"leaping" poems
your little voice Over the wires came leaping and i felt suddenly dizzy With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers wee skipping high-heeled flames courtesied before my eyes or twinkling over to my side Looked up with impertinently exquisite faces floating hands were laid upon me I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing up Up with the pale important stars and the Humorous moon dear girl How i was crazy how i cried when i heard over time and tide and death leaping Sweetly your voice

Your Little Voice
let it not be confused let no one else's name ring throughout these sentences let this be a hatchet let me put this to rest this is not a test i don't want to think about shipwrecks anymore i am tired of folding apologies into origami birds and placing them at the headstones to your tantrums this is not is not geology class these are promises written on razorblades     *& if you are getting choked up      then maybe you should be* maybe we should be buried with our telescopes face down my mouth is full of sorry all for being honest we are falling out of orbit we are burning bystanders so cast away your callous condolences because no one is clapping in this waist deep water this is not a baptism so do not tell strangers that this was a chance to drown any differently i am not a catalogue of constellations you cannot name this is not mythology so stop believing your horoscope i am not a wishing well i am just a wall for you to paint post nuclear fallout & antonyms for catharsis on we destroy the things that are not ours- the wanton ways we embody wrecking ***** and then cry over the rubble this is not a heap or a mosaic this is leaping off a thousand story building with no one to catch you at the bottom & maybe that's why some quiet moments are so fragile, maybe that's why butterflies have mimicry your words are black powder and poetry is your musketry i guess that makes me your blindfold

hands on fire
The Frog was doing his thing Hopping, Croaking, Splashing, In to any water that he could see, He happened upon This Jigsaw of black and white Morning sir, he croaked The Cow looked down, "MOOOOO" Pardon I didn't quite get that, "MOOOOVE" Your on the tastiest grass Below your webbed feet, "Sorry sir," Didn't wish to stomp on your Lunch with my feet, So he hoped along, as Frogs do Then turned around, Hopped his best, speed built up Leaping with all his might, Over the Cow, Then gracefully on to his feet, "Cow turned" Whhhat are you doing little thing, As the Frog Replied, I was seeing if I could Jump over you Why? Would you do such a thing, Well mum told me A Cow jumped over the moon, Yes we do Replied Cow Famously Are we for doing this, Feat never seen. "Frog replied" Riibit, well I just jumped over you So now I an the best jumper it seems, Confused, *Thinking, Laughing, Out loud with a MMOOooo You aren't a better jumper than me, We will see little Frog said With that he did a Bounce, Hop, Jumped, Over the Cow once again it seemed, Now it is your turn As Cow looked on nervously So he hooved his feet 1, 2, 3, With that he tried "FAILED" Lost his balance, And in to another's Cow pat His face did meet. Now the cow was not only Black & White But now he was Covered, & Smelled, Like poo, embarrassed Was he The Frog did laugh Ribit, Ribit, Ribit, Loud and clear, Cow looked at frog, Now Cow do you see, Never believe what you hear, Until you see it with your own eyes, This is what my mother read to me, And with that, Frog bounced off happily.

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may **** me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

Still I Rise
cracked nails with peeling hands ugly dancers' feet endless hours of stretching, leaping, bowing, and creating straight lines with no mistakes you destroy me but, I love every moment of it

DANCE
Heat beats down upon the street Birds too hot to fly, Blistered sand you cannot stand Drenched with sweat am I. Cows collect in shadow deep Panting sheep hang head, Goshawk flies in cobalt skies Hills of grass stand dead. Whisp of smoke, a puff of breeze Sirens scream in air, Running men in squads of ten Emerge from everywhere. Now the rising wind takes charge Runs with leaping flame Into crown of eucalypts To rage across the plain. Too late the tenders hoses pour, Too late the fireman’s shout Inferno hot has run amok And all control a rout. Generating mighty winds The fire charges forth Spiralling in furnace air To incinerate for sport. Vanquished men exhausted stand Watch with useless eyes, As raging flames consume their truck, Inside a good mate dies. A live thing in the burnished night It writhes and spirals high Across the flaring treetops Hot, red smoke fills the sky. As sudden as it starts, it stops A wind change in the air. Ravaged forest stark and black Hot ashes everywhere. Hills of cinders smoking now Stock in death’s repair, Homesteads rendered charcoal like Farmers in despair. A silence in the ravaged hills Birdless in the sky, Bushfire horror, death and smoke Enough to make you cry. Marshalg In support of my Australian brethren and their torched nation. 30 January 2013

We fall, and hard, and in the shadows, ***** ourselves on snags, that tear our clothes; grazed and cut, we stagger on - Impressions, ideas, fancies! Of these have we been disabused. But is this spring, come again? Lovely, yesterday, in the bright sunlight, to see you, felt green hat in among the photo clouds, apple suedes on the gallery's dank floor. Melvyn,   and I, merrily circling with you the light cloud images, my nostrils full of pollen spikes. The pictures: wisps of trailing dreams churning in ‘scapes of infinite blue; dark clouds, in amongst them, too. Photographs in two time places caught; at once, all: the other and t'other. So excitement swells, and everything besides us quells, because the knowing of itself, knows, and dares beyond the frames; to skirt knowingly the unsaid; to want beyond the wounded past, to pull things, once again, inside out. In whimsy’s currents flow these thoughts, these feelings, these drives; swirling in eddies, so that as you sit, on a summer’s day, it moves, a mirror to everything above. The wavelets on the surface, hammered into shape, burn, bite and dazzle; the sun’s flames leaping and dancing on ripples. In the basement, on the concrete, your Y proneness shifts, releasing knees on black-clad thighs; two pendulums swinging, brushing; yawing metronomes in the cool, coolness of my desultory thoughts. Oh, what am I saying? Feelings like reveries walk along these silver lips straying languorously. These myths are too soon made, carried one to the next, one-on-one, until contained no longer, become new truths.

The old pond
Look, stranger, at this island now The leaping light for your delight discovers, Stand stable here And silent be, That through the channels of the ear May wander like a river The swaying sound of the sea. Here at the small field's ending pause Where the chalk wall falls to the foam, and its tall ledges Oppose the pluck And knock of the tide, And the shingle scrambles after the **** ing surf, and the gull lodges A moment on its sheer side. Far off like floating seeds the ships Diverge on urgent voluntary errands; And the full view Indeed may enter And move in memory as now these clouds do, That pass the harbour mirror And all the summer through the water saunter.

(the gate is a crowded mess, please no special requests, be thankful you got a seat, this flight is sold out and I’m beat.   I get up and stand on my chair and say) *I give thanks for: the uncommon greatness of common sense for the steady approach of that wondrous day when kindness is neither random or unexpected, but the rule, not the exception for our opinions and deeds, that are our own, derived without coercion, born from our thoughts and observations and that we are equal to both owning them and to changing them that we live in a time that friendships can grow just through the quick exchange of words leaping bounds for eyes that see deep deeper than skin, ears that hear what those ashamed wish you didn’t, hands that grasp regardless of distance, the taste of  kisses that come easy sweet   for the  day when I at last knew, the pleasure of giving so far exceeded receiving, that giving and receiving became synonymous that I learned that the best skill to possess  is to anticipate the needs of others that my lucky position in this world permits me to act on the things for which I am thankful* that someday I will need no longer inquire, are you my poem, for the answer will be self-evident to us both

LaGuardia Airport, Thanksgiving Day Eve
I. Hear the sledges with the bells— Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they ****** ****** ****** In their icy air of night! While the stars, that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. II. Hear the mellow wedding bells, Golden bells! What a world of happiness their harmony foretells! Through the balmy air of night How they ring out their delight! From the molten golden-notes, And all in tune, What a liquid ditty floats To the turtle-dove that listens, while she gloats On the moon! Oh, from out the sounding cells, What a gush of euphony voluminously wells! How it swells! How it dwells On the future! how it tells Of the rapture that impels To the swinging and the ringing Of the bells, bells, bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells! III. Hear the loud alarum bells— Brazen bells! What a tale of terror now their turbulency tells! In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright! Too much horrified to speak, They can only shriek, shriek, Out of tune, In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire, In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire Leaping higher, higher, higher, With a desperate desire, And a resolute endeavor Now—now to sit or never, By the side of the pale-faced moon. Oh, the bells, bells, bells! What a tale their terror tells Of Despair! How they clang, and clash, and roar! What a horror they outpour On the ***** of the palpitating air! Yet the ear it fully knows, By the twanging, And the clanging, How the danger ebbs and flows; Yet the ear distinctly tells, In the jangling, And the wrangling, How the danger sinks and swells, By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells— Of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— In the clamor and the clangor of the bells! IV. Hear the tolling of the bells— Iron bells! What a world of solemn thought their monody compels! In the silence of the night, How we shiver with affright At the melancholy menace of their tone! For every sound that floats From the rust within their throats Is a groan. And the people—ah, the people— They that dwell up in the steeple. All alone, And who toiling, toiling, toiling, In that muffled monotone, Feel a glory in so rolling On the human heart a stone— They are neither man nor woman— They are neither brute nor human— They are Ghouls: And their king it is who tolls; And he rolls, rolls, rolls, Rolls A paean from the bells! And his merry ***** swells With the paean of the bells! And he dances, and he yells; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the paean of the bells— Of the bells: Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the throbbing of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells— To the sobbing of the bells; Keeping time, time, time, As he knells, knells, knells, In a happy Runic rhyme, To the rolling of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells— To the tolling of the bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

Let me be your Isis I'll scavenge the land for the pieces of you they've stolen and fit each and every piece back together with delicate fingers Your kintsugi astounds me, each and every break so beautiful It is not my reflection I admire as my eyes dwell along and ride the golden rivers you try and keep from me Let me be your Isis let me see the melancholy spill from your eyes the snap of your spirit when my words are like sin I am not perfect, and I will drown in my folly like gin down my father's throat my father does not know how to swim. But your pain is like a gasp of breath sometimes when it reminds me that you are of the firmest birch tree your bark does not bend to just any wind and the symphony of susurrus that accompanies the midnight breeze, escaping the ivory lamina of your leaves, each note leaping off of every blade like a dancer, are NOT composed by just any sultry sylph Let me be your Isis Be my Osiris, a masterpiece

The first thinkers were poets Naming Mother Earth Beginning symbolic thinking Of nature, death and birth Though themes are often repeated Love, Beauty and God Poetry in the guise of Religion A prophet or a fraud The poet resurrects the Primitive Through allegory and similes Disarming the unknown like explorers Sublime Prophets and Visionaries They must lay bare those treasured images That must be expressed Unraveling and revealing the sounds At each soul’s behest Encompassing the entire Cosmos So lyrical the beat The poet’s excitement flows outward Laid at the Reader’s feet So original, individual She won’t examine or explain Letting go the festering feelings Disturbances in her brain He exposes his dark, wounded psyche Just to release and express Such capacity to see and compare Hyperbole at its best I love, I hate, I suffer A special dance in rhythm and rhyme The poet as a buffer Lessening the pain and sting of time Laden with symbol and feelings She gives you sweet relief From something urgent, revealing Confusion to belief Through a cinematic kind of seeing The poet purges to transform By leaping through Alice’s looking glass She never was one to conform Quite intolerant of convention Just like The Mad Hatter His passions immune to all logic In syncopated patter Jamming up the poet’s mind Struggling for expression Seeking order out of chaos An infantile regression Cleaving to his imaginary world The poet breaks out into words Creating sound paintings to be unfurled So his own agony is blurred She succumbs to storms of passion With instinctive techniques Rhymes and rhythm still in fashion Out of hand flows mystique The poet mines from his unconscious The Reader is not blind For every single line and symbol Means something to the mind Causing an inner liberation Enlightenment or flight It is a matter of life and death When darkness turns to light.

High Anxiety takes another look at the sprawling quilt of life weighed down by pounds of gear and wonders if leaping from the plane is worth the ride

High Anxiety (not based off the Mel Gibson film)
O Thou to whom the musical white spring offers her lily inextinguishable, taught by thy tremulous grace bravely to fling Implacable death’s mysteriously sable rob from her redolent shoulders, Thou from whose feet reincarnate song suddenly leaping flameflung,mounts,inimitably to lose herself where the wet stars softly are keeping their exquisite dreams—O Love! upon thy dim shrine of intangible commemoration, (from whose faint close as some grave languorous hymn pledge to illimitable dissipation unhurried clouds of incense fleetly roll) i spill my bright incalculable soul.

O Thou To Whom The Musical White Spring
This poem casts a line from insomnia to morning On the wind of a prayer that whatever bites, holds on. See I have counted eleven score and ten, with rainbow like curves of my neck - contemptuous beasts leaping in formation each bleating out a preach of vague platitudes; A narrative for the night sky. My hands clamour at keys for escape until I tumble headfirst into a web so vast it has ensnared the whole world wide - millennials are living in-ter-net over in-the-world; a new ultraviolence against humanity. I beat my words into the screen until it breaks; shattering scarlet emoticons like confetti pouring over language as if it were a compliment. My mind massages shapeless polypous thoughts like tight constricted muscles aching for release. 3am casts these philosophies into horses, whipping them into shape and speed before the eyes of this statuesque ****** This anxious wakefulness begs my manic self to dance; suggestively ********* tickets to ride like cleavage. Sleep is fast becoming a neglected former engagement; as my mind trips over fallen heroes wades through my favourite mistakes in a wonderland unfolding faster than I can fall while the world beyond my window remains dark.

Insomnia
Staring at the sea, saw you riding with the waves Washed away my tears Walking near the cliff, saw you leaping with the bouys Dived away my fears Sitting on the street, saw you tricking with the flips Kicked away my pains Waiting for the day, thaw adventure thoughts of you I tried to move away Wishing that some day, flaws of ours will be clear So we can start wandering

The Supposed Adventure
Sunday night and the park policemen tell each other it is dark as a stack of black cats on Lake Michigan. A big picnic boat comes home to Chicago from the peach farms of Saugatuck. Hundreds of electric bulbs break the night's darkness, a flock of red and yellow birds with wings at a standstill. Running along the deck railings are festoons and leaping in curves are loops of light from prow and stern to the tall smokestacks. Over the hoarse crunch of waves at my pier comes a hoarse answer in the rhythmic oompa of the brasses playing a Polish folk-song for the home-comers.

Picnic Boat
I was told my wings would sprout at the right time, when I needed them the most. I keep leaping off balconies and rooftops, hoping that they will spring out of my spine. I have broken bones hoping, but once fractures heal I jump again. Disappointment never felt this good.

Endless wings
somebody knew Lincoln somebody Xerxes this man:a narrow thudding timeshaped face plus innocuous winking hands, carefully inhabits number 1 on something street Spring comes the lean and definite houses are troubled. A sharp blue day fills with peacefully leaping air the minute mind of the world. The lean and definite houses are troubled.in the sunset their chimneys converse angrily,their roofs are nervous with the soft furious light,and while fire-escapes and roofs and chimneys and while roofs and fire-escapes and chimeys and while chimneys and fire-escapes and roofs are talking rapidly all together there happens Something,and They cease(and one by one are turned suddenly and softly into irresponsible toys.) when this man with the brittle legs winces swiftly out of number 1 someThing street and trickles carefully into the park sits Down. pigeons circle around and around and around the irresponsible toys circle wildly in the slow-ly-in creasing fragility —. Dogs bark children play -ing Are in the beautiful nonsense of twilight and somebody Napoleon

Somebody Knew Lincoln Somebody Xerxes
You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay I should speak what’s on my mind And yet you censor what I say Conformists following their set way Unabashedly blind You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay Thoughts leaping through my head like a ballet In an elaborate design And yet you censor what I say Follow the script “Hello” “Good day” Nothing new and all will be fine You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay My words are clay Moldable, unconfined And yet you censor what I say This world goes by in shades of gray My rainbow is maligned You tell me nothing should ever keep me at bay A̶n̶d̶ ̶y̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶

Censorship
Delicate nets collect on sailing clouds of violet mist While red leaves twist and spin in turn Gleaming sparks of dawn cannot be dismissed As the scattered night sky Is adjourned Sweet water gathers in a dream’s own reflection On a whirling spider’s silvery thread Morning has broken needing no authentication See her truth glowing there In an intricate web Tiny stones are surrounding sharp blades of grass Worshiping the presence, they behold Looking up from the shadows of a looking glass With their own stories Still untold A leaping bass, splashes proudly in a silent pond Each drop of water expressing its distress Thinking that the sun was waiting to respond To his shimmering silence Used to impress A single drop of water, a red leaf twisting in the wind A spider weaving her web to be blessed Even the tiny stones worshiping their friends Leap with the bass, distressing the pond To impress
