"hoppers" poems
The artichoke of delicate heart ***** in its battle-dress, builds its minimal cupola; keeps stark in its scallop of scales. Around it, demoniac vegetables bristle their thicknesses, devise tendrils and belfries, the bulb's agitations; while under the subsoil the carrot sleeps sound in its rusty mustaches. Runner and filaments bleach in the vineyards, whereon rise the vines. The sedulous cabbage arranges its petticoats; oregano sweetens a world; and the artichoke dulcetly there in a gardenplot, armed for a skirmish, goes proud in its pomegranate burnishes. Till, on a day, each by the other, the artichoke moves to its dream of a market place in the big willow hoppers: a battle formation. Most warlike of defilades- with men in the market stalls, white shirts in the soup-greens, artichoke field marshals, close-order conclaves, commands, detonations, and voices, a crashing of crate staves. And Maria come down with her hamper to make trial of an artichoke: she reflects, she examines, she candles them up to the light like an egg, never flinching; she bargains, she tumbles her prize in a market bag among shoes and a cabbage head, a bottle of vinegar; is back in her kitchen. The artichoke drowns in a *** So you have it: a vegetable, armed, a profession (call it an artichoke) whose end is millennial. We taste of that sweetness, dismembering scale after scale. We eat of a halcyon paste: it is green at the artichoke heart.

Ode To an Artichoke
Deep in a magic forest, with big old magic trees And all the magic creatures that live inside of these There is a magic island, upon a magic lake And on the island stands a stool, the like no man could make And on the stool from dawn to dusk, resides a little man Who spends his days in deeper thought, than any mortal can… How does he think so many thoughts, well you must realize, That though the man is small, his head is twice the normal size. And as for food, well first of all he quite likes eating bugs Beetles spiders, grass hoppers, slimy snails and salty slugs! Inside his beard he keeps a hive, so honey he can eat, And sips the dew from roses, which he grows atop his feet… And when the night time brings the cold, the old man doesn't care He simply covers up, with all his long and tangled hair! Regardless of his oddities, the man is still renowned, For being quite the wisest man, who never can be found.

On a Magic Stool
I saw a gigantic tree. Uprooted and on its side. The great roots forming a mane for the snarling ringed face on the stump. But the fallen beast is taken, it’s husk a Home. A vibrancy of weevils, ladybugs, frog hoppers, Cockchaffers that’s skittering, scattered like a smashed ant farm. Around its base were prehistoric ferns, Curled and scaled like sand lizards’ tales. Reminiscing the demise of the tyrannosaur. When dust clouds darkened the sun which warmed their claws. The skittering skinks, slow worms and other small lizards, who need far less to survive, then feasted upon the monsters’ flesh and found a home in its bone structured palace. As whale sinks, Distorted into a globster of its former self, It hits the sea bed hard in oil-Black darkness. The hagfish burrow, starved for millennia. Brutally tearing at the befallen banquet. Mouths used to scraps choking on steak. Getting their guts knitted as they squirm over each other to grasp some sashimi. Dripping saliva as if we’re sweat in the ruckus. Yeti crab pinch, as do isopods But get only mucus insulting their jaws. And they thought they helped to cut up the portions. Soon all that is left is a skeleton. Hanging in a museum for future generations to see. Once again, dust gathers, from bombed out sand. Erupting in the air as giants hit the ground. We may soon again see darkness fall. As the rayiys is skinned. But no tears are shed. We all cheer none the less.

Petrified are the hoppers who fed on all the corn that died Terrified are the squirrels whose nuts were taken for harvest Angry are the birds that never seems to stubble upon a worm Hungry is the cannibal who tore my flesh and drank from my blood stream The hoppers will cut the dry hay pasture Squirrels will dig into poultry houses Birds will fly to were lichen surfaces rocks But this cannibal will hunger to death 'cause I will return, dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

Hunger (the death of a cannibal)
Fowl floating and flapping across an ocean canopy. Lightly squawking and ascending in a calm summer sky. Waves shine and melt into the beachfront in a dull roar slowly thundering in diagonal collapsing sectors. The top of the ocean. The point of a sphere. Its water that falls slowly to the bottom of..... Here! Ripples and puddles and drinks full of life, the clearest the murky and bluest in light. Mountains and palisades can be rocks that reach skyward. God on a gravel road walking through. The golden purple cattails glow in the sunlight like strawberry fields that fizzle on my hands in the wind that can dance. The vinyl green stem leafs sit stagnantly silently awaiting the moon. Hoppers crescendo in a frozen moment singing in stillness that refuses to relent. The trees around them bask in the energetic massage from the moving sections of recently called air vapors. The Hi- C haircuts that nature reminds me it inspired bobble from the vectors. This climate ecology scenery breeds the moments religions were made for me.

Algae Sand Beach Poem
When sleep eludes me at night And my mind floats aimless Like a sail boat idle on the sea When on my bed I lie staring vacant At the pale moon that gleams, A medley of sounds falls in my ears I hear the chirp of cicadas, the screech of bats The hooting of owls, the flutter of moths The staccato notes of the crickets And the shrill sonorous music of grass hoppers Among these and the silent music of the stars The one sound that delights me most Is the sound of the whistling Thrush Her loud song cuts through the air And mingles with the soft hush of leaves Hidden in the blanket of darkness I am not privileged to see this beryl bird To me, a Goddess of enchantment n’ magic Sometimes like a sweet secret She emerges from the depth of a ravine Sometimes she hides in the leafy coverage Of a nearby poplar tree Always she starts with a hesitant whistle As though rehearsing her own art However gaining confidence And happy over her trial attempt She soon bursts forth into 'full throated' song Creating such sweet vibes of warm feeling And producing in me an instant healing Nay, she sets my soul on fire And swallows me whole Creating in me an eternal longing To hear her pour out that celestial melody Sitting in some far fringe of Heaven To make me lose myself within myself And slosh my soul in mad ecstasy!

Nocturnal sounds
There were grass-hoppers once, in these fields of green. Leaf-hoppers too and a myriad other tiny wing'ed ones. Now bees fidget fretfully along the hedgerows. Lady-bugs, now only the twelve-spot greenhouse slaves. Monsanto's beetles badgering them as they fiddle. These ditches that once housed frogs and musk-rat, ferocious diving beetles, The sky absent the wheeling martins, the boisterous larks. Gone the pests, I rue the dearth, bring me back my mud, my earth. Never was I annoyed by them, always an ally that buggy thing, Who yet knows how the June bugs sing?

Greener Still
We grow in a ragged garden whose caretaker no longer cares for himself except to prune back only the most strangling branches of his mind's miseries. Effectively, we are left to our own wild ways. In all directions, time's vine sprawls unnoticeably slow in its natural haste to overtake every creature. We are the berries strewn along this vine. Our thin skins stretched and aching around poisonous pools of bitter juices, desperate for a touch, a cause to burst, a moment in which our existence is fulfilled. To die in defense of the vine is why we are here. Most of us will never do but rot; stuck to a stem that roots us in idle uselessness. It is my brightest & deepest, berry blue hope not to rot here with the lot of you. So, with great want I watch the passing birds fly in the sky and seethe in need for the little hoppers who come so near just to tilt their tiny heads and maddeningly flutter off. There must be one who makes the mistake of choosing me. One who plucks me right off with its beak and bolts to dine in some high, safe place. It will die for its hunger, and so too will I for satisfying it. But, for a moment between boredom's end and attaining purpose, I'll see the garden from a different view; a bird's eye. I'll see the entire vine for what it is, and hopefully; finally, know why it's worth protecting at all. BURST

Freedom was,   that field of  grass, tall and verdant, undulating rapturously, hand in hand- with wind's sinuous dance. The grass hopper ruled it all, his mind, knew limits, not once, in his life, he was a wild horse, in the jungle of grass, **but a great  regret he had, gnawing his heart, like malicious cancer cells that would eat away all his grace, he tried and tried but never could whistle, not even a haunting note, like a nightingale.** His consort would try to soothe him, with words "How you make me swoon, with your soulful croon!" his eyes would turn bloodshot, she would then  back off, feeling left out, not able to share pain. *" Grass hoppers   are left with no hopes- they are a cheated lot, left to rot"* he audaciously believed, his face remained  always, cadaverously grim. A boy and a girl, who ran away together, reached there, to escape the torturous world tasting freedom for the first time, stood watching the grass hopper- with admiring eyes, and  hope brimming in their hearts, they were so charmed by the green freedom he seemed to enjoy! Here, the wind swept grasslands, looking up to the  heavens, were a world apart, even the muck didn't look crude! **"Look at that grasshopper, bless him, how carefree, he is I wish I could be like him" She wistfully said.**

What does a grasshopper think about his life?
fall hoppers kick to grass as I walk down sun-bleach lane the anhedonia I felt yesterday is pelted by the wind away away to the breeze beyond trash-bin creek I walk past a meddled roadside lover kissing her own bloodied hand must have been bitten by the white-thing panting at her feet the image comes and passes with the balanced autumn sunshine I touch the twist of barbed wire that guards a re-habitated pond a drop of blood wells and surfaces a moon-blazed penny the dulled copper sting of flesh and money merges in the glory of shortened days all is accorded to the fleeting nature of my heartbeat that which comes and passes

a coming and passing
I long for the smell of fresh turned soil , an experience I've never forgotten .. The smell of diesel , oil and grease  ..The ringing of harrow and bush hog ... My Liberty overalls and size ten clod hoppers , suede cowboy hat , pocket watch and Bloodhound tobacco .. Bob White Quail walking the wood line waiting to get their fill of turned ground morsels , grains and grasshoppers .. Curious Whitetailed Deer hiding in the shadows , Redtailed Hawks with a keen eye for field rats escaping the plow .. A sixty two Massey Harris that ran like a' Top ' through rain and heat , never missing a beat ! My mind prays for the simple life of man and machine , the brushfires of March , the restoration of God's green earth ..

shoe falacy(colaboration with Maggie)
The first rays of the sun were peeking over the green tree tops. The sky masked in shades of rich oranges and amber as they fought back the depths of the dark lonely night sky. Deep shades of reds and pinks collided with colors of the coldest blues and blacks, leaving a beautiful display of purples and violets bursting through the heavens above. The lingering stars twinkled dimly and were fading fast with the sun rising brighter in the colorful sky. It had been one of those warm clear peaceful summer nights with the stars and moon full and round, shimmering beautifully high above. You could still hear the grass hoppers chirping their sorrowful tune as the night faded into twilight with the morning fog hugging everything it could reach.

When I think of soul food… I don’t think of my great grandmother’s collard greens, Or her delicious black eyed peas… But instead of the black eyes that the slave masters gave the rebels… Whose blood lines lead to me… When I think of culture and song…. I do not think of our young black girls throwin’ it back in a circle… Or black thirteen year olds contemplating whether or not they should wear that extra tight thong… When I think of our women … I remember the hard workers and the change makers… Not the club hoppers and the rain makers…. I don’t know what you remember about our history… But what I remember…? I remember the long nights and the rainy days… The colored only signs and the church hymns that were meant to break these chains… As I recall.. All of our ancestors bleed their blood… And shed their tears… Took the wrongness… And the noise that the cat of nine tails upon their back they did hear … So that for us later generations... The world would be a much better place… So my question to you is why are we increasing the negative pace?!?! One step forward and three steps back…. I don’t know about you… But my grandfather told me we should be one as a pack… Unbound from our chains… UNIFIED AND BLACK!!! I know you have more fight in you than that!!! Come on and show the world what you’ve got… Because the world doesn’t go round ’cause of underage youth’s highs on *** Our men locked up in jail… All because of the “suspicious” things they do And the socially Darwinised stereotype that our race is going to fail… I am here to influence my generation… So how hard are we going to fight for our emancipation?!?! Let’s stop the domino affect… And start a new… Because how far our race goes up or down…? It’s all up to you…. Please review!!!

Soul Food
When I think of soul food… I don’t think of my great grandmother’s collard greens, Or her delicious black eyed peas… But instead of the black eyes that the slave masters gave the rebels… Whose blood lines lead to me… When I think of culture and song…. I do not think of our young black girls throwin’ it back in a circle… Or black thirteen year olds contemplating whether or not they should wear that extra tight thong… When I think of our women … I remember the hard workers and the change makers… Not the club hoppers and the rain makers…. I don’t know what you remember about our history… But what I remember…? I remember the long nights and the rainy days… The colored only signs and the church hymns that were meant to break these chains… As I recall.. All of our ancestors bleed their blood… And shed their tears… Took the wrongness… And the noise that the cat of nine tails upon their back they did hear … So that for us later generations... The world would be a much better place… So my question to you is why are we increasing the negative pace?!?! One step forward and three steps back…. I don’t know about you… But my grandfather told me we should be one as a pack… Unbound from our chains… UNIFIED AND BLACK!!! I know you have more fight in you than that!!! Come on and show the world what you’ve got… Because the world doesn’t go round ’cause of underage youth’s highs on *** Our men locked up in jail… All because of the “suspicious” things they do And the socially Darwinised stereotype that our race is going to fail… I am here to influence my generation… So how hard are we going to fight for our emancipation?!?!

Where from here Art thou heading to? On errand? I believe Oh! Wait and hear; I have a message for 'them' Branch up there Tell them for us That 'they' have done us evil Tell 'them' their conscience is failing And we are fainting of waiting Tell 'them' They vowed and swore Vowed to wipe our tears Swore to stand in for us all through seasons Not to make it flow the more Ask 'them' why they idle up there While our land is wasting away With our throat dried out of thirst And our stomach twists daily of hunger Tell 'them' They are the leaf hoppers That eats up our green land Let them know We are angry because of hunger And they are cursed by what they have caused us.
