"rebelled" poems
The mushroom The unfolding instant of creation (fertilisation) not an instant separate from breakfast It all flows down & out, flowing but that instant: not fire & fusion (fission) but a moment of jellied ice, crystal, vegetative mating merging in cool slime splendour a crushing of steel & glass & ice (instant in a bar; glasses clash, clink, collide) far-out splendour heat & fire are outwards signs of a Small dry mating ~~~ event in a room event in space a circle Magic rite To call up the godhead spirits, demons The shaman calls: “When radio dark night…” We are eating each other. ~~~ The Voice of the Serpent dry hiss of age & steam & leaves of gold old books in ruined Temples The pages break like ash I will not disturb I will not go Come, he says softly an old man appears & moves in tired dance amid the scattered dead gently they stir ~~~ I received an Aztec wall of vision & dissolved my room in sweet derision Closed my eyes, prepared to go A gentle wind inform’d me so And bathed my skin in ether glow ~~~ Drugs are a bet w/ your mind ~~~ The cigarette burn’d my fingertips & dropp’d like a log to the rug below My eyes took a trip to dig the chick Crouch’d like a cat at the next window My ears assembled music out of swarming streets but my mind rebelled at the idiot’s laughter The rising frightful idiot laughter Cheering an army of vacuum cleaners ~~~ Mouth fills w/taste of copper. Chinese paper. Foreign money. Old posters. Gyro on a string, a table. A coin spins. The faces. There is an audience to our drama. Magic shade mask. Like the hero of a dream, he works for us, in our behalf. How close is this to a final cut? I fall. Sweet blackness. Strange world that waits & watches. Ancient dread of non-existence. If it’s no problem, why mention it. Everything spoken means that, it’s opposite, & everything else. I’m alive. I’m dying. ~~~ 1st wild thrush of fear -A phone rings There is a knock on the door. It’s time to go. No.

The emus formed a football team Up Walgett way; Their dark-brown sweaters were a dream But kangaroos would sit and scream To watch them play. "Now, butterfingers," they would call, And such-like names; The emus couldn't hold the ball - They had no hands - but hands aren't all In football games. A match against the kangaroos They played one day. The kangaroos were forced to choose Some wallabies and wallaroos That played in grey. The rules that in the West prevail Would shock the town; For when a kangaroo set sail An emu jumped upon his tail And fetched him down. A whistler duck as referee Was not admired. He whistled so incessantly The teams rebelled, and up a tree He soon retired. The old marsupial captain said, "It's do or die!" So down the ground like fire he fled And leaped above an emu's head And scored a try. Then shouting, "Keep it on the toes!" The emus came. Fierce as the flooded Bogan flows They laid their foemen out in rows And saved the game. On native pear and Darling pea They dined that night: But one man was an absentee: The whistler duck - their referee - Had taken flight.

Fur And Feathers
When he left my mother told me something. She said it's okay and this will pass He's nothing compared to you But as I laid there On my bedroom floor In the room where he claimed me Where little girl dreams were shattered I didn't believe her Instead I screamed about how I hated life How he left me like dust on my fingertips Like the ash of my burned down home Two weeks later and I'm a shell Of who I was Of who I am Of who I'll ever be My ribs poked out like piano keys Just waiting to be played And my collar bones Oh they were waiting like glasses Glasses expecting hard liquor That I of course drowned myself in The day her name left his lips I was done for I wanted to become nothing but earth and essence. But my best friend cradled me She promised I would find love again That this hurt, no matter how bad it is, Will only be temporary I didn't believe her So I rebelled against them all It was only me 4 months later and I'm sitting in the car My best friend sits beside me I'm genuinely laughing And she looks proud Then she tells me how he's talking about me. From my big black boots My infatuation with peaches To how I harbor guitar pics on every inch of my body. I relapse into him immediately I wanted him so bad 6 and a half months later and he tells my best friend That he hates me My name swims out of his mouth on a raft of profanities. But it didn't hurt as much as I thought I think I grew Little by little I became the new girl The one that writes again and breathes the air a little deeper than the others. 6 and half months plus 3 days I caress my fingers over my body The shower beats down on me "I want to be your friend" I whisper to myself. He was nothing but a thunderstorm But I am more than he I am the sun The moon The stars I am the heavens I am the thing everyone revels in And I made it through hell and back And now I can finally say goodbye

Tales of a Universal Girl and a Thunderstorm Boy

I never could quite imagine the day When a creature quite as wry and presumptuous Would break so serendipitously. She lay ruptured in the desultory plantation The Stygian colour of her fur rebelled against the sage of the contiguous earth And her eyes mimicked nothing but the pain that consumed her current thoughts. Her body was transfixed in an inert trance The fur on her hunched spine quavered in a subdued zephyr Quiet insecurities were hid well in her tranquil pained state. The moon intently watched me Waiting for me to alleviate the agonized entity But solicitousness was blank in my frozen psyche. The moonlight pierced the fox with intimacy I grimaced in the realization I had failed the universe With my perennial void mind broken in vain. The fox gathered some stoicism The blessing of the moon granted requital As the fox proceeded to maul my perception. I accepted my retribution with ratification As I was the soul who violated the creature A skirmish that clung to grandeur.

Wounded Black Fox
He had a habit of forgetting That the knife should be At his left, Unlike others. Every morning, she would mechanically switch the fork with the knife. When they finished lunch she started clearing up and noticed the knife to his right again. That night, after their routine drew to a close, They talked. Slowly, at first. A touchy subject walks in. It's time. Even as the air is knocked from her lungs, She gets up and scrabbles on the floor. Nails scratching the carpet. Eyes scanning the horizon, now black. Her brain decides to get up, Her body disobeys. Her body disobeys. Isn't that what put her here in the first place? So what if she is pretty? So what if her eyes are sparkling emeralds? Her belly renders her defenceless from his onslaught. Isn't it her fault that it is empty? Isn't she wrong to want independence from him? Mentally, physically, emotionally? He owned her, didn't he? He owned her, didn't he. He explained to her the benefits of obeying. Her pretty face wouldn't have been all those ungainly shades of black. Her eyes wouldn't have been encircled by blue. All she had to do was obey and not tell anyone but obey. Her brain rebelled. Her brain rebelled. Her body, for once, obeyed. She stumbled through the hallway She knocked down her favourite frame- Their daughter on a pony. Kitchen, her sanctuary. She broke her favourite China. Hurled her utensils. "I arranged them last week, you ***** And then she saw them. The knives. The knives. They were inviting   Her hands were pale, waiting. His heart corrupt, hating. "Knives to your left, darling."

I don’t remember exactly when Budberg died, it was either two years ago or three. The same with Chen. Whether last year or the one before. Soon after our arrival, Budberg, gently pensive, Said that in the beginning it is hard to get accustomed, For here there is no spring or summer, no winter or fall. “I kept dreaming of snow and birch forests. Where so little changes you hardly notice how time goes by. This is, you will see, a magic mountain.” Budberg: a familiar name in my childhood. They were prominent in our region, This Russian family, descendants of German Balts. I read none of his works, too specialized. And Chen, I have heard, was an exquisite poet, Which I must take on faith, for he wrote in Chinese. Sultry Octobers, cool Julys, trees blossom in February. Here the nuptial flight of hummingbirds does not forecast spring. Only the faithful maple sheds its leaves every year. For no reason, its ancestors simply learned it that way. I sensed Budberg was right and I rebelled. So I won’t have power, won’t save the world? Fame will pass me by, no tiara, no crown? Did I then train myself, myself the Unique, To compose stanzas for gulls and sea haze, To listen to the foghorns blaring down below? Until it passed. What passed? Life. Now I am not ashamed of my defeat. One murky island with its barking seals Or a parched desert is enough To make us say: yes, oui, si. 'Even asleep we partake in the becoming of the world.” Endurance comes only from enduring. With a flick of the wrist I fashioned an invisible rope, And climbed it and it held me. What a procession! Quelles délices! What caps and hooded gowns! Most respected Professor Budberg, Most distinguished Professor Chen, Wrong Honorable Professor Milosz Who wrote poems in some unheard-of tongue. Who will count them anyway. And here sunlight. So that the flames of their tall candles fade. And how many generations of hummingbirds keep them company As they walk on. Across the magic mountain. And the fog from the ocean is cool, for once again it is July.

You always rebelled at the thought of obligation Obliviously you would rather opt out than be displayed as a duty done in insignificance A sailboat may be insignificant . . . a tiny speck upon the ocean But it sits high above the crests

The Sailboat
I can't believe how idiotic I was. Loving you was harder than David's stone, knocking me dead mentally, and I didn't realize it until blood dripped along my temple. Two opposites I thought would go great together only rebelled  when close. Let both stay far apart, for neither were meant to be close, rather "symbolically paired". (j.a.r.)

Opposite Poles
I admit, I’ve never chosen you. Falling in love is temporary, love is a choice. And I surrender to you. You’re heart is grandiose. In search of an asylum, the delicacy of your love, softens my core. Peering into your soul, through the earthy green in your eyes, that spec of blood orange a fire lights inside of you, hungry to achieve a purpose. I want to be your motivation, be your motivator. We could lose time but we’d meet back at the equator, once again, feeding the fire that lights for you and I. We’ve survived darkness time & time again, lost. In search of that dwindling fire we find each other, nose to nose. We are special, We are young, We are beautiful, We are complex, We are strong. We are real. Years spent, trying to navigate the passion of our love. We’ve rebelled against time, against distance... We are flawed, we are damaged. But we are stubborn in love. I hope I’m not too late, I want a clean slate I’m not holding back anymore. For the first time, boo I choose you.

The rain, it pours a sorrow tune, The clouds hold shelter to the moon To where am I supposed to look? My star, the sky has solemnly took Lit no more, is the flame we held His sight remained, yet mine rebelled Drifting by was a familiar wind, Without a choice, the breeze flew in Eyes set focus upon a glare, Ignoring tremors, I allowed the stare A whisper begged, who could this be? Deceiving voices cried, could this be me? An empty life turned painfully numb, In my own world, I lived, it turned me dumb Entranced by my star, a love was sprung Blissfully so, such a love came undone By two distant souls, that love could be no more Louder now, the sorrow tune shall pour

I waited on the front porch, My knuckles demanded entry, The door swung open a Little too fast, or Not fast enough His eyes carried a Salacious appetite, His lips moist from the Slow curling of that Relentless tongue Before words could escape, His arms, those steel arms, With dancing tribals Caressing his biceps, They abducted my body As he stampeded through the house, Carried me to his satin sanctuary He threw me down into A pile of black and white clouds Who eagerly invited me, All in the next breath, He turned me around, pushed My face into silken sheets, He had his way, a pirate With newfound treasure He yanked my ear With Rigid teeth, My neck, his personal towel For the wicked words that bled Out the gate of his mouth, My scalp throbbed from Malicious fingers glued To my fragile, mahogany locks My hands bound in An unbreakable grip, So much that I couldn’t get Rid of the sweat that rained From his electrifying aura, It only brought me closer To seeing stars that I Desperately craved Moaning exhalations Seized my vocal cords, Tingling sensations Stung my raw body As chains of colors Slashed through me Sensing my release, The barbaric pattern That drove his body, Turned into a boat On a stilled lake He spun me around, Let my chin rest in his hand, Our chests rebelled for The abuse we forced Our bodies into I didn’t care, This man was a feral warrior, Who shared blends Of pain and pleasure, A brutal humanitarian, He didn’t make me see Stars, instead, I saw the whole galaxy

Come to think of it, Garrison Keillor reads poetry like he'd feign be Bukowski or something. (sonnets #MMMMMCCCXXXII and MMMMMCCCXXXIII) I Bukowski. If I'd known--and there must trail Off seeking an excuse to bother hence With aught. Nor should I have writ these his sense Of our supposed age could acknowledge bail For, since his voice kills any spirit's frail Hope of existance, while he coughs from thence To fiercely say the madness dictates whence As chopped, clipped phrases whereby he'd prevail. And Shelley, who saw further than now's poor Horizon, said art veils her glass whilst through The centries curs as ole Bukowski tour-- To vanish, sans a note. Yet here all who Aspire think vile is tops, our work as twere In vain and refuse. Cuz such never knew. II Lo, ****** Surrey, Wyatt, and aught hence Who bowed themselves to Petrarch's mincing scale, Yes, "polished our erst homely," ruder tale Of lines and poetry, whose manners thence Became refined thus as we yielded, whence Far more rebelled than dared submit, t'assail What set us 'part from beasts as if in frail Excuse to cavil suited their intents. He said the "mountaintop" was mine as twere T'enjoy, but if I wanted friends maunt do, As they all wallowed in the mud, each boor Disgusted save by filthy scents. Sans clue Of our high calling meant to raise th'obscure Light for our fellow man, ye can't, who knew. 24Dec15c,d

Rebel son Born in the shadow A fire in the hollow of night You're the reason That the angel's are singing To terrified shepherd's tonight Oh they did not know And we don't still That you came below For your will fulfilled Caused us to be saved From ourselves and the grave We will sing To our rebel king Rebel priest Baptized in the river By the one who you soon would save You loved the least Like your own sons and daughters Like your blood flowed through their veins Rebel love That raises the standard Changes our hearts from within You are above Sickness couldn't touch you You healed us out and within Oh we did not know And we don't still That you came below For your will fulfilled Caused us to be saved From ourselves and the grave We will sing To our rebel king Rebel king betrayed by a brother Led out like a lamb to be slain Torn skin Until you didn't look human You bore our shame and our pain Without sin You were tried as a rebel Innocent and you bore our shame We thought you'd win But you died like a rebel Bearing our sin and our shame Every curse and blow Every blood drop spilled Oh the thorn torn brow Oh the life I killed But then death rebelled And the grave did too As the dead broke free By your death renewed And your life cries out In our very souls Destroying our doubt Making broken whole Let my heart of hearts And my songs now sing Lifting holy hands To my rebel king I've been blessed to know And be in your will Let my life be yours For your will fulfilled To be saved and save From sin and grave Until my life sings To my rebel king

Rebellion
she sits - eyes darting side to side, eating the atmosphere, chewing carefully, rosebud mouth moist, lips open a space, hands fidgeting in her shallow concaved lap .. woman leans forward to stroke wayward tendril from wide forehead - a sign of excellence to some just that, to others smart phrenology; tendril defies maternal meaning to spring like a diver from top board thrill to fall once more upon laughing brow, how young child loves the tickling touch she never receives from mother - she who urges piano practice, eight to ten, dancing lessons, eleven to one, geography, history and Latin tutelage with woman ancient her and morbid more, afternoon alternate curriculum and oboe, catechism, times-tables, spellings parroted.. when night calls child to sleep, she curls her softness into a knot, tight and unforgiving, ******** tears from sea blue eyes so they weep 'pon Egyptian cotton sheets to dilute the ***** drips of progidy’s day by day nightmare.. child needs, child yearns for what she does not know, kettle drum heart throbbing.. longs to run in meadows mossy bright, longs to see dirt under sweetheart nails; in dreams she rides ponies ******** and soars sky, dances clouds, kisses moon.. but then, morning vivid with sane insanity she wakes in an open cage, in a different room.. rebelled, she did, small fragile six year old; today, today, today her mind is empty, hands fluttering butterflies, eyes bright, innocence faded, but laughing..laughing..laughing, free.

Sane insanity
she sits - eyes darting side to side, eating the atmosphere, chewing carefully, rosebud mouth moist, lips open a space, hands fidgeting in her shallow concaved lap .. woman leans forward to stroke wayward tendril from wide forehead - a sign of excellence to some just that, to others smart phrenology; tendril defies maternal meaning to spring like a diver from top board thrill to fall once more upon laughing brow, how young child loves the tickling touch she never receives from mother - she who urges piano practice, eight to ten, dancing lessons, eleven to one, geography, history and Latin tutelage with woman ancient her and morbid more, afternoon alternate curriculum and oboe, catechism, times-tables, spellings parroted.. when night calls child to sleep, she curls her softness into a knot, tight and unforgiving, ******** tears from sea blue eyes so they weep 'pon Egyptian cotton sheets to dilute the ***** drips of progidy’s day by day nightmare.. child needs, child yearns for what she does not know, kettle drum heart throbbing.. longs to run in meadows mossy bright, longs to see dirt under sweetheart nails; in dreams she rides ponies ******** and soars sky, dances clouds, kisses moon.. but then, morning vivid with sane insanity she wakes in an open cage, in a different room.. rebelled, she did, small fragile six year old; today, today, today her mind is empty, hands fluttering butterflies, eyes bright, innocence faded, but laughing..laughing..laughing, free.

Rebellion smells like apples, cinnamon and ***** On a gravel road swallowed whole by a surrounding forest of lush greens we stood in opposition, revolution firearms nestled in our hands. We rebelled against alcoholism. Drunk, amber soldiers stumbled across the uneven surface of the log they vacated. Our bullets shattered them one by one. The rifle’s kick back slammed against me. The cracking echo of each gunshot filled the hollow chiseled in my chest and tenderized my brain.     Shards of hard cider and hard liquor spattered the dirt; the bright red of the Angry Orchards’ labeling bleeding war into the earth and grit. We searched for survivors.   The air was perfumed with Cinnamon Apple and ***** The soft spice of autumn and harvest wafted gently up my nose followed by the sharp scent of disinfectant, hospitals, stainless steel. It was the smell of ***** my default. Nudging a dusty bottle neck with my toe I couldn’t help but think back to   the angry, open-mouthed kisses I once shared with my bottles early in the morning until late at night. A furious thirst surged through me. I still wanted a drink.

Rebellion Smells like Apples, Cinnamon, and *****
What does a condemned man do? What does a man with no hope look forward to? One might say, “Today is terrible, but I will look forward to tomorrow.” But what use it tomorrow for the condemned? Doesn’t tomorrow bring quickly his dreadful fate? What use is the beauty of the sun or the calm of the breeze upon his face and skin? Are these not splendor’s that will add to his misery; memories that will torment his eternal soul. He does not ask to hear the sounds of joy and gladness, for where he is headed never have these been present. He is headed to the deep below, where the wails overwhelm the senses and hope is a soon forgotten fable strictly uttered by those above. The memory of the sunshine upon his face amplifies his unending anguish; the smell of the common morning air will plague his mind. “What caused such a fate for this man”, asks the world? He did not take heed to that which is written, that if you hear the voice of God today, do not be stubborn as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God. He chose separation from God - - the path that leads to no sunshine.

Of Cause and Effect; Of Misery
I do not worship your human gods. Do not presume to know me. My gods are my own. I do not care for your burning woman. ‘Great Prophet’ ‘Lady Redeemer’ ‘Bride of the Maker’ She is nothing to me. The Circles stripped us of our beliefs. Unfamiliar names on our tongues, Like poison forced down our throat. You expect us to bow so easily? You are arrogant in thinking you were the first. We have bled for our land for centuries. Our cities were burnt to the ground. And you built upon the ash, Without a second thought. And you wonder why we rebelled? Do not make the same mistake again. We are not forgiving.

we will rise again
643 I could suffice for Him, I knew— He—could suffice for Me— Yet Hesitating Fractions—Both Surveyed Infinity— “Would I be Whole” He sudden broached— My syllable rebelled— ’Twas face to face with Nature—forced— ’Twas face to face with God— Withdrew the Sun—to Other Wests— Withdrew the furthest Star Before Decision—stooped to speech— And then—be audibler The Answer of the Sea unto The Motion of the Moon— Herself adjust Her Tides—unto— Could I—do else—with Mine?

I could suffice for Him, I knew
Oh, How exquisite it was. The scent and sight of freshly spilled blood. The intricate texture of the ruby rain, Spilling a and snaking down my skin. Like precious liquid gems. Oh, how glorious slaughter is. How full of life it left me. Cloaked in Death, With the throbs of my heart, Far lively compared to that of the corpse. Oh how my laughs punctuated the air. How I rebelled in the glory of my deed. I was made in the image of god, And now I understood the power of death. This is not insanity, it is purer than that. It is not rage, it is wilder than that. It was never about avarice or fear as well. It was feral blood lust, the legacy of my ancestors. As I prey on my second victim, she raises the cross. Sigh, I wonder, as I watch her wilt away. Why does man consider all that is above it out of God's grace? In the field of life, one's angel is the other's devil. And so it has been unleashed. Upon the earth, the scrounge of heaven and hell. Man unrestrained and warped into its vile self.

A killer
As the singer sings his last tune And the last dancer vacates the ballroom The forest's divine string their bow Preparing the hunt of evil, hate, and woe In the air are sounds of grinding teeth And swords are drawn slowly from sheath Out of the trees extends a shadowed glow While in their guts, the uneasiness does grow The parliament speaks with the gnashing of jaws While the public stands impatient with sharpened claws For the prophets to sing them another lie And the puppets to dance it's truth to their eye While they stand idle for their ears to be fed The rebelled divine load an arrow of blackmail and lead With sights set upon the political beasts of Nations Tonight, the hunters will over-step their station

Rebel Divine
Right and Wrong : born by Deeds As Adam sons : Abel and Cain. The Bible and the Qur’an ,still, Are Vedas of the Semitic people. Eve-wife of Adam rebelled once And opened the Gate of Hell. Down they fell leaving Paradise To toil on Earth - their DNA hold The right and wrong: we too hold. Follow Christ to absolve from Sin Follow Al Ameen (pbuh) for Heaven: Pray for Peace(Islam) of Heaven And be righteous to save from Hell. Both pray and prey each other, Alas! Even during” holy Ramadan” days. Unity and Grace both teach us, but. Their Institutions cheat us bright. Hindu Vedas too teach us well On the Unity of souls in a Soul Also with a path of Its Dualism. Love all ; sacrifice for others To attain our Heavenly Abode. Suras worship idols in Temples Asuras hate it in their temples. Right or Wrong :both by the Deeds They inherit the Hell or the Heaven. Shall not **** !Desire not others wealth! For all Wealth is of God, the Creator- So taught but our lust make us killers. (26/7/2014)
