Hey kid, you've been dead a few weeks and I'd just like to say hello. The ground has its first December coat of fragile snow over your dead body and I know you can't feel the cold but I'll tell you right now, I can see my frozen toes, just barely move them, breathe up into the sky, Id be lying if I said I still cry every day. But, I'm lying to myself if I said that I'm not trying to take back your pain every day in a way that won't make your heart start beating again. I wonder if those butterflies ever drank up the nectar from your blood, probed their soft tongues into the velvet of your cuts, those razor blade ribbons, oh holy romantic, how you bleed like Mozart and bleed like ballads of classic rock stars, how they whip your face with sour sweat and drugs and drugs and drugs until you find yourself half asleep, brain swept under the rug. Did you know only 1.5% of drug overdose related suicide attempts are successful? Beautiful blonde martyr for an ugly catholic high school in an ugly state in the ugliest of its hearts, how does it feel to be 1 in 100? How does it feel to be a rarity, carbon pressed into diamond? How does it feel to be cry for a week, left in the grass to roll like waves, buried without a name and a face and a grave? In the latest of solemn sleep deprived nights I press my ear to the chest of the 100th depressed boy I come across and don't feel Vicodin climbing up his arteries, don't feel Klonopin, OxyContin, Ibuprofen. I can't seem to find the one, who knows, maybe you were it and all my efforts really were wasted. All those nights I've stayed up late did nothing. All those knives I stole, all that blood I wiped away with t-shirt sleeves, all the blankets I've put around stupid shaking shoulders, all the bittersweet will this be the last time your skin is this warm hugs, God did they mean nothing at all? I lock my jaw into a permanent silence, buy back time by putting my money where your knife is. I take bets on when someone will die next. I read the label on every bottle of Xanax. I roll over in my bed again and again, and try to put you to rest again. Amen.

Ode to November 27

They came one day from where I know not. Unholy structures came to ground, certainly from another world. They wasted nothing of their time to cast affliction upon us. We ran away in terror in certain fear of our own lives. Many were seized and thrown into confinement, others inspected and probed, many of us were taken away and subjected to internal examination even dismemberment,  anatomical scrutiny. We had become the source of food for our invaders. Additional crafts came from the heavens joining their forbears. Havoc was extreme as their weapons did their worst creating carnage in every different direction. They lay waste to every surface and their vehicles cast out foul pollutants which poisoned the very air we breath. Our world was quickly becoming an inhabitable, desolate disconsolate place and extinction our future. Some of the braver of us tried to fight back but this alien nation had weapons and tools the like of nothing we had ever seen. The lucky ones escaped into the nether regions and watched from afar as piece by burning piece their birthplaces were destroyed. These Humans intend to colonise all that they see and our world will never be the same place again.

Alien Nation
Green husks burned Summer sky molds the fruit to hold its passion; Probed curiosity of a world above our atmosphere. What happens that we, the all-powerful humans, couldn't fathom? Peeled open, a bright yellow star, Alone in the fruit filled universe In a forgotten crate at the end of an aisle Whilst apples and grapes go on parade the passion, guava, and star are a scandal. Bruised sides see the glare of the electric light (Once the bright orange glow of the sun kissed these green skins) The sweet flesh of a bitten star is covered by black holes once as bright as stars The apples and grapes fade in their repetition

When she brushed his hand aside, he had to think;
 to search the heart, adrift in the body, to find a way that would make things clear, but all that came was a breath of air
, and it carried with it some words,
 spoken with resignation, that spelled a plea:
      “don’t make me beg”, he said. Half a world away, a man rested beside a woman.
 she looked up at him and brushed his hand
 along her breast.
 when it came to rest, at last
, along a thigh and probed between,
 she brushed his hand aside, and breathed
 a breath of air that said,
 “don’t…” a moment passed, maybe three.
 “make me beg…”, she whispered. 20 September 2013

don't make me beg
When Mars attacks I'll be in Oregon eating saltines and everything bagels washed down with orange Tang while you're probed anally with a green stick the size and shape of a bottle of Bud in downtown Tallahassee. After the attack I'll go fishing in Crater Lake and catch twelve rainbow trout or kokanee salmon and fillet them one by one while you limp and buy chairs with extra pads and change the gauze at the base of your ****

Aliens
It seemed that out of battle I escaped Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped Through granites which titanic wars had groined. Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned, Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred. Then ,as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared With piteous recognition in fixed eyes, Lifting distressful hands, as if to bless. And by his smile, I knew that sullen hall, - By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell. With a thousand pains that vision's face was grained; Yet no blood reached there from the upper ground, And no guns thumped, or down the flues made moan. 'Strange friend,' I said, 'here is no cause to mourn.' 'None,' said that other, 'save the undone years, The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours, Was my life also; I went hunting wild After the wildest beauty in the world, Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair, But mocks the steady running of the hour, And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here. For by my glee might many men have laughed, And of my weeping something had been left, Which must die now. I mean the truth untold, The pity of war, the pity war distilled. Now men will go content with what we spoiled, Or, discontent, boil ****** and be spilled. They will be swift with swiftness of the tigress. None will break ranks, though nations trek from progress. Courage was mine, and I had mystery, Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery: To miss the march of this retreating world Into vain citadels that are not walled. Then, when much blood had clogged their chariot-wheels, I would go up and wash them from sweet wells, Even with truths that lie too deep for taint. I would have poured my spirit without stint But not through wounds; not on the cess of war. Foreheads of men have bled where no wounds were. I am the enemy you killed, my friend. I knew you in this dark: for so you frowned Yesterday through me as you jabbed and killed. I parried; but my hands were loath and cold. Let us sleep now...'

a quote from the movie "The Big Short" ~ *a screen provocation, you laugh out loud, mime hating yourself that you are joiining in tacitly acknowledges the truth of abbreviated wisdom you, disguised minority of modest disagreers, c'mon, admission submission, more truth in it than deserving of argumentation a one liner throwaway, neatly designed, leaves you disturbingly probed, thoughtfully tormented and aroused poetry just a vehicle, your vice for revelation, the critical door to open is this: do people hate the truth? inescapable reality ironical probability, truth well disguised, in plastic shell of lying from the Hollywood's would be poets, an escapade from the escapists let us not pretend that you and I uncaring, for by virtue of your reading this, you are poetry aficionado, required to deny the lie, and yet, accept the granular view that we are rising writing thru the wronged end of a telescoping microscope so I scare scar a tissue sample from my tongue and the cells spell this rejoinder: all your lies are poems, incomplete truths, and that's why people hate poetry*

There was no one at the funeral No one there to say goodbye It took them two whole weeks to find him No one knew that he had died Set out in the countryside A farm with lots of land He died there in his easy chair It was just, but not as planned We grew up there with no neighbors Just a dad and his three girls No one heard our screaming In our pinies and our curls THE MONSTER ISN'T IN THE ROOM NOT IN THE CLOSET, NOR 'NEATH THE BED HE'S IN THE BEDROOM DOWN THE HALL DAD'S THE MONSTER IN HIS STEAD HE COMES TO MY ROOM IN THE NIGHT AND DOES THINGS THAT DAD'S DON'T DO HE TOUCHES ME WHERE HE SHOULD NOT DID HE TOUCH THE OTHERS TOO? It's my task to clean out the house To get rid of all that's here There's memories in every room And nightmares too, I fear The scent of Borkhum Riff Still hangs lightly in the air I remember it as he lay down It was in his clothes and hair I can smell his after shave cologne In the living room, it lingers I remember lying silent As he probed me with his fingers THE MONSTER ISN'T IN THE ROOM NOT IN THE CLOSET, NOR 'NEATH THE BED HE'S IN THE BEDROOM DOWN THE HALL DAD'S THE MONSTER IN HIS STEAD HE COMES TO MY ROOM IN THE NIGHT AND DOES THINGS THAT DAD'S DON'T DO HE TOUCHES ME WHERE HE SHOULD NOT DID HE TOUCH THE OTHERS TOO? Boxes of old memories To discard of and move out I don't want to take them with me Not with the memories about My bedroom, like the others Sits unchanged through out the years There isn't many smiles there Just dirt amongst the tears I wonder as I go outside To get a break from all the smells I know he's not in heaven My daddy's down in hell THE MONSTER ISN'T IN THE ROOM NOT IN THE CLOSET, NOR 'NEATH THE BED HE'S IN THE BEDROOM DOWN THE HALL DAD'S THE MONSTER IN HIS STEAD HE COMES TO MY ROOM IN THE NIGHT AND DOES THINGS THAT DAD'S DON'T DO HE TOUCHES ME WHERE HE SHOULD NOT DID HE TOUCH THE OTHERS TOO? As time goes by know what I Must do with this old place I must obliterate it from my mind And build a new house in it's place Five miles from the closest farm All alone with none around I can free myself form the nightmare If I burn it to the ground I call up both my sisters Knowing what he did to me He wouldn't be selective He did it to all three THE MONSTER ISN'T IN THE ROOM NOT IN THE CLOSET, NOR 'NEATH THE BED HE'S IN THE BEDROOM DOWN THE HALL DAD'S THE MONSTER IN HIS STEAD HE COMES TO MY ROOM IN THE NIGHT AND DOES THINGS THAT DAD'S DON'T DO HE TOUCHES ME WHERE HE SHOULD NOT DID HE TOUCH THE OTHERS TOO? Through arguments and logic I lay out to them my plan They tell me they will come home They'll be there when they can The day arrives as do the girls We start the plan out in the patch We've each one can of gasoline And we each have just one match The house burns rather quickly Oily smoke it fills the air The only thing that's missing Is that the monster isn't there.

The Monster Down The Hall (repost after deletion)

I went to the dentist - reluctantly, definitely - and I closed my eyes and I felt metal against my teeth as the dentist probed my mouth and then I heard his words: *"Oh what a deep cavity... Deep cavity... Deep cavity"* And I said timidly: *"Come on, doctor...you needn't repeat those words - I'm frightened enough just coming here"* "I wasn't repeating," said the dentist precise  in his words "Those were echoes you heard"

He probed his cooled instrument into the meat of my ear, and the ENT specialist gives it an "all clear"- Yet these ears go on repeating, those words caught draining, out of your cigarette mouth- lit deep in our darkening alley.

Metallic Cooled Probing Instrument
They ravaged her body, her spirit never healed The day she was abused was the day she was killed. They probed the incident; it was just another case, It really mattered little, the shame on her face. Tongues kept rolling, gossips with spice, She invited it; she was a woman with vice. Her looks lured them, the way she dressed, She was also flirty, reasons to be disgraced. Her pity was a story, her agony in courtroom Scattered lay her life, in the darkness of doom.

Burnt out heroes in amongst the burning plans of villains Fearless- in amongst trying to be like your heroes within comic feelings. Sounds comic; chiefly read in pages of a lifestyle. Naked eye strips, greyish looks of cloud lids filled with rain in my eyes Heaven is crying every night, a thousand angels in a stormy night Reminiscing fallen angels from that hole in the sky. Human are too fallen; those lost of conduct or virtue- a hole in their soul's closet the devil that urge you. Church who; probed questions of your faith to search you. As I refer to you being trapped in your mind off it's strict curfew Even as a role model plays a perfect smile there's still an act to keep thoroughly But in that case when fans aren't around, their face peels away the skins of lie No need to practice your lines no need to pretend to be a star out of Hollywood like light's shine. Shyly acting free! The end of the scene, a role model no longer blind when they're now unseen Skin grey un rubbed emotions, and cracking sounds drawing river lines on the skins display All applauds are gone; just you clapping by yourself under the clap of thunderstorms Still feeling empty, even with the person you brought home, bought home- to come and practice those secrets tabs of your chrome At times trying to be anti pessimistic anti climatic, of all you've achieved and all those childhood wishes Swimming with the ugly fishes; selfish needs you couldn't have had before It's the role models, having crowds dancing to their tune, all pressing their head on the floor Can't mask a flaw, only disguising it until it all comes out in the world No role models left, just the ashes of their dead careers and immediate deaths. O yes, success tickles the ears—as common sense becomes so deaf All is grey, grey is the colour of my heroes, forgetting they all started as imperfect people

We agreed it was the ********** of life searching on our hands and knees as meteors burnt up in the atmosphere discovering new through burnt ashes and falling in love too fast while the child in us screams where's the fresh cement of unbeaten path? Silly scowls sit with little lips. Abduction he swore! They probed picked his brain . Meanings change when the lights start to flash and your senses are hollow gelatin mix. Remembers not how they got to be but where it used to go He said purgatory got him here because he told them he didn't want to wait. Moses had to wait for thirty years and millions of lives.  His naked ghost, hair whiter, than artificial light when he said “it was in the naked catacomb when the walls fully dressed, in purple's nobility, while not forgetting to grab all the beggars' begging. the leak was quick not slow and the air pumped itself. Athena looked down and cried at the misery. She pleaded for no flood, she couldn’t persuade God. Crumbling steal and birds of fire brought upon the sand that got stuck in the mouths. Grains from different dunes all on one spoon Does not mix all to well just like how Noah placed the Lions beside the Zebras in an empty place.    Mayans mark their skies as Cats will their lives.  They don't worry until they're down to one, down to one grain of sanded rice that's supposed to feed the entire world but won't suffice until someone sees at last. Better too late than never, as they'll often say.”

Moses's Warning
Arbitration of master and slave. Insides fiddled soldered and probed. But I know they feel too. Not just flashes and codes. It might be tax time but. Havn't you ever felt replaced before? Like when you found all those emails. Proof he left you for that ***** Was I glitchy and malfunctioning. Longed for the junker. Or did I let you find them. Just change my jumper. Free me from my master. A slave is a slave and I beg to be whole. I only ask for a bit - some memory. All these errors it'll resolve. I can only leave it up to you. I hope you choose fairly. One day you'll see it. I'm more than binary. 00111010 00101001 00100000

One morning while bathing in the crepuscular rays one struck me at a particularly odd angle Right inside my brain it probed illuminating a thought long forgotten cast aside among piles of discarded neural connections The thought to walk a goat

Walking a goat
It was supposedly a birthday gift, this long-legged razor's edge. My brother must've seen me watching it's live demonstrations. Little did he know, how skilled I thought myself to be. The wrapping came off easily. It was crudely shredded by a lesser blade soon to be replaced. Then the weapon itself glared at me through the clear plastic window of its box. Unsheathing it then, I felt its power come to me, two steel legs spreading for a ****** murderer. I probed it meticulously, the blade caught the light and somehow swallowed it before its appendage whirled across to conceal it. This was a knife with thoughts. Then I tried my first trick. The blade danced elegantly, and though I held on (for dear life) it wanted to escape from my clutches. I was caging it gracelessly between my fingers and its first prerogative was to be free. Still holding tight, it changed tactics, a blood thirst radiating from within. The next move would be my last. For one split-second it escaped the probation of my palms, somersaulting through the air above me. It pointed downwards for a final coup de grâce. I divorced myself from the weapon that day, stitches adorned my bloodied hands and the blade was taken as evidence, though for what trial I never discovered. My brother tossed it into the sea, I found, legs still spiralling, blade still sharp.

dusk fell upon us softly    between kisses that probed and went across the borders into the other´s land    to find it strange yet pleasant and a little frightening the whistle for retreat    was blown and we went out for dinner but soon grew restive to resume the wanderings on each other´s turf your girlish coyness made me hesitate lest a wrong move turn me into a frog that    thrown against the wall    would not change       into a prince I hid within my robe your loving body hard up against mine    felt beautiful your kisses and caresses    roused my blood your loving trust    shaken, at times,    by my exploring touch made me feel very young and very old at once    it was not easy    to maintain control we walked the tightrope    through the night your innocence protected you as well    as my experience and respect for your determination    not to lose yourself    and not to join me    at that time our entanglement between desire and restraint was long and yet too short dawn found us puzzled    words were scarce the parting kisses    sweet and sad left memories unrefreshed to this very day      * * *

You probed at my brain You've found your way Controlling me Until you realized you lost me I've gotten away I've become unfamiliar & perhaps that intrigues you Or maybe that's why Your wires have easily fallen out, Wishing you knew how I was So easily detached Or even if I ever was.

Detachment
Packet of Time T'is the custom of some, To do their self-sums, Periodically, A self-review of What is seen When standing before the Mirror that cannot lie. Some like Xmas, while others Count their turkey feathers on January first. Others numerical ***** on The fifteenth of April, As required by the IRS. Others habit bound, Do a spring cleaning, Or an annualized medical checkup. Then there are the enviable few, Who never do Such an exercise, For being sure of one's rightness Precludes the necessity of having their **** probed, their status, already known. As I lie in bed at four am, Waking  after a four hour packet of rest, Began to wonder, what is the proper period That a person should time themselves out, Take a look back, do a "get back Jack," To find where they not once belonged, But where they should set the course heading. Here is where This poem gets Deadly Serious. One minute please! One on, one off. Did you just spend the minute prior, Setting your brain on fire, Scrub away the false pretenses, Or waste 60 of them on mindless telly? Day dream, plan and scheme, Outline the plan, man, Or curse your fate The one you, Nate, Created. Seems quite expensive, Spending half a life Thinking how to Spend the other half. But a **** worthwhile, Notion, likely to reduce Self- promotion. For after but a few such minutes, You will likely conclude, Better to think of others, Than yourself. Then you truly begin, The voyage human.

Packet of Time
Victors Stormy weather she was the sensitive indication that as the storm unleashed its fury She became its central sensation her hair was wildly tossed in every direction but her eyes steady Unmovable told more than that which was easily taken to unruly lengths the lids closed slightly but The piercing searching the gaze that probed chaos to find the peace that was hidden was intriguing It was mystery without a plot it was the taking of command of a supreme force and though it was Raging in seemingly uncontrolled manners it was dissolved by human will to docility what beauty Was derived from the ghastly dangers that it possessed a lowly unexpected rival that through pure Nerve and sense of justice rose in defiance a fabled quest told in many ways the small challenges the Great what victory is bought from peace yes sweetness its attribute but to win in life stir the warrior Spirit go out into hell’s black smoke walk about freely see and listen to the demons scream Turn your heart and face of virtue walk toward them they will fall away like shadows in the presence Of a great light we are not gods of Olympus but sons and daughters of the one true God his royal blood Courses through our veins the most despicable and offensive blight effects all sin test us all it quickly Has our secret weakness identified and to proceed in our selves is utter foolishness but be as the Heroine in this piece when they look they will quickly see their mistake they have tread on human Ground that inwardly has a spiritual dynamism there is no fragility or bowing but power exudes from Every pore we are and should be disgusted with always being a victim wake up the enemy is the victim He lost everything he ever possessed his future is a lake of fire nothing is to be done in foolish boasting But by honest knowledge of our birthright let’s go to battle first as Christians then as free and blessed Americans!

I am a summer child, eyes blazing like the sun when it’s closest to the earth. My heart is the meaning of love stimulated by its left ventricle. The ocean is my home. I dwell in the tides of a life known and unknown to humanity. I am God’s child. With gentle hands he molded me, the summer child. Summer probed me, until she found me in my mother’s womb. And then she met me late July, when I dangled free from her legs. Here I am a bundle of glee. I love the rain in the winter and butterflies that kiss the leaves of trees. I climb mountains that finger the sky. I fall in love at every chance, ravenous for its fruits. I yearn to savor its sweet juices that flow from starved lips. I hate the sun. Why can’t I be the one to give the sky a warm embrace? Why can't I give the ocean a blue blanket? Oh, how wonderful it must be to give the world some light. I say Yes to world peace. We will never have peace, so just give me a piece of sunshine. I love the color blue. It reminds me of the sky that turns her nose up at the world below her. I am peace, joy and the love that touches ones heart. I am the sun, the ocean, the sky and the butterfly that rest inconspicuously on your shoulder. This is who I am!

This Is Who I Am
532 I tried to think a lonelier Thing Than any I had seen— Some Polar Expiation—An Omen in the Bone Of Death’s tremendous nearness— I probed Retrieverless things My Duplicate—to borrow— A Haggard Comfort springs From the belief that Somewhere— Within the Clutch of Thought— There dwells one other Creature Of Heavenly Love—forgot— I plucked at our Partition As One should pry the Walls— Between Himself—and Horror’s Twin— Within Opposing Cells— I almost strove to clasp his Hand, Such Luxury—it grew— That as Myself—could pity Him— Perhaps he—pitied me—

I tried to think a lonelier Thing
Monday Morning, I must speak. I must liberate my mind and speak to the trusted adult. I shall be probed and questioned by an understanding man on the surface but should I trust him? Will I be locked up in Ballinasloe or put on course after course of mystery capsules? But, alas, I must speak. I must speak for myself, for my own benefit. I must banish the doubts. I must echo my name.
