"ritualistically" poems
Tingly under the daisies; Glassy-eyed, glazed, greasy; Shaking, shivering, shuddering, Wishing, wandering, whimpering, Westernizing— Romanizing— Constitutionalizing— Institutionalizing— Perpetually searching And dying And living, Watching Death survive And scythe the frolickers, The prancers, The rompers, The merrymakers. A rose clamped between his Grinning teeth glistens brightly, And he dances so joyously. “Yes!” say the naysayers, Confused are the soothsayers, Lost are the cartographers. Oh, Utopia! The monks are extravagant; The meditations are a farce! The preachers are beggars And swindlers and chargers, And Machiavelli fulfills his wishes! Babies are stillborn, stabbed, and Ritualistically sacrificed, And their blood is spilled, drunk, Slathered over the ***** man. The evangelists scream and lie: “You are all predestined to die!” Oh, hail Utopia! Wedded are the girls to the girls; Wedded are the boys to the boys; Wedded is Death to Death, Life to Life, And Life to Death. Wedded are the living to the existent. And the milking babes are slaughtered Ceremoniously, Surreptitiously, Ostentatiously. Oh, hail great Utopia! We are all dead and unintelligent: Laugh, laugh, Einstein, at your Stupidity. Laugh, laugh, Temple Grandin at Your retardation. Laugh, laugh, laugh! Look at the sluggard, thou ant; Look at the boy, sobbing wolf; Aesop was drunk, Aristotle was delusional, Michelangelo was blind, Beethoven could hear, Poe was sane. And I can't read. They ramble, I watch. They sleep, I watch. They dream, I watch. They sleep-talk, I watch. They scream, I watch. They choke, I watch. They suffocate, I watch. Stone-faced, I stare; Raspingly, I breathe; Uncontrollably, I twitch; Inwardly, I rage. I hope you die, I hope you die. I hope you bleed, I hope you die. I want you begging and crying, I want you blubbering at my feet, I want you gnashing at my ankles, I want you writhing in pain, I want your arm twisted off, Cracking with the snapping sinews, I want your beating heart in my hands, I want your genitals uprooted and stuffed in your throat, I want your stomach so I can eat the still-digesting food, I want your shrunken head and I want to force my thumbs into your unblinking eyes and I want to tear your face in two and I want you to die, I want you to die, I want you to die, I want you to die, I want you to die, I want you to die, I want you to die, I want you to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die and die.

Friendship requested and accepted Avoidance seems more accurate Constantly, I see her green dot Excitedly, I begin to type Benevolently, she sends a message Openness has given way to casualness Obsessively, I cling to words Knowing the outcome, I profess my feelings Nervously, I await the check mark Ever so eager for a response Ritualistically, I keep reading my message Voyeuristically, I scroll through her page Obsession has me trembling Uncertainty controls my mind Stop is the one word response Namesakes who cannot talk Excessively, I look at old pictures Silent cries are what remain Seeing her online breaks my heart © Christopher Chronister.

"Facebook Nervousness" an acrostic poem
From within the depths of me I fight so hard, my intention never giving up, but in exhausted and my hope... Well... simply has run dry. Familiar faces are constantly surrounding me but thru the haze, ruling the majority of my mind,they are nothing more than strangers walking by. This overbearing feeling if lonesomeness is a wretched sickness spreading thru what once was me, the harder I try to suppress it the worse it makes me feel. My perpetual sadness is an unfortunate symptom that plagues me and no matter how I tend to these lacerations on my soul they never seem to heal. Bitterly I must swallow down the wickedly perfect blend of endless anguish and just a little more provocation then one should take in. Almost ritualistically I choke back the desire to purge myself of this insignificant existence, as I long for a new one to begin. This affliction has left behind an emptiness which reeks such havoc inside me and it is perfected by my alienation. Struggling in my seclusion I search frantically for the part of me that somehow had gotten somewhere in translation.

Spiritual affliction.
The motions-- We're going through emotions (right?) 'Cuz there's not a better thing to do on Sunday night. This place has lost religion ritualistically And I think, realistically, it's time to do the same Overbooked, yet, overlooked And on the hook for debts outstanding But you commanded my attention So stay unstained I've been attaining second chances for unforeseen circumstances So I'll drum if you keep dancing Just stay unstained Intentions-- Can undergo declension Yours and Mine are genitive on dative Friday nights. Some folks can lose their vision visionarily So I'd say, cautionarily, "forget to do the same." Aptitude for rectitude: That may be shrewd, and yet-- while prudent Rings no bells 'til midnight chimes out one more mortal year Afeared, I fear, ad mortum. But we just keep pounding on pulsing heads So let's drum on; keep on dancing-- Remain unstained.

We Grammarians
His courtiers all, were blind, though their eyes seemed quiet normal, full of glint ay, there is the rub, On his proud countenance, the king plastered for ever an expression of thoughtfulness a make believe, a clever construct, Wasn't it the curse of the lineage? "May the powerful suffer the constant fear of fall, unless courageous to fulfill the karma truly assigned without fear or favor" Every successive king would ritualistically burn, his copy of leather bound parchment written this in lilting Latin verse. "Bullshit,what would the evil genius of the universe would think of me, am I just a pusillanimous ***** the thirst for war runs in my veins!" Sneering he lets out a war cry perfectly pitched and phrased in the tradition of heroes of yore! It sounds odd even to himself "No escape from the rut" he murmurs Everybody pretend not to see the big ***** in his armor. who would take arms against the kingdom's sea of troubles? The king was in fact a lonely being fear alone kept him company, in person of the lord, his man Friday in an armor that made him seem fearless! Dame fear was his true consort the queen only a substitute, wearing crown, she was truly appreciated only when she acted as his tranquilizer, helping his worries galore go to sleep, employing complex strategies. Her favorite one for the final lap was a lullaby that goes thus, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a  crown" in his nightmares regular, mighty empires crumbled. So he did the best he can not anything for love to spread but to consolidate destructive instinct; he invented weapons, went on upgrading it day in and day out to freeze fear blacksmiths, knights, horsemen, cannons, guns his fear took many forms and he used them to feel powerful while trembling with fear.

sticky fingers
come now i welcome you and as the sign of my invitation i’ll smear some of my blood over my thoughts before i write them down come burning like the ember at the end of my cigarette which i burn ritualistically like a sacrifice for sin come, i’ll slay swine and serpents to lay out for you forgive me, it is all i have to give but i understand that it is the sincerity of the giving and not the gift which you desire and for your thirst i’ll give a bitter gall that is all i have, for your thirst or for mine but come come in time i pine away like every day you ever made i ask for no angels to herald your arrival lest wiser men arrive and present you with better gifts than i can afford come Lord

That lunar sphere hangs like a sliver of silver. It boils my thin blood & nullifies my exotic fear until We can dance ritualistically through cobweb covered streets towards those Blissfully Rejuvenating steps backwards. This nocturnal plague intoxicates us into a fugue state of ruthless fever dreams that visualize memories of our young past. Grip me close for this ferocious leap into the Night's chill. Breath me like you never have. I try to scream. I only howl.

Pearl Fever
I'm hidden in the lies Cascading the mountains of truth You so blindly try to climb You can't seem to comprehend I'm the master of death The father of the gods You ritualistically worship I'm the truth in the lies I'm the lies in the truth I'm everything but what are you A flea biting a dog A dog in the sewers A rotting corpse sailing on the sands of time Lies hold my truth my existence My way to say I'm just a nothing

Lies Hold My Truth
My grandmother taught me how to rinse period blood out of my ******* taught me how to sweep the veranda with my clothes sticking to my skin My grandmother taught me how to hang up soap-water-soaked house dresses, frocks, slips, and bras on a clothes line and take them all down before the sky turns too gray with almost-rain My grandfather taught me how to recite the times table as I read from a small school book my writing is small and quiet and does not yet demand to be read or known My grandfather taught me that disobedience means a stern brown eye, a grim mouth, a sharp snapping crack of leather belt My father taught me that not all men are men, that some men are boys and they will leave their daughters waiting, legs folded underneath them, toes curled as they watch for their father's car that never drives down the quiet road My father taught me that some men, some boys will leave and they will close your front door, leave your third text unanswered on your phone, and you will taste their lies on your tongue My mother taught me to be loud assertive, that every word holds heavy resonant power and can be a piercing bullet My mother taught me how to bathe in water, burn papers scrawled with ex lovers' names rinse my mouth with salt and water flick my clean tongue over white teeth how to write love into my palms ritualistically pass it over my body

familial lessons
I walk around with my heart suspended outside of my body like the deep sea anglerfish and its light. It hovers in front of my chest waiting to be noticed by another, expecting to go unseen by all. I stare at the 7-11 clerk under the fluorescent glow, the harsh brightness exposes the ugliness around us and yet his face is beautiful. I want to ask if he can see the muscle floating mid-air in front of me, does he see how dull its beat has become, and Has his heart ever left his body? If so, how did he put it back into place? He does not look at me. I leave with my heart trailing behind reluctantly, a stray wanting to be fed and then left alone. Later that night I lie in bed and sob ritualistically until my eyes are swollen orbs, until I breathe in shallow gasping crying breaths. I lift my arms and grasp at the darkness of the room, as though I am reaching to retrieve my runaway heart, But of what use could it be, once it's back in my chest? I've a mind full of anger and God abandoned my heart long before it abandoned my body.

The Angler
Swami Krishna's eyes flashed lightning bolts illumining his round, brahmin raincloud colored face. Igniting logs in the huge fire pit for our ancestral puja he chanted ancient vedic hymns, it was a beautiful offering on this venerable Sunday morning. Rites for remembering ancestors is a tradition in many cultures, not so much in the west. Swami Krishna elaborated on its importance: We thank them for the good, for laying the groundwork and support of our lineage. We remember them with love and gratitude, he stated, wrapping the yellow and red priestly shawl closer to his body. Strong, musky, acrid, odor of wood burning stung our nostrils one by one, ritualistically we added ghee, incense sticks, flowers, herbs and rice to the auspicious serpentine flames I could sense my mother near spicy whiff of curry and channel no. 5 mixing with clouds of smoke A secret door slowly opened in the heavens as a procession of ghostly relatives took their place around the blazing havan It was almost high noon and Surya, the Sun God halted His brilliant chariot driven by 7 rainbow hued horses Hovering mid-air over our holy gathering He raised His Golden Hands in Blessing
