And eclipses the slicing of bread If it wasn't for this innovation Then I think I would surely be dead Oh, Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Stick with me Fix my wardrobe Effortlessly Hold up the curtains Wax my thighs Gaffer-tape Gaffer-tape Improvise It's useful for picking up hamsters And it serves as a passable tie As a gag for a amateur gangster Or the crust of a blueberry pie For a mite of podiatry pleasure You can use it for mending your socks If Pandora had come up against it Then she'd never have opened her box Oh, Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Holding fast Adhesive savior Unsurpassed Smooth as mirror glass Diamond tough Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Marvelous stuff It's bringing our nations together And it's holding them firmly in place You can use it to pull back your wrinkles For a genuine Hollywood face It'd surely have saved the Titanic And they took seven rolls to the moon Keep it near and be calm in a crisis And predicaments inopportune Oh, Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Mending sails If you're tired Of hammering nails Buy some now It's a thing to behold Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Solid gold

Gaffer-Tape
Shadows on the wall Leather puppet laughter seeping through the ground Javanese man long buried is uncovered by the puppet dance The hammering sounds of the gamelon orchestra move like vapors through the blood vipers through the ground Shadows on the wall Our shadows like puppets we are watched The darkness hides the real figures We see the shadows only our shadows Dancing on the wall The audience laughs from the wall We see ourselves sitting The wall is everywhere

The Shadow Puppet (Jogjakarta)
The tractor stands frozen - an agony To think of. All night Snow packed its open entrails. Now a head-pincering gale, A spill of molten ice, smoking snow, Pours into its steel. At white heat of numbness it stands In the aimed hosing of ground-level fieriness. It defied flesh and won't start. Hands are like wounds already Inside armour gloves, and feet are unbelievable As if the toe-nails were all just torn off. I stare at it in hatred. Beyond it The copse hisses - capitulates miserably In the fleeing, failing light. Starlings, A dirtier sleetier snow, blow smokily, unendingly, over Towards plantations Eastward. All the time the tractor is sinking Through the degrees, deepening Into its hell of ice. The starting lever Cracks its action, like a snapping knuckle. The battery is alive - but like a lamb Trying to nudge its solid-frozen mother - While the seat claims my buttock-bones, bites With the space-cold of earth, which it has joined In one solid lump. I squirt commercial sure-fire Down the black throat - it just coughs. It ridicules me - a trap of iron stupidity I've stepped into. I drive the battery As if I were hammering and hammering The frozen arrangement to pieces with a hammer And it jabbers laughing pain-crying mockingly Into happy life. And stands Shuddering itself full of heat, seeming to enlarge slowly Like a demon demonstrating A more-than-usually-complete materialization - Suddenly it jerks from its solidarity With the concrete, and lurches towards a stanchion Bursting with superhuman well-being and abandon Shouting Where Where? Worse iron is waiting. Power-lift kneels Levers awake imprisoned deadweight, Shackle-pins bedded in cast-iron cow-shit. The blind and vibrating condemned obedience Of iron to the cruelty of iron, Wheels screeched out of their night-locks - Fingers Among the tormented Tonnage and burning of iron Eyes Weeping in the wind of chloroform And the tractor, streaming with sweat, Raging and trembling and rejoicing.

I once had a lover that on the most ordinary of days Out shopping for underwear Looked at my reflection in the mirror and said I love the boy in you And I love the girl in you And everything in between Later they asked me what love is And I said I think that's what love is Seeing everything in between the reflection Seeing somebody clearer than they see themselves I said tell Me you love every piece of me The skin I shed The skin that hates this chest The “it's a boy” they never said The “I love yous” they never meant I've spent so much time trying to find the in between where there's no haircuts Or funny ways of dressing Or anything confusing about my chest I'll just keep choosing to ignore the way they say You're so beautiful In the same breath as potential As if it's a credential for my anatomy Instead tell me I'm the cutest boy you've ever had in your bed Tell me my body isn't woman it's just the wild Tell me flesh is nothing I'm made of light Tell me my light is beautiful Touch my soft Touch my belly button but not like they ever touched me Touch me like I'm the kind of soft that can turn hard A tin roof against the rain Beating a thunderstorms refrain into music They told me I have too much bark Too much bite I'm too pretty to fight So tell me instead I'm the softest pebble you've ever skipped across your body And ripples are born of my feathered fists and my hammering heart Tell me softness has no gender Tell me our body's never knew what gender meant I want to be gender bent over till it breaks And takes the freighttrain words of haters But don't you cringe under the jagged teeth of their stares **** my love into your body and hold it there Always write a poem in my body And use the words they spit at us But instead infuse them with a welcome song to tell my body it's found home Everything we do rhymes with ****** rhymes with **** rhymes with queer These labels belong to us The fear in these labels does not belong to us I'm here to witness you try to live in a body you call home without trying to run away I wish my body was made of clay so I could fit it into the box labeled “I love you no matter what” Will you love me no matter what If I want you to bend me over backwards until I break the reflection the mirror tries to make of me And find it's just glass Like my see through skin Try to see through my skin Tell me you see me I'll see every piece of you Soft Hard Apart Together Girl Boy But never in a box I'll take that box labeled “I'll love you no matter what” and I'll break it down Leave that truth around your bones Until you believe it can't break That truth will be our home and we can live in that between because that's where love is.

Seeing you first thing in the morning is like looking through a kaleidoscope. I cant really tell what I'm looking at because my vision is so blurry, but-my god is it beautiful. I don't get to wake up to you as often as I'd like. But when I do, I look to my left, or to my right- depending on how much shifting I've done in the middle of the night- and I say.. "Oh goodness, this pillow looks like her." But then I realize that it is you. I had just forgotten where I am because waking up to you is so abnormal. Then- What comes next is the wave of nerves, and I mean WAVE OF NERVES- that comes over me when you purse your lips- trying not to smile back at me. I can't help- but to throw at you, an endless string of generic compliments- like- "You are, so beautiful" Or- "You look so good without makeup" But they aren't generic to me- Because they are true. But then I say something really ******* stupid. Like- "Your nails....... feel like.. nails" Ironically- Nails, is a word with a couple different meanings. Like- Fingernails. Hammer and nails. And like how I just nailed you. But hey- I put just as much time nailing you, as a man would, hammering nails into the beams of a house that he is building for his own family. Not that you took a really long time- Or I want to put a family inside you- But- You are a masterpiece. What I'm trying to say, Is that aside from your brilliant mental composure- Your thousands of beautiful blurry reflective faces- And your superb taste in men- Example being me... You are wonderful, And I look forward to building more houses with you in the future. We could have a castle with a mote. We can have a pet dragon. As long as I have light- And a thousand busted mirrors in a tube- I will be yours. Even if the kaleidoscope doesn't see that far. I will be yours.

The fans rattling again. It's not the only thing shaking in the darkness. But it's making such a loud racket. I keep it on anyway. I'm afraid the silence will **** me. I fight sleep like it's tangible. You're always waiting there. Just past consciousness, standing in the shadows. It's always the same. Your backs to me and it will stay that way. We're standing in a light rain, the sun just faded. I know every second that's about to happen, yet every time it's like a new cut, over and over. I say all the same words. I say all different ones. It never matters. This story has unfolded a thousand times. But it's different every time. Sometimes I chase you. Sometimes I scream. Sometimes I beg. And curse. Sometimes it's you instead. You won't look at me because hope is a deadly thing to give. You know I'll always tell myself its there. We all see what we want. Especially when we don't want what we see. Back in the dream, it's coming. The part that will sit in the bottom of my soul. Gathering weight, gathering dust. You're in front of me, but you couldn't be further away. I'm on my knees. A promise on my lips. A disaster in my heart. You step away. One step, two, four. Someone has been hammering my chest. I'm awake. Stuttered whirs of a broken fan. The long length of the night stretched out in front of me. It's only been an hour.

An Hour
Black spiderweb lashes Drifting down Red hashed vessels Hidden from crowds Pulsing lights Heartbeat sounds Arms and soul moving Rhythm that pounds Hands are grabbing Wanting more The soul says free me Let me soar It's about the beat The ups and the downs Feel the music Hear the sound Not just the sound The hammering beat The vibrating floor The people heat The sweat The pain The tears The rain The heat, hot liquid Dripping through veins New life given To soulless names Nameless faces Passing through crowds The beat is all that matters now The beat, the heat. The bounce, the crowd They all become one, somehow You grind, you bend, you sit, you stand You run the heat Then you die with the band

Spiderweb Lashes
Walls and gates kept her away from what she needed but didn't want Beds of white cotton submerged in what she thought she didn't feel Dusty pens in a dusty cup on a dusty desk She hammered at armor that she had been hammering at for years since she was a young child binding the pieces but secretly looking for cracks to break out of Kicking *** and taking names but throwing the names away Ripping keys out of the typewriter Every fifth letter scratched into porcelain skin Soap stripping her of what made her normal But there is no normal She was still abnormal Trying to open herself to let the oxygen-free blood stain her outline so she could be seen for a moment Just one moment and then get erased by everyone else like always She wanted to fly and shine but there were others already shining and flying Sun flashing and illuminating her skeleton Her skin transparent while lit by the sun Her heartbeat skipped and stopped and faltered She tried to lose herself in everything she could You could say she was selfish but you could say she just wanted to be found, though, by the right person There is no right person because anyone can break a shell but nobody cares enough to see what kind of radiance will light up the universe Nobody cares that with every single word she is thrown through windshields Shards of glass scathing her inside and out Drowning in pristine lakes of beautiful love and joy How painful to not be able to inhale while drowning in pristine lakes of lovely happiness She could feel the currents rushing past her fingers but couldnt hold on But she wanted to She wanted to hold on

Eros In my soul Taking my breath Thrumming in my heart Eros In your touch The flitting-fondness of skin to skin Sweat, beaded-trickle down Salted flesh Curly topped, flayed on satin Eros In your taste The sweet tangle of tongue Twisted-cheeky Raspberried laughter Eros In the presence of your wit The clever-confines of your mind Depressed-displacement of your thought Sophia Eros From one being to another Thundering Chaotic in my breast Burning my throat Scalding-stinging Across the distance Eros In the silence of contentment With arms wrapped Smooth Held close to the rhythm of your light The hammering of blood Pacing Pitter      Patter         Sluggish-slowing Lull of sleep Eros, even in my dreams Σε στιγμές σαν και αυτές που φέρνουν μου όλου του κόσμου για να γονατίσει (In moments like these you bring my whole world to its knees.)

My last neighbours made no noise at all never knew they were there. But they passed away completely quiet nothing to disturb me. It did not last a new neighbour arrived my tranquillity deprived! At first not much sound came from next door hoping it would quieten down. Then louder noises emanated in the wall hammering sounds too. Worried I knocked their door to complain from anger I tried to refrain! Never a reply but a lot of vehicles came after dark many arrived and went. Few if any ever during those daylight hours when black curtains were shut. A nasty smell started to make me feel ill something burnt on a grill! I hadn't believed in vampires until the neighbour moved in next door! From then on my windows stayed tightly shut who would believe me? No animals came near which was a good thing but what would the future bring? The noises got worse even afraid to sleep an atmosphere so grim! In the end I had to leave while I could as people began to disappear! I knew what my neighbour was next to me but would they let me be? For a long time after I saw bats above my head was it my neighbour one of the undead? The Foureyed Poet.

The New Neighbour
Winding down the alleyways, Climbing up the walls, Delivering their urgent schemes, Yelling down the halls, Hammering on all the drums, And pounding on the gongs, Calling out my burning thrums, And writing all my songs, Small things- all things, These cause my ways.

Hammers
You look at the sky. You see a vast open mirage cascaded in a warm royal blanket, with silver clouds that linger above your every thought. I see something different. I see a beautiful visual distinction of everyone's plausible possibilities. The single flap of a budding bird, taking off into life's flight. The sensational physical reaction of a rain droplet exuberating onto skin. A natural epiphany. The unyielding bolts of light hammering from up above, turning specks of sand into timeless memories. I see a never ending scape of clarity. An omnipotent place of livability that stretches to the heavens, just a piece of what might be in store.

christ in the desert no.45
Customers have torn open the Christmas chocolates. Shoving it in mouths, shopping bags, children’s eyes. Quiet. We are shopping. as. a. family. Smoke accordions out of Santa’s mailbox. The sprinkler system hisses stale air. Custodians ride by on their metal cart laughing, sanitation chemicals flickering out of buckets. The 80 year-old piano player is hammering out Schoenberg. Customers shove lamps into their shopping bags, shove children into them. Turn on the light Jimmy. The ninth floor is barricaded off by old woman. They have turned the clearance divans on their sides and are throwing toasters. Down in the basement, the security staff have locked themselves into 2’ by 2’ cells. Fetally-positioned, their panting echoes off stone walls. Static sizzles on the array of sixteen camera screens. Customers have begin to bow in the reinforced door next to the two-way mirror. A fat man is leaning against it. He has been dead for over an hour. Restaurant staff are tearing down the great tree. Ornaments funnel down pop-crashing upwards from the floor. Three pound ceramic dinnerware crashes into the walnut bar The customers are putting mattresses in their bags, they are putting the offices in their bags. Human resources are backed into the employee orientation computer lab. Customers have poured Starbucks on the circuit-breakers. The lights are dimming, Escalators are jamming. Children scream I want to see Santa. Santa is dead. Employees calmly walk over his protruding belly. The velvet and fat feels good on tired feet. An inhuman voice garbles The store will be closing. Families grab onto shelves, racks, other families. Employees pick up the registers and slam them on granite counters. Coins explode out like bells. The rotating doors are not spinning. They are stuck, crunching on limbs.

Suddenly it stops raining: The woodpecker doesn’t mind, he keeps on hammering lofts – he’s kind of loopy. That’s his nature. And that’s his beauty. The poet doesn’t stop hammering on his keyboard, always looking for meaning, nonsense and love-at-first-write. He’s kind of loopy too. Shall we call him paperpecker? That’s his nature. And that’s his beauty. And the paper starts revealing all kind of things: Bulls in china shops, bilingual pixies, and look! – on the left a cancerous person even finds lucky clover – 1up! if this were a video-game, but life has more than three dimensions. Hmmm… Let’s put some tea-lights and drift-bottles into puddles. Someone definitely will smile and reply.

Hmmm...
Should Andromeda collapse / Hammering hydrogen entraps Cresting waves of burnished light / Whitecaps in the endless night Fly apart with gentle violence / Into eternity of silence

Once a smile, now a frown. Once a city, now burned down. Excite yourself, have a visit, Paradise awaits you, it’s quite unfit. Lies, hate and treasures untold. Wait, you haven’t begun to see it unfold. The magic, the glory, the hammering sound, All being heard from under this ground. Silence and mockery at the final gate, Once you enter, your soul disintegrates. Trapped forever, unlike any other dimension, You’re gone, it’s not just a suspension. The world you once knew, Will finally wish you adieu. You can now be in peace, and wish your lucky seven; Here in my hell demented version of heaven.
