"indirect" poems
The sky is a bowl of withered stars. With emotion veiled in the corner of those truly murky blankets. I spoke with the ghost of a fulminated tree he told me his story that is mine. So his indirect revenge. I will make a prayer to the rainbow after the flood, after us, after you and me. There is no solution outside of love.

Outside of love
How can I access these feelings I’ve never felt before? No experience can measure to the pain I feel internally, fragmentally. I’ve never felt real pain, but I can write. I can imagine how it is to feel this way is this indirect or insincere? I’m not sure. But I feel it. In my lungs I feel it. In my heart I feel it. In my brain I feel it. Pain I’ve never experienced, It’s inside of me and I can’t make it leave. How do I make it leave?

Is This Empathy?
The next to empty train Roars through the mist of dawn As it passes the lakes and elves The dark and mystic pines -forests that once told of horrors To keep the ones like me From crossing the line- This box, this crate A testament of the modern man To whom which it serves It is somewhat of a time traveller When it breezes the land That years have made its own And yet there are scenes from my window That I know are proofs Of exceptions to the rule that reads, “time will take its toll” All the brooks and oaks And even more so Every bolder and stone Convinces my heart and soul That I need not be marred and scorned Broken and torn By the thistles and thorns And all the bourdons that the lions Of this glass world Convict me to ***** Since there is a side To the manic and indecisive puzzle that is I A side of realism and cynicism Thus I am well aware of my mortality And the scarcity of the time that is mine My existence is an indirect unwritten vow To never bend my back and bow To never fall in line And receive my share of coals To fuel this machine down the rusty tracks In a race against nature or God A race to prove one or the other Or even both wrong A race we’ve already lost

On A Train
All of the moves on a chessboard of which the permutations are infinite, have been witnessed at Camp- Nou by the G.O.A.T. Upon hillside tracks and mountain passes where herds pasture on unsure footings at cliffs edge in all types of weather is the Goat. Think of a goalkeeper waiting for an indirect free out of vision from behind a wall of players, imagine the thoughts----- between predator & prey.           ................          |˚             |          |              | Tribute to Lionel Messi Barcelona on his 7th Balon D'or.

Messi-ah
They say that the cities Are paved with gold That this is the land Where dreams are made true I'll tell you its where they are sold Only the ruthless can afford To rise to the top The cities are nothing but cold Homeless in doorways And beggars on corners A meagre minimum wage income A damp house to welcome Indirect subtle insults Discrimination and accusation Faulted into submission One size fits all Well it better fit you Or you're just another number Database, forms and paperwork Lost in the system Nine to five Or the underworld shift Borrow from Peter to give to Paul Man made traps Crime is always at an all time high Theft, **** fraud, ****** Delinquency Occurring frequently I read the news And it starts my day off miserably Concrete jungle Where have you gone simple things If you have a minute Tell me about the other side The place I want to go Acres of playground fun I want to hear about the trees The earth beneath your feet Do you sit by the river And feel complete

City vs Countryside
Small and observant, this girl child already loves her solitude. Dark eyes taking in everything for much later, long hair a little mussed-up, tumbling over feet pyjamas, she stands quietly in the doorway of her little bedroom. Across old parquet floors, into spare white rooms she gazes at the grown-ups in their party clothes, secretly planning that someday she will be one of them. Plain white origami birds, suspended from the high vintage ceilings, hand-made from her poet-mother's typing paper, are the only decorations. The soft, indirect lighting, all invented by her father out of simple things, creates a perfect visual tone. This quiet inventor has also chosen jazz he loves to animate the evening for his friends. These grown-ups in their party clothes, yellows, greens and reds, puffy skirts, stiletto heels, men in simple suits, white shirts, thin black ties, talented painters, holocaust survivors, intellectuals, talking, laughing, smoking too much, martini glasses in hand. What stayed with her most was the music, and the way it brought the whole world right to her. Jazz from here in her native city, Soft, sultry Bossa Nova that her soul knew even better. Only some of what she saw that night became the life she chose. The intimacy of observing, of silently forming words around what she saw, talking and laughing with friends, loving passionately, getting scorched to the bone, and the music, the music.... The music would always stay with her, leading her across wide expanses of this beautiful old world to the parts of it that she would someday taste, and see. Her life would become the stretching wide open of her heart. To love it all, to write about it all. to give this back, someday, to the music, and to this big, beautiful old world.

The question regarding the question relies on what the question really is. If the question implied is a question directed outwardly, then it may be misinterpreted as a question to oneself internally. Otherwise, a question explicitly directed inwardly is critical to deciphering the question that one will address outwardly.   If an indirect question is questioned through the user, then the question itself becomes a metaphysical question to choose from. In the event a question is said through alternate means, consider the quantitative/qualitative state of the question at the time being; as it may be resolved by asking the question in a subconscious level indeed.   Superficial means tends to seek fundamental questions to the reality of the state one naturally possesses.   In the case where the unconscious decides the opportune event to question the conscious reality, one must interpret the means in examination of the intrapersonal mentality.   If the question is imposed through correlative thought and subliminal expression, then the question itself is related to a parallel conscious state intertwined with the unconscious state of mind of progression. If the question is relative in combination to the solutions mentioned above becoming apparent, then one has means to ask the question without questioning the question itself in disparate. Otherwise, the question continues to perplex the question through the continuation of irrelevant questions that one will have thought; creating a treacherous belief so concurrent one could not have fought. Therefore, is the reality of the question portrayed to the reality you live in or the reality of others? As this poem was conclusive to subtly evoke thought in the questions we construct.

you stopped talking so I stopped trying. it's a miserable existence to feel the pain of slowly dying. and now we're trading indirect curses hoping the other will notice first and give in and say hi. but instead we sit alone and suffer in silence. just pretend that you're fine. hide behind those fake smiles and blank stares. the feelings will fade until you remember you care and you miss her.

indirect insanity
Melancholy tea; Steaming so delicately Filling with transparency Light fragrance and an indirect Flavor of neglect in A rimmed broken teacup.

Melancholy Tea
We are the genuine men We are the fulfilled men Standing together Headpiece filled with ideas. Huzzah! Our powerful voices, when We cheer together Are loud and meaningful As wind in wet grass Or dancing feet over wooden floors In our damp attics Shape with form, shade with colour, Dynamic force, motion without gesture; Those who have crossed With indirect eyes, to death’s other Kingdom Forget  us—if at all—not as found Peaceful souls, but only As the genuine men The fulfilled men. Eyes I dare meet in nightmares In death’s dream kingdom These do  appear: There, the eyes are Sunlight on a whole column There, is a tree standing And voices are In the wind’s singing More close and more bashful Than a newly formed star. Let me be closer In death’s dream kingdom Let me not wear Such obvious disguises Silk shirt, snakeskin, crossed staves In a field Behaving as the wind behaves Closer— That first meeting In the twilight kingdom This is the living land This is fruitful land Here the cloudy images Are raised, here they receive The supplication of a living man’s hand Under the twinkle of a newly formed star. It is like this In death’s other kingdom Waking together At the minute when we are Shaking with excitement Lips that would kiss Form praise to no stone. The eyes are here There are eyes here In this valley of living stars In this flowing valley This whole jaw of our lost kingdoms In this first of meeting places We ***** alone And invite speech Gathered on this beach of the free river Vision, unless The eyes disappear As the periodic star Monofoliate daisy Of death’s twilight kingdom The hope only Of whole men. *Here we go round the mulberry bush Mulberry bush mulberry bush Here we go round the mulberry bush At five o’clock in the morning.* Between the thought And the implementation Between the movement And the deed Rises the Light                                 For Thine is the Kingdom Between the inception And the construction Between the feeling And the reaction Rises the Light                                 Life is very short Between the need And the want Between the potential And the substance Between the ingredients And the ascent Rises the Light                                 For Thine is the Kingdom For Thine is Life is For Thine is the This is the way the world begins This is the way the world begins This is the way the world begins Not with a whimper but a bang.

I guess I’m okay… What more can I say? Forget it—never mind, You wouldn’t understand anyway, Would you even know what it's like? Inside a scattered disconnected mind, Employed to go on strike? Where indirect misdirect The sincerity at play, When sinusoidal chaos spikes And past meets the future present day? As paranoid points outlandishly connect At intervals of broken lines, Memory lost in recollect, An array of misshaped bells Internally infect the eternal confines Of infinite distributional decay, Parallels with no intersect, Streetwise cells with empty signs, Burned out lights, potholes, and landmines, Littered all the way. How am I to convey that all those times You let your mind wander away That I was reading, thinking, dreaming, Teeming, never idle, never strayed, Seeing, being, so far and away, Even the brightest intellect beaming, Could not grasp the feeling In the slightest of highest orders reeling, Wound unbound, or as it would be seeming, Imperfect, even to the disarray Of the tamest prefect, whose verdict Could not predict the reflect, For in this world, seeing is deceiving, As the lamest reject, defect, Increasingly decreasing, In simplistic bliss obey Crowned unsound fallacies That contradict all meaning, Hiding behind reality, the actualities Lest, protect the thoughtlessness perceiving, Let me stop you if I may... I must interject for I digress, What nonsense was I weaving? Forget it—I've lost my mind, I best be leaving, What more can I say? It's periodic I must confess, You probably don't care anyway, Yeah, yeah, I'll be okay, Until next time I guess, I wouldn't want to be misleading.

1074. Direct vs Indirect
Bullet-wrapped words Spill from dangerous mouths, nonchalantly slurping rumors from fragile adolescence. A golden-plated intention wears a mask of gentle feathers, but becomes warped with ignorance and indirect self hatred. Careless and trivial, the public twists reality into sweet butter braids, melting into an oily confusion that only small children dare to question. It is I who asks for something more and aimlessly wanders varying distance for reasons unknown, and I float on words of people I’ve never heard of, and follow their fingers as they carry and steal innocent piano keys, as if they could truly open locked doors. Though attempted and failed, the insignificant longing trails behind a broken consciousness, wriggling between the wrinkles of time and crevasses of awful brain matter, allowing this to never begin, never continue, and never end.

Confusion and Adolescence
Polar opposites, polar opposites, polar opposites. Because you wouldn’t date someone like you. In your self-loathing, what feels like an indirect compliment, the first I can remember you giving me in 134 days. And you admitted we were dating. Which nearly made me blush.

Polar Opposites II
She wants a spark that isn’t there, that never was, but always burned. Routine remains in comfort where love should reside. Two hearts once frost are made warm when one, and only joined together when separate. This truth is implanted to a girl who is as broken as the lives she’s left behind. Intentions are fueled by the hope of a road cleared ahead of the fallible thick- et their feet fall on now. Toes are scarred from entangled roots scattered the width of the path. To stray is to stay on course, she says to him. The fill of a thrill from a chase already deemed triumphant ball- oons his wings. He soars in the sky to rival the eagle. Though ev- en she cannot ignore the threat of temptation. Indirect in- iquities thrive in the life of the one who began this feat by fault of suppressed ignorance now made alive. Infidelity envelopes their lackluster rel- ation. They wonder if there ev- er was anything there at all. A friendly companionship confused as love? What is love but a con- nection between friends. His protests fall on deaf ears. She has felt the flames, and they are warm. Their paths are clear, but not as predicted. In- to the sunset they walk, between them another heart, more cold than the one they shared.

I don't love him but he's here and you aren't And he doesn't ******* hold my hand, all he does is **** me And god forbid that god forbids you from being near me Because when I see nothing but headlights and tire tread I think of salvation I will hold onto you tighter than my father when he came home and told me I'd hate him We don't speak anymore except about the time you were supposed to kiss me but instead I felt my jaw shatter And he still wishes his fist could've done the same to yours as a 16th birthday present for me But I guess you've never liked my voice so why would you wanna hear it My tongue falls back into my throat like words I've choked on in front of you If you came back, even as a dream, I would fill half a glass and let you decide if I'm emptier I have the audacity to think I meant something more to you than to your temper And I never needed a lighter to play with fire when baby, I had you I fear fences because the one in my front yard couldn't keep your voice out I'd gate off my mind but I'm sure I'd still fear January the 1st and I might even miss you I always loved your hands even when they were breaking me Even if they've made me flinch at a raised hand or a friendly pat on the back I ******* hated the roadmaps in your arms because they couldn't guide me out of your grasp I knew you were dangerous but I was excited by the fear of getting caught with you I told you, "I am too ******* young." And I felt more electricity in your fist hitting my cheekbones than I ever had in your lips Even when I lay my sorrowed mind on his silk sheets I cannot fall asleep anymore

I don't love him but he's here and you aren't And he doesn't ******* hold my hand, all he does is **** me And god forbid that god forbids you from being near me Because when I see nothing but headlights and tire tread I think of salvation I will hold onto you tighter than my father when he came home and told me I'd hate him We don't speak anymore except about the time you were supposed to kiss me but instead I felt my jaw shatter And he still wishes his fist could've done the same to yours as a 16th birthday present for me But I guess you've never liked my voice so why would you wanna hear it My tongue falls back into my throat like words I've choked on in front of you If you came back, even as a dream, I would fill half a glass and let you decide if I'm emptier I have the audacity to think I meant something more to you than to your temper And I never needed a lighter to play with fire when baby, I had you I fear fences because the one in my front yard couldn't keep your voice out I'd gate off my mind but I'm sure I'd still fear January the 1st and I might even miss you I always loved your hands even when they were breaking me Even if they've made me flinch at a raised hand or a friendly pat on the back I ******* hated the roadmaps in your arms because they couldn't guide me out of your grasp I knew you were dangerous but I was excited by the fear of getting caught with you I told you, "I am too ******* young." And I felt more electricity in your fist hitting my cheekbones than I ever had in your lips Even when I lay my sorrowed mind on his silk sheets I cannot fall asleep anymore

It began as an indirect interest Transformed into a simple acquaintanceship Quietly building A little unsure, both hopeful He watched my favorite movies with me I wish I could've invented a new word for cuddling; Our bodies fit like puzzle pieces that day It left me feeling shaky and scared as hell when we finally parted The first kiss was my favorite part Not knowing what was going to happen next I would've sat through thousands of his games I always said I didn't want to but I would've helped carry his equipment anywhere, anytime His left eyebrow always challenged me Your unshaven jaw always managed to find the perfect place against my cheek I've never spent that much time on the phone I can't imagine trying to laugh as quietly as possible in the latest hours of the night with anyone else I can't describe it That feeling when everything in the world is just right, because of one person? That's not what this was Because it was rarely ever right This isn't a love poem Puzzle pieces can't make up for endless arguments Being ignored all night Getting adjusted to the fact that "hockey friends" means that he's with his ex-girlfriend Seeing hand-written letters from her still in his room when I finally gave everything He was so in the wrong, so why was I being interrogated? Controlling is not the word I’d use, I was always given a choice But what was I supposed to do When he didn’t like anything I did but all I wanted was to be with him "I don’t want you to go to that party "I trust you, I just don’t trust them "I’ll talk to you after this movie I’m at with all my female friends "I don’t like how many guy friends you have "Do you think he’s cute? "Do you talk to other boys? "Do you think about other boys? "Promise? "Tell me that you promise "Are you lying? "Tell me that you’re not lying "You should tell me all the guys you were into before me "I don’t like when you talk about your exes "If you don’t want to argue then just hang up the phone "Why do you always hang up on me? "Why are you always mad about nothing? "Why do you always start arguments? Everything starts out innocent But it’s not long before things began their descent Getting to know people is exciting Until you start fighting Liking someone can be the best feeling in the world But it’s never long before everything becomes unfurled I’ve always heard that a good relationship takes compromise and hard work I heard that in a good relationship you have to apologize for what you’ve done wrong But eventually I was apologizing for everything and it didn’t even take long So how long do you have to know someone before all the good in your relationship peaks? How long do you have to know someone before they make a lasting impression?

shouting                   LOVE silently in most indirect unmanner across gaping expansively unechoing carpeted floor of semi-living room         (soundlessly she smiles)

We count cells by manual methods, Using the counting chamber, Plating & colony forming unit count. We let them be counted automatedly, Using electrical resistance, Flow cytometry & image analysis. Then there is this indirect method too, Using spectrophotometry we count, Or even by the impedance microbiology.

Counting
By: David W. Clare I sorta knew better but became intrigued at the notion... It all began with one lonely emotion! Like a poisoned love potion... Out of the blue she sent money to the front desk of my flop house hotel deep in the city! More came later along with promises and lies... The bellman was asking way too many questions... I told him it was from an old debt. I bet he saw right through that alibi. He acted shy then the word got out I was a creep, I'm no little Bo Peep! She and I made plans to meet I was convinced by her intense sense of essence... She sent **** pictures in the mail, the front desk had opened to inspect! I suspect an indirect suspicion, the coat-check girl even ran through my pockets stole my coins and matches. Tough little ***** likes to rant, wants to flaunt her wants my way, asked me to pay for a roll in the hay after she got off work one day... Then the diabolical debutante went away...
