"hunks" poems
light cursed falling in a singular block her,rain-warm-naked exquisitely hashed (little careful hunks-of-lilac laughter splashed from the world prettily upward,mock us….) and there was a clock. tac-tic. tac-toc. Time and lilacs….minutes and love….do you?and Always (i simply understand the gnashing petals of *** which lock me seriously. Dumb for a while.my god—a patter of kisses,the chewed stump of a mouth,huge dropping of a flesh from hinging thighs ….merci….i want to die nous sommes heureux My soul a limp lump of lymph she kissed and i ….chéri….nous sommes

Light Cursed Falling In A Singular Block
Mud is good, Its dead good mud, It's in me blood, But where not understood, Us people of mud, In the shadow of a gas tank and born on a Mersey bank, I lived on cobbled streets dark and dank, I played on a ship that sank, and for anything else I wouldn’t thank....... you On king street docks, girls in cheap frocks, curly locks, time tocks, the boat rocks, The tanyard smell made life hell for all that dwell, under the bridge, In Garston L19, it’s the scene, its clean, it’s where I’ve been, it’s not obscene or green, if you know what I mean. Its community security sincerity and every other word that ends with erity, But it’s fallen apart, Don’t lose heart. I go into town when I’m down, it clears me frown, I don’t go in me jarmies or me dressin gown, There’s men with round bellies, toddlers in wellies, Posh ladies gather in their marks and spencer swagger, There’s scouse brow teens, sunbed queens, Hunks and punks, lonely drunks, Suits in boots forgetting their roots and hens in ***** Big issue sellers, statue fellas holding golf umbrellas, Coz of all the rain, But it’s all good, coz we come from mud, Let’s cheer, why? Coz I’m here, I’m me, me names T, and me hubbys P me best friends she..... lagh, I like coffee and toffee and Roger Mcgoughy, I like statistics logistics eye shadow and lipsticks, I like bags and wags and cigarette **** but not beer, I’m fine on wine if I take me time, I don’t do a line, unless I’m hanging me washing on it, I work in a bar, not far, I don’t drive a car, and I don’t say Lar or kid or lad or lid or mar, I’m proud and loud, don’t live on a cloud, and I don’t follow the crowd, I’m a mum to some, I’ve got a big round *** but I’m me you see, I’m not square, I dye me hair, I swear but you can take me anywhere, Coz I care, I’m good, I’m mud; it’s in me blood, Understood By Christina Ford

I arrived-- though I needn't a formal invite, for you and I, we are two old friends. Companions walking along a similar trail. The leaves distort and distress the yellow and gleaming light of the victorious Sun, who has once again conquered Night and all her iniquities. Scents and colors fill the air, pinks and reds and greens mix and match and blend together, forming a rich atmosphere of synesthetic remarkableness. Each atom and molecule of the wind shivers and shakes atop their invisible chariots, perhaps the true location of Atlas and those great, big hunks of shoulders; "Man, what a man." Take it because you know you like it-- we are social creatures, creatures of logic of habit creatures of horribly idiosyncratic and idle instinct, rulers of fleshy bodies which we hardly understand. The Sun grimaces as it retreats back to the negative air, once again, not to poke its radiant face out until the next morning. The Moon came shimmering out, smiling furtively and compactly, looking down like my oldest confidante. After all, who else but our fair Luna atop the stars is the keeper of all our deepest and most primal secrets? In the cover of her noxy cloak we sin and hide, pushing every secret under and between the cracks in her space, patching up time and keeping dark and brooding Atlas good company. "You're one of the few great guys." Oh, my fat and failing Atlas, lover for the Night and of my night, you are a temporary stop on my trail, a brief twilight in my life's journey. The Sun creeps its spindly, golden fingers under the cloak of the Moon, Night: the stitchings and sewings of the sins of mortal men. Playfully, the light stretches out, first dancing along the stage of the horizon, then inching closer, desperate for living contact, for the greatest warmth of over 2 billion hearts all beating at once-- perfectly, in time. Our world is a note on this Cosmic sheet music; you are barely a splotch on the sheet. Our existence is the single beat out of infinite others, without a beginning but possibly and end. I know that there will be twists in my path, bending and curving to avoid the stars' wrath and the Suns' might, but, might it be that our two trails are simply not meant to meet?

LET us sit by a hissing steam radiator a winter's day, gray wind pattering frozen raindrops on the window, And let us talk about milk wagon drivers and grocery delivery boys. Let us keep our feet in wool slippers and mix hot punches-and talk about mail carriers and messenger boys slipping along the icy sidewalks. Let us write of olden, golden days and hunters of the Holy Grail and men called "knights" riding horses in the rain, in the cold frozen rain for ladies they loved. A roustabout hunched on a coal wagon goes by, icicles drip on his hat rim, sheets of ice wrapping the hunks of coal, the caravanserai a gray blur in slant of rain. Let us nudge the steam radiator with our wool slippers and write poems of Launcelot, the hero, and Roland, the hero, and all the olden golden men who rode horses in the rain.

Horses and Men in Rain
striving for simplicity has starting seeming quite similar to settling for much, much less. i suffer this stubborness like some plague; some ***** scared of searching for a saviour, or a cure, unwilling to forgo the laws that make him shout, 'impure!' or 'unclean!' or 'run away, ******* run away! i am death and his son hopeless, and we've come out to play.' an answer waiting underneath every leaf and stone and every molecule he breathes on the wind when he's alone, tickling his seeping wounds and begging him to see . . . i'm here, i'm here . . . look here . . . see me. but instead of living hopefully looking for answers that want to be seen, just writhing in pain at the sting of the breeze, and cursing and moaning and spraying forth death so stubborn and stupid with every breath that's me, that's me . . . that's me . . . that's me. a leper's disposition on a long dead, lifeless heart afraid of hoping for a change, a cure, a fairy's pond stubborn like a stone so stupid and stubborn with every breath . . . a glass of porter left behind on the bar, flat and forgotten, forsaken, weak, and wasted . . . that's me, that's me . . . that's me . . . that's me. so stubborn and so selfish, never reaching, never finding the simplicity i supposedly believed might save my life . . . an excuse to surrender and to squander and forsake every opportunity that would ever come my way until my talents are just rusty tools in the back of some toolshed in some swamp in new new orleans in the background of my head. i have long since lived too many years to believe i am owed more and i have yet to do one single thing that's been worth fighting for, and sticking to and seeing through and working at until it pays off and releases me from my hopeless, bankrupt will. a ***** with a strange and stubborn sense of salvation my days are leaking right through my skin, and dripping their decaying death along a trail stretched out behind me . . . a path that's leading nowhere, made from nothing, with no one along its way . . . potential in hunks littering both sides in different stages of decay. stubborn, and selfish, but some will must still remain in the corner of some toolshed in the bog that is my brain. a cleansing of the soul, or a katrina of the mind my freedom must be lurking somewhere, for i am still alive.

You are hollow and sharp--         not exactly hollow, but full of holes         where your guts should be. You are rust and cruelty, all ancient bloodstains and missing hunks of steel. You are afraid of your angles         the wicked serrations of your tongue. You lick your own wounds to taste blood wondering if it really tastes like you at all or more like the leftover bits of flesh still stuck between your crooked teeth.         But you don't frighten me, Bonesaw;               your razor blade arms are nothing but home.

I get tired of it The guys who write "poems" just to try to pick up on women Cliche ridden hunks of text depending upon abstractions to seem deep Yes I know this work is subjective, yes I know I'm not one to judge But I can smell the real thing brother, and it doesn't smell like you You don't HAVE to do this **** sitting up late juggling concepts too broad to pin down You don't HAVE to sit down and pour it out before it erupts into a case of bad attitude. You're far more interested in seeming deep, while the deep are far more interested in surviving You want to front like you're a cool guy, like you've gotten in touch with all of the rally calls, and you're up on all the obscurities that anyone in the know should have a handle on I don't give a **** what music you think is superior, or what author you feel your style most closely resembles, because you don't have a voice of your own When you've got some **** to say, say it, own it, and put a real voice behind it, otherwise don't waste my time.

Christmas Blows
You hold the universe inside your eyes Constellations dancing around the solar system hearts beating pinpricks of light faster than sound waves carried quietly through tunnels of asteroids drifting hunks of feelings we've forgotten Stranded in space between the wrinkles of time This fabric of your love unfolds in ripples Showering our heads in meteorite dust But how we glimmer defying gravity we'll meet again along the northern lights when the wind kicks in our cheeks still sun-kissed Bodies shattering, arms and legs pave the milky way, Explore with me my love, ride the tails of comets into the horizons that exist only for us

Galactic Lovers
Glowing Windows embedded into mouldy brick walls Ivy climbing the gutters of neighbourhood roofs Skies becoming burnt out like charred blackened fields Tall spiny trees project shadows onto the road below Leaves curl up to receive some weakening light from above A formation of sputtering cars cling to each turn they decide to make Cloudy milky light bounces off faulty windows that exhale the aroma of somebodies impending supper A heavy truck manoeuvres itself into the blistered bitumen horizon Dry deflated branches make obscene gestures towards passers-by Gardeners rummage through their bags as they near the end of their working day Their faces filled with an expired enthusiasm for breathing Parked hunks of metal pelted with dead itchy leaves Windscreen wipers hold fragile twigs down against grotty neglected glass Chain-link fences link disparate housing and the sleeping people within Some dispirited unsatisfied psychos gaze up as they catch a moving bus Smoky Incense billows down from some apartment balcony The air becomes cold and sharply fills these ordinary streets Engine sounds try to supress the divine quietness They only merge into it Now the stars are out and about Bright specks waddling in an aerial pool of dark blue You turn the key and walk through the front door

The Corner Near a Bus Stop
The fuselage must gleam in a pink Pacific sunset at 29000 feet inside, I am brought puffed cellophane pouches of tamarind by attendant ladies and men and a sanitary case wraps my pillow. Bangkok’s taxis are driven by a man with bones for a neck on cracked roads that vanish into blind ways. Later a child – spying left – pulls me through a curtained door into an ante-room to sell me cling-wrapped copies of Japanese slasher movies. “Cheap!” Flies circle a mound of meat spiked to a vending cart -- “special for you.” A sea of mopeds rumble up the road and chase me between parked cars Tattered hunks of plastic bag blow past off the beach. At night gut rot infects the air, and I walk in brown puddled streets. The tar sky smothers above the neon and the barkers and the *** for $10.  This last part was in the guidebook. A woman sits, cloaked in a shawl, selling women’s apparel, all arranged on pale and chalky mannequins, angled at attention. They wear the rouge of the truth-telling jester. Their mouths are gaping, smiling, lurid, laughing, howling.  Eyes wide, piercing and empty, excited. They look like me. And I look away. The woman’s throat moves.  Or does she chuckle? “For you.”

Leavings
Her eyes are dying embers... Her skin's cracked porcelain... Her soul's a spring; she's coiled tight... Oh! Where do I begin? She's dying from the surface-in, But there's a danger lurking there-- Betwixt the hunks of rotting meat; Beneath the mounds of matted hair. Her hands are crooked razors... Her ******* are melted wax... Her womb will bear only darkness now... But her heart holds out for more attacks. Her spine's a fuse in dynamite... Her bones are all but dust... But there's still malice in her mind; A mind that's caked in rust... She's decaying from the outside-in, But there's a monster 'neath the husk. A being built of horrid things; Of claw and hoof and tusk. Her voice is winter windstorms... She draws in her toxic breath... Her muscles crack like autumn leaves... She is a sight of withered death. She'll score your flesh with talons... She'll strip you of your flesh... She'll bottle up your insides, In an attempt to keep them fresh. She's a curse that comes from inside-out, A plague that yearns to maim. A rage that yields to only one, But no one knows their name...

The Monks
What do infants dream of? Do they dream of wombs? Places dark and comfortable and perfect beyond comparison. Sedating heartbeat above regular and comforting like a vascular clock. Always keeping time; always breathing life. Do they dream of mothers ******* Soft pillows of nurturing flesh. The source of life on their planet. Flowing ivory elixir, from soft rose ******* Do they dream of us? Of grotesk giants that pinch cheeks and speak in meaningless howls. Smiling oversized faces that clean the **** that builds below where that sweet tube once provided life. Gnawing white stumps eating indigestible hunks of flesh, or plants. Do they understand love? Can they dream of pure emotion? Without the words and representations of it interfering? I wish to be like this. I wish to be swaddled, to have dreams about nothing, and real. Dreams as pure and amazed as a teary eyed infant.

Infant Dreams
Look at him A pile of limbs One hunk of flesh He pulsates with blood He's nowhere near human He's a beast Carrying burden The privileged burden Such is a privilege To be morphed Entangled Intertwined He's hideously deformed Carrying a part of her With him Everywhere She won't ever fall off She won't melt away She won't be cut off He doesn't want her to It makes him marked An Elephant Man Grotesque To those who can't understand Hundreds of us Walk the streets In plain sight Deformed When he's most alone He looks to a tumour He looks to a scar Knowing "That's where you are" When he's most at home She starts to sink Into his skin To be closer to him When he's said and done When he's ready to stop looking At his weaved flesh and bone He'll keep her inside Stowed her away To fester inside To let him walk Free of deform In the hopes that Someone else could be so lucky As to let themselves sink To mangle themselves upon him Let it be that he Deforms Just as he let himself be Let them mark one and other So that They won't ever fall off They won't ever melt away They won't ever be cut off Look at them A pile of limbs Two hunks sew flesh Their hearts pulsate together

It’s the Wholly Babble! Obfuscation for the rabble; Its plagiarized bunk Delivered in hunks And carefully rigged To put lipstick on the pig That means, at least, A good living for priests. So, let’s take a collection Everyone pays the tab For a few thousand years Of indecipherable blab. Let’s make up stories That never appeared And discuss the length Of God-On-High’s beard. In the Wholly Babble! Godly, revered people You can search and find Many murderously unkind. Despicable tales galore Talking snakes and gore; ****** and genocide, Infanticide and fratricide. So, let’s take a collection Everyone pays the tab For a few thousand years Of indecipherable blab. Miracles are plenty there To believe every word here To tempt you with their glory In the convoluted story Of two people and two kids Who did the son wed When one got married? From where was she carried? Let’s make up stories That never appeared And discuss the length Of God-On-High’s beard. And the saddest thing is An ‘us and them’ myth is The idea used to create An established cause for hate. It’s your God against mine Yours is evil, mine is fine. Now isn’t that a fright To keep you up at night? So, let’s take a collection Everyone pays the tab For a few thousand years Of indecipherable blab. Let’s make up stories That never appeared And discuss the length Of God-On-High’s beard.

THE WHOLLY BABBLE
Hot dogs get chili Burgers get mustard Porterhouse gets steak sauce At least the last I heard. French fries don’t get vinegar That’s totally absurd French fries get ketchup At least the last I heard. Toilet paper rolls off the top Toilet seats need to be up. Tea is iced and in a glass Coffee should be in a cup. Tuna casserole is not for men, We need meat and potatoes. We only like marinara sauce Instead of raw sliced tomatoes. Salads are lettuce and dressing Especially of the cheesy kind. Eggplant is all plant and no egg And tastes like watermelon rind. Finger sandwiches are a waste Especially those with watercress. Cold borsht served in flat bowls Is not much more than a mess. Sushi is nothing else but Some overdressed hunks of bait. Pork bellies are pudgy bacon And deserve a better fate. Sweet breads are neither; Sweet nor are they bread. Steak tartar is just raw meat And should be cooked instead. Brunch is a truly silly word One needs make up the mind. Either have lunch or breakfast. I don’t mean to be unkind. We can be a confusing culture; Combining things so badly. Give me the basics, nothing more, And I will go imbibe quite gladly.

ORDINARY LIFE
Take me back to the land of sausage and mustard eggs. Thick, meaty, juicy hunks of meat. Cylindrical and delicious, I miss the sensation of snapping the end of one off into my mouth fresh off of a grill. Lounging on the castle lawn. Speaking three different languages in one conversation. Drinking confusing juice and cuddling up next to bonfires and talking all night long. Sleeping in a cardboard box that needed a little ****** Loving new people every day. Singing. All day long. Getting the words wrong until the leaves rustled just the right way reminded us what were trying to say. I miss the Mother Land. The chill mornings and colder afternoons. Frozen over duck ponds and introducing the natives to the glory of tacos. Ich liebe dich Deutschland. Holen Sie mich Haupt Ihnen.

Untitled #16
The Queen of Qanant Was a right royal **** A ***** of the first water. And almost as bad Was the offspring she had, Her high-class badass daughter. She looked at folks funny If they didn’t have money To her it was all about gifts. The Queen didn’t share That her kid pulled her hair Her stinginess created a rift. The Queen of Qanant Had all she could want Spangles and baubles galore. She had so much junk She needed four hunks To carry it all through the door. Her land was in a pickle No downward dollar trickle With which the poor could pay rent. She ignored all petitions To improve the conditions Thus a civil rebellion could foment. Her people could starve, No roast beast to carve; To her the whole issue was closed. So her daughter colluded And the story concluded When Mommy the Queen was deposed. So, that’s what’s in store When you ***** with the poor And ignore their righteous complaining. That’s the way things are You get only so far To **** on them and tell them it’s raining. The daughter was no better She matched mom to the letter And the whole story started again. But that’s what people earn When they never quite learn; They end up back where they’ve been.

QUEEN OF QANANT
An old man climbs into a vintage car to smell the sweet upholstery, caresses the steering wheel’s steel bars and grips the gearshift **** of ivory. He pulls the heavy door to close it and hear its deep, dull iron clunk that fuel-injects him with a dose of chrome-clad metal hunks. The streamlined car doesn’t move. Still, it takes him on a favored trip down a grey road well grooved that his whitewall mind-tires firmly grip. Its tires spin in grooves and sing a well-pitched tune of rolling on. Seams of concrete slabs now bring the bumping heartbeat of this song. His greying hairs match the road which stretches out into his past, leading him back in freeway flow to a love that he’d made last. For in a leather rumble seat in a sleek car just like this one, he’d kissed her hand and lips to greet his sweetheart hunnybun. She smiled as bright as high beams at her motorheaded beau, with wide eyes that stole his dreams and made his fuel more quickly flow. With hair like raven asphalt framing lips in brake-light red, in her saw he no faults, but thanks to him, she’d end up dead in a shattering crash as they slid into a tree, his youthful driving brash and far too wild and free. He swore to never leave her by that bleak perditious street. Resolved, he chose to grieve her and keep the rumble seat. So once a year he sits in this car. He never drove again. But each time it takes him far, right to where his hunnybun had been.

The ballad of the rumble seat
They stand, huddled together, tall protests that peirce the air; With their shear beauty they show reason enough, they need no more justification. And there, bleeding out of their mass, mangled hunks mercilessly hacked from helpless trunks, reduced to a pile of rubble, of rotting flesh, filling the air with their putrid smell, murdering the serenity with their own death. And the perpertrators? Long gone. Their blades dripping with blood, oozing with evil, their stinking motors, all gone, leaving only destruction and acrid smoke, which can not be cleared, swept away, by the mass that was beauty, destroyed by greed.
