"helpers" poems
Bees build around red liver, Ants build around black bone. It has begun: the tearing, the trampling on silks, It has begun: the breaking of glass, wood, copper, nickel, silver, foam Of gypsum, iron sheets, violin strings, trumpets, leaves, ***** crystals. **** Phosphorescent fire from yellow walls Engulfs animal and human hair. Bees build around the honeycomb of lungs, Ants build around white bone. Torn is paper, rubber, linen, leather, flax, Fiber, fabrics, cellulose, snakeskin, wire. The roof and the wall collapse in flame and heat seizes the foundations. Now there is only the earth, sandy, trodden down, With one leafless tree. Slowly, boring a tunnel, a guardian mole makes his way, With a small red lamp fastened to his forehead. He touches buried bodies, counts them, pushes on, He distinguishes human ashes by their luminous vapor, The ashes of each man by a different part of the spectrum. Bees build around a red trace. Ants build around the place left by my body. I am afraid, so afraid of the guardian mole. He has swollen eyelids, like a Patriarch Who has sat much in the light of candles Reading the great book of the species. What will I tell him, I, a Jew of the New Testament, Waiting two thousand years for the second coming of Jesus? My broken body will deliver me to his sight And he will count me among the helpers of death: The uncircumcised.

A Poor Christian Looks At The Ghetto
Lone walker, In the midst of the crowd his heart was always alone. Sank into the belly of tribulations, Unlike the missionary journey of Jonah he was vomited into more woes. Like how a beautiful mountain in a wilderness thirst for tourist So his heart was hungry for love. If loneliness is synonymous to poverty then he deserved this cross. Lone walker, He lonely walked on thorns, struggled with everything, sweated blood. He lived a life of trapped miners in a cave miles below fresh air. Lone walker, Rain of respite barely shower on his path. Sun bit his skin, dews often united with his tears, For there was no even a free den for him to rest his head. His days were worse than the trials of Job, For he had not even a wife to encourage him to curse God and give up the ghost. Like an eaglet without a falcon, he was accustomed to crying for his dying talents that was hidden too deep for any scout to discover. To him the world was empty and void of helpers Until a moment came when he decided to abort his worries, fears and his ugly past. In a flash he recalled the parable of the talents, In a speed of lightning he stood and put his hidden gift into use. I key my mind into the eyes of the reader of his biography, As I stood in the midst of his children offspring in his burial ceremony fit for kings, With the assurance that he is not walking alone to heaven or hell indeed And surely his once lonely heart would be filled with merriment and peace.

Lone Walker.
This fact seemed pretty **** self-evident from just about birth on. I seemed to inconvenience my family, especially my mother. So with my multitudes of half-sisters that refused to see me as anything more than just that, half, my mother, who was exhausted and inconvenienced at the sight of me, my will and my troubled path, I was a real life Cinderella, From The Start. Since I was just there, my mother figured she might as well use me, to do her bidding. I wouldn't be home for weeks and would arrive to an empty, messy house and a two-page list of things to do. Sound familiar? Just like a fairytale, huh? So I ask, where's my fairy godmother, and my glass slipper along with the Prince Charming, to make sure it fits? And my mouse helpers, to make cakes and dresses with me? Well I might not have a fairy godmother or a glass slipper, and I'm still missing the **** mice, but I just might have found, My Prince... <3

Cinderella
The progression of Huntington's disease often leads to the need of a wheelchair. My husband resisted using a wheelchair for many years, even though his poor balance and tiredness meant he was prone to falls. I didn't exactly pressurise him into using one. To be honest it was not just because it was another sign of loss of independence, but it would have been harder for me too in many respects. What I wasn't prepared for, when the time came, was the social stigma attached to wheelchair users insofar as becoming a kind of non-entity! In a weekly blog I wrote in 2008 I wrote about the first time I took my husband out in a wheelchair. It angered me how peoples’ attitudes seemed to change overnight. Walking down the High Street, Hand in hand like lovers, The couple blend into the crowd, No different from the others. As the years go by though, His body having changed, Has sadly meant a wheelchair, Has had to be arranged. Strolling down same High Street, The woman now behind, Her lover needing pushing, Steep pavements so unkind. Entering the bar now, With awkward navigation; People jump to open door, Aware of situation. “Thank you” says the man in chair, When wheeled into the place; “Welcome” say the helpers there, But all avoid his face. Carer gets the “Welcome” mouthed, No looks with him they share; Let’s treat this fellow human being, As if he wasn't there.

The Wheelchair Outing
Senior Present I walked in to the school this morning To see all of the teachers Munching and nibbling on food. I turned down the hallway to be greeted By a glorious sent that hit my nostrils I watched as kids floated down the hall way Towards the smell, they were just out of reach Of the food, as the smell led them to a closed door Of the teachers lounge. Inside were all sorts of candies. There was a candy Of every type, all shapes and sizes. No one was left Out every teacher had there favorite kind some ware. There were cakes and pies, Fudge and brownies, Ice cream and frozen yogurt. There was healthy food And nut free snacks. There was lollipops And twizlers. It was Halloween all over again, With a twist of fancy, It was a dessert buffet Just for the teachers. It was a way to thank them for all the Time they spent teaching us the same thing To have patience for all the questions, to help us In till we understood, staying extra hours to help us. This food display is a thanks to not just the teachers But to the janitors, the special education helpers The nurses, librarians, office and consoler office ladies The police officers and the principal her self. I thought it would be nice to give you all a special treat A present, instead a prank, since it is my senior year.

Senior Present
Windows high or low, windows sing or woe (if they could effect sounds) Windows are protestants of peace; often the mediator between the inside and the out They tirelessly shield us from the rain and sun, the dust and even noise, sometimes the wind itself too; so things don't topple over There are times you open them, when you look out and think of an adventure out There are also times you close them, when you seek some respite Windows, if anything, are the forgotten heroes of time They are your guides, your decision-making helpers, as is the Spirit Their panes (pains) are to be taken care of, wiped regularly for absolute clarity They nudge, with the help of wind sometimes, dying not to be ignored They crave interaction with its user, oh if only our owners knew they cry Knowing how to operate them for full utilisation is truly, a skill

helpers a riddle
It was Christmas Eve and the house was asleep I heard a noise downstairs, and went to take a peep It was Santa! He was there! With his nose all plump and red He heard me there behind him, And turned around and said: Little girl don’t be afraid I’m here to take you home. You’ll live with me at the North Pole in a new time zone. I tried to run away, but before I could look back Santa picked me up so fast and threw me in his sack! When I woke up I was dressed in green, Didn’t recognize myself And suddenly I realized, I’d been turned into an elf! So now I’m here at the North Pole, I’m getting used to it I’m making toys and getting along With all the other missing kids.

Santa's Helpers (Children's Poem)
Many have heard that “No man is an island.” And over most circumstances, no one has control. So I ask you… “Have you found purpose for your life?” “With your identity, are you fulfilling your role?” Escape the snare of delusional grandeur, for God Almighty has an assignment for you. Are you prepared with your life skills and has your Kingdom mission come into view? Previous individuals came to you (before me) and broke the fallow ground of your heart. Has the message of Salvation burst within you? Are you wanting to serve, but have not started? Has the “sown seed” inside you… been watered? Are you on the verge of a spiritual epiphany? Do you require wisdom, guidance or experience? Can you determine, why you’re unable to see? The grittiness of human interaction serves us as “sandpaper of life”, softening one’s spirit. We’re to learn from each other, apply God’s Word and strive to live life… without earthly limits. Having vested interests in others helps us to sincerely love one another; walking in Godly unions and relationships, bonds us as Christian sisters and brothers. Remember the complete story of Queen Esther, whose success was possible by efforts of Mordecai. Become involved in the ministry of destiny helpers… For Christ promised to meet our needs against His Supply. Author Notes: Loosely based on: 1 Cor 3:1-10; Esther Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513/ By Joseph J. Breunig 3rd, © 2012, All rights reserved.

I used to believe in Santa Claus So jolly and red and so fat. I was a big fan of Christmas No holiday was as great as that. Not Easter with those funny eggs Not even Halloween with candy. No, that thing about tons of presents To me, that was fine and dandy. And we even got two weeks off Nobody had to go to school. Then coming back with new clothes That made me look so cool. Nothing compared to Santa Claus The flying reindeer, ** ** guy. I used to try to stay awake So I could see him flying by. It was such a great reality To know that dude was up there In the frozen north pole air Making stuff for kids everywhere. That was the world I reveled in, Where everyone celebrated. I knew I was not the only one Who sat by the tree and waited. I don’t remember being confused By the Santas in department stores. Santa had lots of helpers, I knew, And this guy was just one more. I did have a problem with chimneys And a bag that he could lift That carried things for all us kids; Every size and type of gift. But kids have a way of helping folks To maintain a pretty fantasy. We just ignored things that didn’t fit. We went about it very easily. But one day, and I remember when I got let in on the confidence game And Santa Claus was quickly gone, Never to come to our house again. The sad thing is nothing can ever Replace the joy I once felt. Santa was not supposed to be Like Frosty and too quickly melt. So, I have to make do with having The grownup toys I buy myself. Oh, how I could use a flying sled And the help of a brace of elf.

White snow falls onto the roofs as we strain to hear reindeer hoofs hoping for some of the Christmas joys that Santa brings to good girls and boys We dream of the toys that his helpers made Trucks and dolls, trains and ***** stockings stuffed with goodies and the jingle of bells and the many boxes wrapped by elves The room cools as the fire dies and we strain to not close our eyes but we slowly drift away into dreams visions of the North Pole and it's magical things and when we wake in the morn' sun we find the milk and cookies gone with presents stacked under the tree and stockings full of fun and glee White snow falls onto the roofs but we didn't hear reindeer hoofs yet we know Santa came with Christmas joys and he shared with all of the girls and boys

when you are down you must be stronger than those around who try to help but don’t see what’s got you down or what you’re doing to get up and only see you on the ground you must be stronger than those around to help the helpers look up at you stronger

Oh! pleasant exercise of hope and joy! For mighty were the auxiliars which then stood Upon our side, we who were strong in love! Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven!—Oh! times, In which the meagre, stale, forbidding ways Of custom, law, and statute, took at once The attraction of a country in romance! When Reason seemed the most to assert her rights, When most intent on making of herself A prime Enchantress—to assist the work Which then was going forward in her name! Not favoured spots alone, but the whole earth, The beauty wore of promise, that which sets (As at some moment might not be unfelt Among the bowers of paradise itself ) The budding rose above the rose full blown. What temper at the prospect did not wake To happiness unthought of? The inert Were roused, and lively natures rapt away! They who had fed their childhood upon dreams, The playfellows of fancy, who had made All powers of swiftness, subtilty, and strength Their ministers,—who in lordly wise had stirred Among the grandest objects of the sense, And dealt with whatsoever they found there As if they had within some lurking right To wield it;—they, too, who, of gentle mood, Had watched all gentle motions, and to these Had fitted their own thoughts, schemers more wild, And in the region of their peaceful selves;— Now was it that both found, the meek and lofty Did both find, helpers to their heart’s desire, And stuff at hand, plastic as they could wish; Wcre called upon to exercise their skill, Not in Utopia, subterranean fields, Or some secreted island, Heaven knows where! But in the very world, which is the world Of all of us,—the place where in the end We find our happiness, or not at all!

I just started my new job As the handyman in the land of OZ Seems things haven't been going the same Since the Wizard up and left that day First off is that house from Kansas The one that fell on the Witch of the East There's no way the Munchkins can move it So we're going to renovate it right there on the side of the street And turn it into a Bed & Breakfast Where all the Good Witches can relax and stay Then they all won't be so apt to Commandeer a sphere and float away After that I'll need to buy some silver paint As the Tin Man is looking rather dull these days And while I'm at it might as well, some yellow and green To give the road and OZ a brand new sheen And since the Witch of the West has been put to rest I have all the Flying Monkey helpers I can use As my professional skills will be put to the test Giving her dingy castle a good ole OZ spruce I wonder why they've never had someone before Oh yea, I've also gotta fix that Knocker on the front door There are so many things that need to be done Me being the new Handy Man in the land of OZ

Respect for the mother and fathers who build this playground for us to roam , respect for the floating flowers sweet seed sprouting into blossoms tree respect for the love of self - selflessly respect for the helpers helplessly respect for the boundaries rises climatic waves crash onto soft shore breakfast on the patio what could one ask for more then a wake up call without using a phone last night's revelries spill over into today's serenity sacred ground sacred sounds early bird gets the worm they say share the love spread the love , doctors healers love knows no bounds but seeks to reach each tip of wing in illuminated golden heart seen on first meeting glows the fireflies who light up the night time so bright nor the wonderlusting princesses moving in her own skin with so much filling to the brim overspilling with kisses and loves spilt beers and american dreams turn to dust on the desert plains and the silken haze hangs low across the city bike riding race styling high flying we already die to live to give we already sing to the silent tunes of water droplets and bird calls tree's sigh in daylight delight and fight no one, not even the night for ... the tree's photosynthesise by moonlight leaves drink in the cool wise light and give off dreams of softly fading starlight and laughing at Jamican tour guides....exucse me while i light my spliff....har har har har.....and over here is the kitchen...

Is he being serious? I can't tell Am I being serious? I'm not sure feeling on the brink of something am I dying? is this what it's like to die? I had a lot of good words to say they were going to come out like a sickly ball of ectoplasm like a desperate clawing scream up from the floor but now I don't know what they were everything I consume is somehow related to who I am as a person I've spent a lifetime modeling myself after words, images, phrases, sounds they are like little helpers but they are not me "don't be afraid to care" "what did you see while you were there?" I am bursting with joy I want to laugh, dance, be free to love my love is all ************ right now it's all I know the moon & sky so beautiful this strange winter deadly sunsets and snow crystalline space and stars "how does it feeeeel?" he asks & rolls over drunk, uncaring I slipped her something mid-conversation what was it?: a hint, a look, an eye? I don't even know really Was I being myself or not? "the joke is come upon me" at last, the irony is concrete hilariously, beautifully tragic & yet not at all; more like a lighthearted pun "we all shine on, like the moon & the stars & the sun" why & how did it become so difficult? this is the struggle of every man this is not my father's insanity, nor his father's

The Straw Furniture (Summertime and the Living is Easy) The ancient straw furniture, yellow-white, cracked, My boon companions from the Sun Room where I write, Give me a welcome back embrace and purposely snag my sweater, Crackling a laugh and tween boisterous gasps, all wish me a hearty Welcome back ancient mariner, to your cottage On the bluff overlooking Peconic Bay. The deck furniture exhumed from the garage, Accompanied by a parade, nay a slew, Of spiders and insects waving Adieu to their winter palace Climb aboard to get a better view of their new deck digs, And of me, the anti-hero of their grandparent's tales. I go down to the basement. Chagrined, I come back up the twisty stairs which designed, aimed to maim, vowing never to return. The refrigerator says do you like modern art? Mold of multifarious colors, heavenly hues worthy of the Museum of Modern Art, I bequeath to you freely, no charge! The clean laundry left out from last summer, Looks so forlorn, asks politely, Make me gone, wash away the winter's dusty grime, Besides, traces of aged balsamic suntan lotion, still inhabit. The golf clubs say nice meeting you, Tho we think we met you once before, Five or eight years or even never-years ago, was it not? My obedient servants? No, my friends, my helpers, my guides, For in their sheltering embrace, in this holy place, Inspiration floods, overcomes me and I am compelled alive, Poet renewed, ****** why am I crying...

Did they welcome you back to those halls? To the insanity? To the familiarness of it all. You knew the rules, the people, everything, when you came back. Felt the same feeling again. Maybe you would be even more tired, too far gone. Maybe this time, it would be the last. You would stay.

I bleed as not in pain or anguish Nature reminds me of the beautiful crimson within me My body celebrate in its own way The crimson flow burst in its fullness rich in colour Embrace the moment with joy, I am anxious, Flows between my thighs, warm and thick, I bleed a beautiful flow Piercing glances shame me Disgust is the flow that defines me, Fear and Silence draw into the depth of a dark cloud Rejection drowns the beauty in my flow Joy and worth is ****** with each drop My voice is silenced by my helper I bleed a beautiful flow Golden yet crimson is my flow Anxiety unravel the shame within me Hideaway from my helpers just for a while The flows leave traces of its existence on Drenched in the cloths that cover me The ground I sit tells the world my misery The crimson brighten only the ground I sit Only darkness will hide my shame I bleed a beautiful flow I crawl away to my own dark place   There dignity is nothing but a dream A cloth to drain the flow is all I desire My hope is on my helper but no, They withhold their helping hand I am drowning silence unable to speak yet, I bleed a beautiful flow. I yearn to plead with my helper for a moment To lament my desire to hide my shame in a cloth They throw a dark cloud over me, I am a disgrace I am silenced even by my own kind They too who have been pulled into a dark hole of silence Their hope is far Gone with the Wind Buried in the voices of those who claim to own my kind My thoughts wander in misery and grief As one lost in an unknown world, I bleed a beautiful flow. A voice from within calls out to me It reminds me of the strength embedded in my kind A gentle whisper tells me to celebrate my flow I must rise and say the first words although fear grips me I rise like a tide and fight for my own kind I speak although silence is expected of me I must fight for my beautiful flow I bleed a beautiful flow

*We live now In visual times Our helpers are Those graphic aids: Top to bottom Right to left In to out.. Part in whole Whole in part Holograph assists Wholeness found.. Symmetry here Alerts to show Symmetry there.. These and more Simple translations Inner Eye wakens.. So that now Deception removed Our world renews Its hidden beauty Dis-clothed…*

Hidden beauty
Does my very existence not fit into your narrow idea of what a human being should be? That you even hold a belief that my identity should have parameters truly disconcerts me. First, I feel a reactionary urge to be sorry for not fitting into this tiny little cardboard box you've made for me. This box you want to close up and push to the back of a dusty shelf. This is because I'm used to being swept under the rug like a mess you don't want to see but you don't have the time for. Then, I want to crush it beneath my feet and tear it apart. But the mother within me caresses your hateful glare with a sorry stare. Disappointed... worried, I gently pick it up. With a sad smile, I begin to open it. Carefully, with the calloused pads of my fingers, I untuck each fold you have created in order for this box to contain my soul. With each motion, I make sure not to rip it at the seams. That would hurt. It seems, though, this material has been handled unlovingly to begin with. Mold has made its way into the corners, and the fibers are fraying at each corner, at every fold. But I am patient. I will slowly but surely deconstruct each and every hateful box that has been stacked in the musty warehouse of your heart. I will be here until all unsuspecting souls have escaped their prisons. I will be here until I die. But that's okay. It gives me something to do with my hands. Plus I enjoy the company of the liberated. I need their help to clean this place up.
