"lait" poems
Bilanggo, nagiipon ng problema
Naubos sakin ang iyo sanang antukin na maghapon
Sa lait ng tadhana mukha'y hindi na maipipinta
Kung puwede lamang ito ay itatago nalang sa baon.
Laging talo, lagi nalang kasing kalaban ang isipan
Ang mga bagay na gusto ay hindi parin nalalaman
Sa buhay, napakahirap ang walang pangarap
Sa buhay, mahirap ang walang makausap.
Pati siguro multo ay papatusin
Pambawas lang ng iisipin,
Para lang may makasama
Di na takot, nasanay na ata sa kaba.
Sa unti-unting kong tanong sa puso at sarili,
Na saan nga bang pasya ako nagkamali?

Sobrang pighati ang bumabalot sa hinahon ng bawat hininga
Umiiyak ng tuldok sa bawat letra
Napwepwersa ang tandang padamdam sa bawat salita
Negatibo ang laging nakikita
Nasaan ang pangarap sa bawat sanaysay?
Nasaan ang katotohanan sa tunay na buhay?
Nalinlang tayo
Galit at lait ng mundo
Sumusukob sa buong pagkatao
Di ko na makita kung nasaan na tayo
Kadiliman ang kinasusukalam
Ngayon ating pinaglalaruan
Liwanag ngayon ang pinagtataguan
Tila tayo ay napagiwanan
Nasaan na ba tayo?
Meron pa bang tayo?

Are we good global citizens?
Didn't we sell the world Uranium?
The future is an open book--
Here's a concept worth a look,
Each of us in a calm place,
One peaceful, equitable human race,
One vast people, maybe café au lait,
One global language, perhaps,
One informal faith, for chicks and chaps,
Billions of human ants, billions,
Pigeons ready for Peace Religion,
A future for the young,
Or has capitalism really won?
Who comes second in any war?
Haven't we heard it all before?
Are we good global citizens?
Who did sell the world Uranium?
Well.............

Wiling away someone else's
restless hours as they serve you
your elegant cafe au lait
you're flicking through newspapers
or maybe waiting for a friend
or a lover
or maybe contemplating
your next masterpiece
scribbling or drawing
on a folded napkin
or in a notebook
& watching someone
get out slowly out of a taxi
as someone rides by on a bike
& the first umbrella goes up
& it starts to rain
& the music is jazz
or blues & you're
dreaming of something
just people watching
& the hours pass
by almost invisibly
as if afraid to disturb

The Coastline
The salty spray
Crashing to the shore
Takes my breath away
I want to see more.
The coastline curves
Around the glorious bay
The beach huts serve
The finest cafe au lait.
Crunching pebbles underfoot
Sand in-between my toes
Forgetting the time it’s took
But then nobody knows.
Knows my whereabouts
Where I have been
Cannot hear my shouts
Or hear me scream
I’m joined by a lone gull
I offer him to share my lunch
In two seconds flat our space was full
Of hungry beaks eager to munch.
I enjoyed their company
Although I couldn’t hear myself think
There was that many
Birds fighting to eat and drink.
They eventually flew
They had other plans I could see
They had found someone new
And had finished with me.
I cared not a jot now and explored
The ragged coastline to the new town.
Rusty red boats were moored
Next to new ones clad in brown.
Ropes twisted, knotted and tied
Holding fast against the afternoon swell
The time suggests the incoming tide
My walk was over by order of the ship's bell.

orbs of blue in the drizzle of rain,
a flesh-numbing cold; myriad of pain;
red-hued cheeks and traces of benzocaine.
russet irides shift with the aegean's quick moves
through the black pupil, colors to exclude
and brows are squinting; just in slight disapproval.
clumsy dance of eyes in the dim afternoon light,
café au lait für Zwei, für dich und mich allein,
as we bid our longing gazes a sorrowful good night.

It was a quiet afternoon of reminiscing
Nostalgia lingered in the sunlit air
intermingling with the sweet aroma of coffee
as I sipped and leaned back in my chair
˜
He walked up to me as I sat by the window
I waited to see what he wanted to say
“Your skin is the color of my mocha’, he smiled.
‘Just a notch deeper than your café au lait.’
°
With his jet black hair and Mediterranean eyes
And a physique worthy of a prize winning stallion
His confident air and his subtle smirk
He had to be greek, or maybe a charming Italian
˜
Long hair in a messy bun that didn’t care
jeans ripped in strategic places
His gaze never left my quizzical eyes
obscuring everyone else’s faces
°
He waited for me to respond
mere seconds since his saunter
Forever engraving in my mind,
This coffee shop encounter…

a plain poem (the first time I came in you)
a plain poem, light and effervescent, a flim-flan tasting,
plein de absurde rimes, full of nonsensical rhymes,
a lattice of criss crossing pastry sugary lines, the ones,
cannot, struggle to deduce, induce, reduce
from my constipated vocabulary
oh well
~
*the first time I came in you,
entered, bidden welcome,
suffused a bridge between
the party of the first part,
the party of the second part,
sugar lightness airy nonsense,
two spirits dancing the singular
pas de deux of their finite lives,
a performance unbeatable,
unrepeatable,
lost to the perfection annals
Shockingly, Surprisingly, Summarily,
did not compose an ode,
don't mine a new vein of ore,
even write a plain poe poem
as best can recall,
at the candle melting of the
sealing wax of the deal,
gave an honest speech,
instantly falling fast asleep
with nary a grunted word
ever since l,
cannot write of plain love plainly,
so she makes me pay with a
new living elegant elegy daily,
a quatrain, what a pain,
this iambic panting meter
love poem writing
jeez louise,
how I wish could write of
roses red and violets blue,
get back to sleep,
oh well then,
back to work
got to make those sad moans,
hers, go away,
so please excuse me
near ten years later,
still paying the dues of the
initializing error of my way
she rumbles-mumbles in her
pre-awakening dream state,
so please excuse, got to go, think up
some implicated complicated
verses to soothe away
her simple poorly hidden anxieties
you see,
I am happy paying
on and on,
writing like the devil furious,
she is stirring, coffee soon,
cafe au lait
if you get my meaning,
but still cannot beat,
repeat, re-alive
that simple plain living poem notated,
when first I came in her*

“creamy unto delicious” he marvels and marvelously replies,
when a hazy memory from mournings past asks howz it taste?
this café au lait in a french handleless cup big enough to drown
your bad dreams, just the thing, the A way to start to day, manufacturing schemes to wipe the slate or just add to a long longingly “to never do” list, time frozen, whitened emptily clean, a familiar frenemy
but staying in bed on a beauty of mostly sunny, partly cloudsy day,
is tempting now that he is armed and dangerous with mug gigantic,
doing nothing is so sublime, until a lunchtime of Corona and lime,
reminds you that dinner planning will be needed under the influence of vin rosé, ordering by app so easy, marveling at the choicest array, easy quick under his non-currant existence, wordplay for no-audience
when there is no one there to disagree or temper your eyes appetite,
or bring you café with heart designs in caramel and white, or inquire
howz it taste so you nonetheless reply out loud with tears while wondering how memories live-on, in drinks and catch phrases,
you answer when she no longer, not here to ask, to gentle reprimand,
but answer the answer to everything, with an all encompassing
crémeux à délicieux creamy unto delicious,
reminder to David, you now, king of nothingness, shepherd of no one,
no longer need a real voice to answer unto anything
~for my lover of everything french~

walking slow, oh it could be called dancing
crowded with Bourbon Street night people
music filling the air, we stop every so often
wrapped arms around each other and swayed
firing up to the already hot-blood New Orleans
seems to affect all the out-of-town tourists and
the nights are specially made for physical reaction
big easy, sin city, whatever, a city of cool coitus
her willowy body pressed so close to mine
her face in my neck nuzzling and groping
I feel her eyelashes teasing, pleasing, my neck
we're fused together with lover's super glue
she broke away, her café au lait eyes dancing
as she tiptoed up to speak softly in my ear
in her intense and absolute Cajun accent
sha, we gon stay out heah on da street all night
lovely Denise didn't need to say anymore
I danced her back to her pad above Galatoire's
and it wasn't just to get the grime off when
we showered with plenty of soap and water

Smokey Edge, Georgia.
I Wait in the diner. Not long ago Whites Only.
Now filled with black folks.
Mom would say “persons of color,”
that would include the two Hispanic truckers
and the Chinese cook.
Mom said “don’t go, no need to”.
She’s never been.
Gives me the silent treatment
while murdering Chopin on tortured keys.
Cousin Ed slides into the booth.
Across from me he glistens sweat,
wipes his forehead, grins, squeezes my hand.
“Hi cousin Citygirl, “ and adds “Chocolate au lait”!
Mocking, or teasing, I don’t care.
“Ok, double espresso” I say.
Red on white No Trespassing sign rusts in the grass.
Vine assaulted shack is all what’s left of it,
the Juke Joint where grandpa played
banjo with a bottleneck slide,
making it screech and sing.
Where the women Bess sang and danced.
The one he talked about incessantly,
when he had forgotten who we were.
How he pressed into her, ****** her behind the joint,
how she smelled and laughed and rocked the blues,
how she put her lips to the glass of bathtub gin, just so.
Short crepuscule gives way to night. Mosquitos come thick.
“Listen up Citygirl, hear the sounds, ghost drums and strings.”
I hear grandpa’s banjo, the slide’s screech, Bess sings.
I smell the funk, the sweat, ripe heat, the Blues.
I put my arm around his waist, grind into him
I want him hard, in me, lick his sweat.
He pushes me away, “hear up Citygirl,
I‘m not grandpa and you aint no Bess.”

I envisage a Planet Earth,
All multicultural, for what it's worth,
One human race, of café au lait,
Putting the boot into prejudice today,
No more disenchanted refugees,
Grass is always greener, if you please,
The shifting sands of humanity,
No more disenfranchised second class,
True equality of life at last,
I do dream big, you see,
One global race, free from bigotry.....

Elegantly tall and slim
The face a cool façade
Of competence; no-one sees in
The world is far too hard
Hair of gold, expertly coiffed
Her nails are manicured
And filed; pretty but not to soft
Her aura: self-assured
She reclines against her chair
Commands of the garçon
A thé-au-lait; a regal stare -
He runs to be her pawn
Dark glasses reveal soft eyes
A smile touches her lips
Her true persona she must hide
From work relationships
Her life may not be easy, but
One pleasure's undenied
To sit on the Champs-Elysées
And watch the world go by

Mon Père, ce grand Chêne,
Je le croyais indéracinable, en ses terres,
Comme ce chêne Corse, sur la roche, poussé.
Il nous semblait si grand, il paraissait si fort,
Si longtemps résistant aux grands vents de la vie,
Sous les châtaigneraies et parmi les bruyères,
Il marchait, puis rêvait.
Parfois, il m'amenait, dans son refuge,
y faisait provision de «corned-beef» et de lait
en boite "gloria", et aussi de «bastelles»,
et ces repas hâtifs me semblaient un festin.
Mais plus que tout, je goûtais si belle liberté.
Disparues les contraintes.
D'un pas de montagnard, il nous menait, souvent,
En ces lieux de granit, qui semblaient son domaine.
Il me mit dans les mains, sa fine carabine,
dont j'aimais le canon à l’acier effilé ;
mais avant que je presse, le geai était parti.
Il ne me gronda pas.
Le soir, si peu dormeurs, avec Régis, mon frère,
dans la chambre aux obus, des tués de quatorze,
dont un panier d'osier exhalait tant les truites,
Nous le savions dormir dans la chambre à côté,
nous ne cherchions pas trop, sommeil prompt à venir.
Je lisais de vieux livre.
Et puis nous descendions, furtifs vers la rivière,
encaissé dans les roches le «Fiume grosso» grondait.
Mon père nous racontait qu'il y avait dormi
avec quelques amis, à la flambée des feux.
Et le bruit lancinant était une musique
qui malgré le soleil nous tenait éveillé.
Magie des eaux profondes.
Quand un jour de détresse, je perdis «Nils le prince»
ressentant mon chagrin, il me facilita
L’achat d'un jeune chien, je l'ai encore au cœur,
ce cadeau si exquis, qui fut baume sur plaie
Merci de m'avoir fait, ce présent plein d'amour.
La tendresse d'un père.
Il vécut si longtemps, que je ne prêtais guère,
attention au torrent qui se faisait ruisseau,
aux blancs cheveux venus, au dos un peu voûté,
tant les fils ont besoin de croire invincible
Le père qui fut grand à l’aube de leurs vies.
Besoin de protection.
Un père est une force qui paraît infinie
pour le jeune enfant qui en a tant besoin
peut être imaginaire, qui soutient et le guide.
Alors devenu homme, il découvre un soir
que le chêne vacille, s'appuie sur une canne.
Il est désormais seul.
Paul d'Aubin – Toulouse,
«Poésie élégiaque»,
En l'honneur de son père André Dominique,
dit, Candria », décédé le 29 novembre 2010.»

*I ask of her, when drowsy, pre-sleep,
as my eye lids,
elusively and gravitationally, pulled ever lower,
a desperate last chance request by
my vast audience of too few,
give the poet's subconscious a fair shot,
a morning poem delivery,
you've requested, route assigned,
to the front door stoop steps of your lips,
for me to deliver, and earn my keep
if only a title you will provision?
she says:
lights out honey chile,
as she kisses the poodle good night,
you know you are quite
the acquired taste,
showing me such a fine time tonight,
ordering in vegetable lo mein,
won ton soup and a
spring roll in the summer time
washed down with an icy-white Bordeaux,
watching Guardians of the Galaxy (Part Two) on the telly
so all you and
your bonnie idea of showing a girl a good time,
quite an expropriation of a foreign cultural potpourri
a thank you yawn provided, a positive confirmation
of her appreciation + an acknowledgement of her AM order,
morning cafe au lait requested
in a big cup with no handles,
a croissant with French butter,
avec un poème exceptionnel
the title tithed,
poet-this, "you, an acquired taste"
please deliver it at seven o'clock sharp,
so I may be first to give it a like,
read it with my cafe,
tho you are an acquired taste,
you have already
acquired my heart*

i watched the little cat
watch me
safe, secure and warm
behind the quarter pane
of glass
just past a kitten,
all curiousity
and lithe loveliness
of form
eyes
bright chips of amber
ears
caramel crema,
tipped with coccoa,
tongue
coral pink lipstick
licking the window wall.
a little red collar
and a tinkling bell
wriggling nutmeg
and cafe au lait body
walking
up
and
down
the four foot promenade
not quiet
yet perfected
the
turn-around,
but trying really hard
tail swaying hypnotically
keeping a mystic beat
this cat
knows
it is beautiful
but then don't they all.
i
watched
the little cat
watching me.
and wondered
what did
the little cat

my loves, the many accumulated mn-
eumonic responses play'd on future
women. ideas based on the poiv-
rottes of idealized affectation past.
cesspools emptied by the horse-tanks
with stelth in the night, but the-
re couldn't be much stealth for a target
reeking of **** and convalescence.
sadness and that odor would
hang heavy in the first cold rains
of winter. transplanting thoughts,
always transplanted emotions of
subjugation. she was waiting for
someone, this now past but once
future poivrotte. feet to be
knock'd from under, body to find
lulling embrace. mind the levitat-
ing affect. mind, the missing
portion of our feint'd love.
and
- I was always empty and
both sad and happy
with a third-class train ride, at
mon poivrottes' expense of mentality.
we could used to lay together talk-
king in adult tones through our
child mouths. remembering to poc-
ket fruit to retain our breakfast
from freezing. speaking no truer
words than those utter'd while
embraced. words from the mou-
ths of us children. truer words
never could be counterfeit, never
could be spoken without loss of
conscience. Cezanne-dreams of color,
Impressionist subconscious,
j'adore mon poivrottes. feasting of mo-
vement and staining all around with
the strong cafe au lait. follow'd aper-
itif, following digestifs, following back
to lie. to flow words from our child mo-
uths, we would walk paths through the
woods in the Autumn twilight. the trees
were sculptures having their leaves
stripped bare. walking alongside, we walk'd
ourselves down the same separate path.

L'échelonnement des haies
Moutonne à l'infini, mer
Claire dans le brouillard clair
Qui sent bon les jeunes baies.
Des arbres et des moulins
Sont légers sur le vert tendre
Où vient s'ébattre et s'étendre
L'agilité des poulains.
Dans ce vague d'un Dimanche
Voici se jouer aussi
De grandes brebis aussi
Douces que leur laine blanche.
Tout à l'heure déferlait
L'onde, roulée en volutes,
De cloches comme des flûtes
Dans le ciel comme du lait.

Si d'un mort qui pourri repose
Nature engendre quelque chose,
Et si la generation
Se fait de la corruption,
Une vigne prendra naissance
De l'estomac et de la pance
Du bon Rabelais, qui boivoit
Tousjours ce pendant qu'il vivoit
La fosse de sa grande gueule
Eust plus beu de vin toute seule
(L'epuisant du nez en deus cous)
Qu'un porc ne hume de lait dous,
Qu'Iris de fleuves, ne qu'encore
De vagues le rivage more.
Jamais le Soleil ne l'a veu
s Tant fût-il matin, qu'il n'eut beu,
Et jamais au soir la nuit noire
Tant fut **** ne l'a veu sans boire.
Car, alteré, sans nul sejour
Le gallant boivoit nuit et jour.
Mais quand l'ardante Canicule
Ramenoit la saison qui brule,
Demi-nus se troussoit les bras,
Et se couchoit tout plat à bas
Sur la jonchée, entre les taces :
Et parmi des escuelles grasses
Sans nulle honte se touillant,
Alloit dans le vin barbouillant
Comme une grenouille en sa fange
Puis ivre chantoit la louange
De son ami le bon Bacus,
Comme sous lui furent vaincus
Les Thebains, et comme sa mere
Trop chaudement receut son pere,
Qui en lieu de faire cela
Las ! toute vive la brula.
Il chantoit la grande massue,
Et la jument de Gargantüe,
Son fils Panurge, et les païs
Des Papimanes ébaïs :
Et chantoit les Iles Hieres
Et frere Jan des autonnieres,
Et d'Episteme les combas :
Mais la mort qui ne boivoit pas
Tira le beuveur de ce monde,
Et ores le fait boire en l'onde
Qui fuit trouble dans le giron
Du large fleuve d'Acheron.
Or toi quiconques sois qui passes
Sur sa fosse repen des taces,
Repen du bril, et des flacons,
Des cervelas et des jambons,
Car si encor dessous la lame
Quelque sentiment a son ame,
Il les aime mieux que les Lis,
Tant soient ils fraichement cueillis.

Ma Mamie.
Mamie a toujours été là pour nous,
Que ce soit pour faire des confitures ou bien des bisous.
Julia et moi sautons de joie à chaque fois qu'on la voit,
On ne compte jamais les heures pour arriver chez toi.
Tu m'as appris à tricoter et me grondait quand j'étais dissipée,
Mais chaque matin, sans faute, tu me faisais des pâtes au lait.
Grâce à toi nous avons toujours des bons petits plats,
Qu'il pleuve, qu'il vente, qu'il neige ou qu'il fasse froid.
Tu râles parfois parce que je suis difficile,
Et que je refuse d'avaler un champignon,
Cela dit je ne me fais pas de bile,
Je sais bien que tes repas seront toujours bons.
Je ne me considère pas une petite fille parfaite,
Puisque je suis souvent au bout du monde,
Mais j'espère que tu ne me feras jamais la tête,
Car rien pour moi ne compte plus au monde,
Que de te savoir heureuse, joyeuse et en bonne santé.
Bien qu'aujourd'hui, je parte pour l'Université,
Je veux que tu saches que je ne t'ai pas oubliée.
Tu es toujours bien au chaud dans mon cœur,
Une place spéciale qui fait tout mon bonheur.
Tu accompagnes tous mes voyages,
En pensée et souvent même en image.
Je me revois toute petite m'endormir dans tes bras,
Alors je ne suis plus seule, je sais que tu es là.
Je t'écris ce petit poème,
Pour que jamais tu n'oublies à quel point je t'aime.
**** des yeux, **** du cœur" ne s'applique pas,
Nous sommes une famille unie et ça, ca ne s'invente pas.
Cette place dans mon cœur n'appartient à personne d'autre que toi,
N'aie pas peur de la perdre, elle sera toujours là.

She looked at me with colorless eyes
And café-au-lait face.
Beads and thread spun into her hair,
Descending to her waist.
The scent of rosemary and answers drifted off her skin.
She fed me no lies, assessing the situation
With critical efficiency.
"I think I have something for that."
I waited in a red velvet, upholstered chair,
Twiddling my thumbs as she shuffled through the shelves
Lining the walls, crammed with books and trinkets and vials.
She selected one, careful not to drop it on the knitted rug
And handed it to me with a promise.
"Drink this. It will do what needs to be done."
I gave her thanks and payment,
And stepped out of her residence, happy.
As I returned home, the grape-juice colored potion
Was opened and sipped out of a wineglass.
And nothing changed.
I peered around the room.
Inhaled.
It still reminded me of him.
The walls were still his favorite color,
The fridge still held the pictures he took,
All I could see or smell or touch reminded me of
Him.
But he wasn't there.
He still wasn't, and he would never come back
Because I kicked him out in a fit of madness
And I never realized how much I would miss him
And some stupid potion will never get me to stop-
knock knock
Hello?

Comme on voit sur la branche, au mois de Mai, la rose
En sa belle jeunesse, en sa première fleur,
Rendre le Ciel jaloux de sa vive couleur,
Quand l'Aube, de ses pleurs, au point du jour, l'arrose :
La Grâce dans sa feuille, et l'Amour se repose,
Embaumant les jardins et les arbres d'odeur :
Mais battue ou de pluie ou d'excessive ardeur,
Languissante, elle meurt feuille à feuille déclose.
Ainsi, en ta première et jeune nouveauté,
Quand la terre et le Ciel honoraient ta beauté,
La Parque t'a tué, et cendre tu reposes.
Pour obsèques reçoit mes larmes et mes pleurs,
Ce vase plein de lait, ce panier plein de fleurs,
Afin que vif et mort ton corps ne soit que roses.

Il avait l'âme aride et vaine de sa mère,
L'œil froid du dieu voleur qui marche à reculons ;
Il promenait sa grâce, insouciante, altière,
Et les nymphes disaient : « Quel marbre nous aimons ! »
Un jour que cet enfant d'Hermès et d'Aphrodite
Méprisait Salmacis, nymphe du mont Ida,
La vierge, l'embrassant d'une étreinte subite,
Pénétra son beau corps si bien qu'elle y resta !
De surprise et d'horreur ses divines compagnes,
Qui dans cet être unique en reconnaissaient deux,
Comme un sphinx égaré dans leurs chastes montagnes,
Fuyaient ce double faune au visage douteux.
La volupté souffrait dans sa prunelle étrange,
Il faisait des serments d'une hésitante voix ;
L'amour et le dédain par un hideux mélange
Dans son vague sourire étaient peints à la fois.
Son inutile sein n'offrait ni lait ni flamme ;
En s'y posant, l'oreille, hélas ! eût découvert
Un cœur d'homme où chantait un pauvre cœur de femme,
Comme un oiseau perdu dans un temple désert.
Ô symbole effrayant de ces unions louches
Où l'un des deux amants, sans joie et sans désir,
Fuit le regard de l'autre ; où l'une des deux bouches
En goûtant les baisers sent l'autre les subir !

By the sea,
I watched as
the thoughts
within my mind
faded with the white
effervescence, I am
wrapped in a cashmere
blanket as I drink my
cafe au lait, the wind
tousled my hair as I
contemplated the
silence of the hour,
within its watercolor
becoming the gentle,
soft soul of mine
seeking to understand
the meaning of love,
even though,
I am misunderstood,
and so, I sit here,
content as a dandelion,
fragile, yet still yearning
to dream.

a jade rimmed cup and painted saucer
cradle warmth laced with gentle sweetness
subduing roasted strength into peaceable stability.
whites and creams and chestnut browns
froth and dissolve into a delicate caramel shade
as minutes are sipped away in uncommon quietness.
yours is always the shy whisper--
i love you.
