"squadron" poems
Anger, is the steaming red on her face refusal creates in an instance; jealousy is foaming green profusion of colors in motion takes this dance for them to upward and downward turns, or a sudden dissolution--- an intense ****** in unison. Even in darkness he  can see the spasmodic ebbing waves sleep is the banana plantation where night wears translucent green "nobody would see us here" she whispers in his ears, as if they are thieving sex,eyeing the yellow banana she likes, to play with Purple is the psychedelic color smeared on horizon when dreams repeatedly fly down like night bats and happen the way mind designs we don't want to leave the scene of the dream even when we know well that the show for us is now over we just want to hang around like the dog,  in the place it  got a juicy bone. Yellow is the banana song that's heard as wave after wave, by the blind bat squadron that roams with raw aggression, for raids above the plantations Unripe bananas show green fingers to say "NO! we aren't ripe" like coy underage virgins. Then, they ripen, go yellow some even bright red, inviting who is blue here is the sky and those bats who got the bananas still raw green Night decents on the banana land as the white umbrella of sun is snatched by the dark maiden. Black is the bat's wing extending and folding like lust, umbrella and the like. He finds her shivering fingers like a serpent, on the banana trunk slithering down, as he dreams bats, banana, blue sky and she slithering over him.

Bats, Banana, Blue sky
Anger, is the steaming red on her face refusal creates in an instance; jealousy is foaming green profusion of colors in motion takes this dance for them to upward and downward turns, or a sudden dissolution--- an intense ****** in unison. Even in darkness he  can see the spasmodic ebbing waves sleep is the banana plantation where night wears translucent green "nobody would see us here" she whispers in his ears, as if they are thieving sex,eyeing the yellow banana she likes, to play with Purple is the psychedelic color smeared on horizon when dreams repeatedly fly down like night bats and happen the way mind designs we don't want to leave the scene of the dream even when we know well that the show for us is now over we just want to hang around like the dog,  in the place it  got a juicy bone.

I cannot recall you gentle yet through your heavy love I have become an image of your once delicate flesh split with deceitful longings. When strangers come and compliment me your aged spirit takes a bow jingling with pride but once you hid that secret in the center of furies hanging me with deep ******* and wiry hair with your own split flesh and long suffering eyes buried in myths of little worth. But I have peeled away your anger down to the core of love and look mother I Am a dark temple where your true spirit rises beautiful and tough as chestnut stanchion against your nightmare of weakness and if eyes conceal a squadron of conflicting rebellions I learned from you to define myself through your denials audre lorde

-10- Regular Albert Whisker, FE Squadron, born 1939, joined up at 18. First time away from home and loving it, sir! -9- One day, I’m just minding my own at the airbase in Stranraer when two officers appear out of nowhere and they ask they ask if I’d fancy a long weekend? Why not? I say. Why not? -8- We’re staying at the Governor Clinton Hotel, It's in New York. Everything laid on. Trip to Broadway and all. Three whole days of paradise All on the MOD. -7- Oh Gor Blimey! What a sight when we stepped off the flight onto Christmas Island for the first time. Crushed white coral dust. Like nothing I’d ever seen. -6- Our job is mainly to just do our job which is mainly just military driving. Land-rovers, lorries, tankers and that. And avoiding the island ***** - three times a day, they'd all crawl up the beach - but they didn’t pay us for that. -5- Someone showed me their diary today and it had a letter ‘H’ under today’s date. So I’m working on the beach when the tannoi sounds: “Sit down and cover your eyes. Testing will begin in five, four…” -4- And there was light. A flash right through your skin and hands. The biggest bang I’ve ever heard. A flash. Through your skin and bones and hands. The biggest bang I’ve ever heard in all my life. -3- Then it was over. Nothing much changed. -2- Except the mushroom cloud was there for quite a time. And the Canberra bombers, the white ones, they flew through the cloud like little spores. -1- Then one day they just said “You’re done” and we queued up to fly home to England. Saw the new ones, the ‘moonies’, getting off the plane. Sad to leave I was, yeah. It was a good posting. And nice weather, never rained, Not rain at any rate. Then, not long after, I was sent home for good. They said I’d caught a cancer off a someone and for me own good I had to be discharged. -0- Sad really. It was a good posting.

Lazy days and choppy waves Upon a copper sea, A breezy, warming westerly Is blowing down on me. Sunlight striking wavelets Below clouds of cotton cool And seagulls hang in squadron lines Aloft from oyster pool. Road signs judder in the breeze Ripples weave amongst long grass, Mangroves bend in unison And asphalt bakes in molten glass. A parasol of brilliant blue A picnic basket brimming high With lemonade and icy beer Whilst sausages and onions fry. Two barking dogs cavort with joy Chasing hard on sandy beach, Leaping high in summer air Running, fetching, ***** to each. The lazy summer saunters in Engulfing us with solar heat, The pretty girls wear tiny shorts Which breathless boys find such a treat. Pohutukawa’s bursting forth In waves of rich and scarlet red Which juxtapose dark olive greens Of leafage midst each flower bed. A sky of brilliant powder blue With salt spray aura in the air As swimmers splash in gales of fun Hot sunlight baubles kiss their hair.

Port Waikato Beach
Wide, grey waters rolling in Invisibly it flows Like a spreading carpet over mud Inexorably it grows. Created by a lunar force And global winds at play, Twice each day the tides do surge To crest and flow away. Twice each day the tide rolls in To cover shoals of sands And beds of oysters, muddy brown With squirting water glands. And twice each day the seabirds flock To alight on draining shores To harvest succulents and ***** And other tasty mores. Oyster pickers congregate In flocks of white and black Red beaks plunging deeply In green pastures for a snack. Amazingly, they all take flight A thousand beating wings Which heel about collectively Inking out all skyward things. A thousand, million wavelets play Across the level span Pursued by wind’s relentless glove In a patterned, surging plan. And each reflects a kiss of light, Each wavelet in the run Collectively illuminate Like diamonds in the sun. Above the waves the seagulls ply In corridors of air In squadron flights of symmetry To weave and wheel with flair, Their raucous calls at distance The poetry of sound, In tidal terms, a symphony Of seaward things profound. The haze at the horizon Of salt spray in the air, White ,crunchy shells on beaches, Pohutukawa’s everywhere. A feeling of things tidal In a lazy, salty way, And enjoying the quiet beauty Of this lovely, coastal bay. Marshalg @ the Gate Mangere Bridge 4th March 2009

Obscure is an understatement on how my nonsensical(s) joined squadron I’ve taken nightly dips into an odious filled pool Breaking the bonds and ties that outline the ripples waning opprobrious schemes These livid moments of trauma events clash into the shallow reef Orthodoxes lost abroad the endless natatorium The chlorine punctures green hints that double in risk Maligning my skin of stained memoir, tisk tisk

Pool of A Scandal Self Image
blood now is the accoutrement. night's tenure is the morning's leasing: what will continue to light like a beacon in this vicissitude is the flash of a snuff-nosed nozzle. no sound is heard. no bones were felt trembling. all the voices were muffled, thrown into a makeshift exodus. the pains will be etched away like moss unraveling the secret of wall upon wounds like old scarves. but the ground, which has girdled this resounding feat, will never forget: death's squadron enters. harbingers. what has hidden them in the lull has now sung severances: a distance closed by a fusillade of bullets.

If wars were subject to a copyright - Then candidates would have to pay a fee Each time they appeal to the glorious past When standing for the election, the proceeds To fall like ****** weregeld on the dead Who can never cash the checks anyway If wars were subject to a copyright - Then Hollywood movies should pay their dues Whenever a bold, scripted commando, Body-waxed muscles glistening with makeup, Advances up Hamburger-Helper Hill With a patriotic song on his lipstick If wars were subject to a copyright – The generals’ memoirs, the admirals’, too, Would pay to lighten the blighted young lives Of soul-fragmented lads whose pain and blood Won the air-conditioned another star And unctuous applause at the officers’ club If wars were subject to a copyright - The President would have to pay his bill Each time he bangs the lectern for a war, That glorious dux bellorum dux-ing From the rear, while a squadron of pigs fly Above, powered by pixie-dust and smoke

If Wars Were Subject to Copyright
Homeward headed, I was driving my way Down I-95 past the Old Mill Way in a yawn, Turning the radio on and looking to play Something to keep my consciousness on. Few cars out at 1:00; it had been a long day; I'd stopped off at Charlie's to sit with a friend To blow out the kinks and let myself say What a **** the company minion had been. Four hours burned off like the late morning haze; When I'd sobered back steady, was able to drive, I paid off my tab, left my friends in a daze, Headed the Jeep to the feed ramp for old 95. At one in the morning, the traffic was thin; When I heard Harleys roaring behind, I scoped the mirror for the lanes they were in, Double-blinked then to see if I was road-blind. No bikers behind, no bikers beside, but sound Like a squadron blared loud, and I felt a cold chill, Thought better of having the last couple rounds, Wished I'd stayed an hour before I'd settled my bill. I glanced to the side, though the sound was all 'round, Saw a glimmer of green glowing chrome in the dark, And fire ethereal from pipes blooming sound, From a Shovelhead, barely visible, flat black and stark. But the rider's appearance emptied my chest: Dark goggles, full beard and a gray flowing mane, Black leather with signs on his tattery vest And a number embroidered below the man's name: "Rider 88" glowed red through the gloom, A ******** burned on the withering arm: "We rise again!" I heard a voice of doom, "We're meeting at the old red barn!" He wasn't alone, though I couldn't see The posse he rode with, the pack he was in; I felt a squadron of hellions run through me, Concussive, incessant, their rattling din. And then, except pavement beneath the Jeep's tires, The howling of wind and crackling "Cotton-eyed Joe," Nothing but the road after midnight, no sirens or fires, And me, shaking hands on the wheel, alone.

"Hello baby, how have you been You know I'm coming back there soon, I'll get to tell you of things I've seen As we sit beneath the moon I miss you so with all my heart And till we meet again It's been rough to spend this time apart So, I will wait until then. To hold you once more in my arms And look upon your face You know I'll keep you safe from harm You make my heartbeat race We;ll have our wedding in the churchl that We were christened in as kids You know there church where we once sat And as children we once hid We'll soon be one when we are wed Our family has begun It;ll be like we both said We;ll be stronger now as one. You know I miss you every day But you keep me alive A safe return to you I pray It's the goal to which I strive It's been three years that I've been here In this hell hole of a war But I've been strong and shown no fear With your love at my core My time is short and I must go Our squadron has to part But in two weeks you know I;ll show The love that's in my heart" As I look out upon the  field The green grass specked with white I really think how beautiful To see this scene so bright There are those who've come beofre today and stood here just like me Of those who come for JFK Who died in sixty three You see I am in Arlington To lay my love to rest He died when he was fired on With five more of our best He wrote me that love letter Post marked two weeks ago today Our lives would be much better When he got home from the fray. His squad was taken quickly and Not one of them survived They're together now on sacred land And my letter just arrived. Hello baby, how have you been You know I'm coming back there soon, I'll get to tell you of things I've seen As we sit beneath the moon I miss you so with all my heart And till we meet again But now we're not so far apart Now he's in Arlington.

He has done it, lived life abundant Meyiwa has not fallen, such talent He has done it, remember that comment Sprung with shooting star brilliance, a comet Snatched victory from jaws of defeat Said a sports anchor but these words won't befit Meyiwa has not fallen, he rose against all odds Stood the last defense line until there was none left but the gods He has done it Lead a triumphant life out of skeletons of the dead Fired up the squadron to sail turbulent currents, a true sea conqueror's head Captain of a ship that carries hopes of sowetans and mzansi multitudes Defended nation's dignity with his spirit and a never say die attitude Senzo meyiwa, deeds never fall Soul stands tall and keep heaven's gates open So unfair yet we do not despair, we look to you to mend heart's broken Your life will not be in vain As we go through this pain you inspire a purpose to find healing again Rest in peace Senzo Meyiwa (24/09/1987 - 26/10/2014)

Oh Satan's vexing, gypsy moth. Icarus of the lamp. Torched, foul, smoldering ember. Aye, the jokes on you. Good riddance netherworld gadfly, dust covered moon splashed wings, who flitted too close the sun. I shall miss the not. What of thy onlooking brother? Is he not the bright one, bathing in incandescent blissful ignorance? Though he be but Nature's Dastard, he'll bask the morrow, whilst thy apparition flies to hell, whence ye came. *While enjoying a beautiful Summer night, I was attacked by a squadron of moths and millers.  The zealous, daring, but stupid one, flew too close to a lamp and got fried. The other, pious, yet too afraid worshiped from afar. By the way, one's just as stupid as the other one. The lamp is not the moon cretins. *

Gadflies (a Shadorama)
The Seamstresses of Baltimore had done their Country proud. Their Flag, upon a staff of wood, Defied The British rounds. Fort McHenry and her men alone stood in the way of a squadron of the British fleet in good King George's pay. All through the warm September night We saw red rockets glare. And when the morning sun arose our banner was still there. The tale might have been different One of death, despair and blood- One shell had hit the magazine but it proved to be a dud. A lawyer and a poet on a truce ship in the Bay gave voice to the emotions that filled his heart that day. So when you stand and doff your cap and sing his song I say, let history become memory in a simple, subtle way.

At Twilight's Last Gleaming
Robin's flashing safety coat's in flight, defying cats. The pigeon squadron's wheeling, awaiting a blackbird 'All Clear'. Then they all come, perfect landings, on grass and path and seed feeder, a thieving, weaving, twittering scrum, saleroom scurrying, juggling, grumbling. Starlings gardening, earthworms squirming, magpies spooking, pretence pets.

The 'All Clear'
I, the bird, to this marine world looked back up at the bastion of mine from a new perspective. The brass propellers, the ‘streamlined’ shape of the beast, seemed insignificant, to the beasts of God below. I insignificant, out of place, in a way that awed a part of me A vortex of swelling frigidity replaced the air of my world, I spit out the tube lurched back to my reality My scape. I saw the bright yellow pale blue, above, and a squadron of orange tipped tubes floating about the rippling white capped sea. The pearl again white, and pure. The Voices fluttered about, and grins were sent our way. I looked inside for my knot of fear, it dissipated, impossible to reassemble as dry sand. water drained from my tube outstanding figures below were gone. All that was left was the shadow of the boat, a couple dozen still to my rear approaching. But the serenity and rush were gone. The perception of the sea’s attitudes on my weak flesh, the fear of the unknown, vaporized like boiling ice. The whole experience lost, and replaced. Urgency lost, I floated about on the plane between two of God’s worlds. Neither of which we truly understand.

Interplanar Reverance (Adapted)
Beedazzled The hornets appeared on the horizon. Zipper was on lookout with Tryin’ Flyon. The two of them were in an argument And didn’t see the hornet’s a-flying. In fear Tryin’ stumbled back and hit a plant, And all the water came raining down with a mighty splash. Sound the alarm!  I can’t, Tryin’! My wings are soaked through, said Zipper, nearly crying. The two of them ran and watched as above a squadron of hornets, Crashed down with a thud! What have we got here lads?  A couple of wet-through bees. Please don’t hurt us, please! Oh this doesn’t look good! Shut up Tryin’, we are not scared of hornets. You should bee, we’re bigger and stronger that you lousy maggots. Zipper grabbed his stinger and said en garde! The lead hornet laughed and insofar, As to actually consider Zipper a threat, Grabbed his stinger sword and said ok Bee, let’s! The two of them fought and soon Zipper was no more. Tryin’ was desperately trying to find a door, But he was surrounded, soon to bee pounded, Like the honey in the hive, When it was deemed too rounded. But the hornets didn’t know that the two bees were a three. Scaredy Bee flew off as fast as he could, Heading back to the hive and brotherhood. He didn’t wait to see what happened to Tryin’, He was too busy screaming and rapidly flying. The guards saw him approach at an incredible speed. Who the heck is this?  The fastest bee I’ve ever seen! The guards said wait!  He said no way! And he was past them before they knew what else to say. Did he say hornets?  No way, get your ears fixed. He did, he said hor…He said there were hornets! With that the two guards turned tail and fled. The commotion caused by Scaredy Bee was up ahead… (C)2019 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.

I want a Monte Carlo with woodgrain that drips lacquer like liquid metal. How sweet is the sound of droplets of wetted desire and my chucks dotted by the bark of a melted, condensed, glossed and digital earth. My Alpine's make bus-drivers nervous, with their hallways full of a thousand faces, staring down at me as I crack holes in the concrete big enough for a squadron of buses to fall into. My Carlo should have two things in bunches, it should have the smell of a woman. The smell of her stale mouth that lets loose fumes in grated vents. The Carlo's smell should rattle me like fences that jingle when I brush against them. Secondly, my Carlo should be serious and black. All black. I want my Carlo to have opals for headlights like the smeared *** of a firefly or the eyes of a panther. My Carlo should be so beautiful that it takes me back to the forest, to the forge, to the hotel, to the hospital, to the altar, to a place of peace so loud that I could take it between my fingertips only to break it in a purr.

Natalie. Battle Maiden Flying the Skyhawk was easy. Learning tactics wasn't. Aerial refuelling was hard, as was formation flying. Natalie grew up and lost her girliness. Inside she was a woman. Her view on the government remained. Should she bomb the junta in her plane? Thoughts of that were brushed aside when she was deployed near the Chilean border when tension increased in the long running border dispute. Flying three armed patrols convinced Chile to stop sabre rattling and withdraw her soldiers. Nat was gaining experience. Public opinion was turning against the government, an ongoing crisis that needed expert handling. War was the answer. Not with Chile but in the Malvinas. An army, armed to the teeth, sailed and was flown out. British resistance was subdued and Argentina took the Malvinas. Natalie and her squadron were on standby for action. Britain retaliated and UK ships headed south. Nat trained in anti ship attack. Soon her skills would be needed. People were behind the war. Not questioning about The Disappeared or how to get rid of the evil junta. The Malvinas were finally ours and a joyous mood overtook many people. In the military, it was different. A real fight would soon erupt. The Brits were coming and Nat was scared. What had she got herself into? Training continued and there was no time for her band, seeing her friends or little else. Not even secretly discussing how to help make the government fall with her fellow activists. It was a fine line of madness. An Argentine air force jet pilot with illegal views and rebellion songs. She could change the history of her country, Argentina, forever. If she dropped a few bombs on the leaders, it was over. The new war, The Disappeared, the fear. All of it. Could she do it? Would she? Nat knew where the leaders were and would strike on her next armed training mission. Fate stopped her. Events moved quickly and the young warrior woman never had chance.

Every tear with its sting busied itself Gathering from her past They flew from fragmented piece to piece Swallowing the ruins whole Millstones weighing down tiny bellies Were no match for this resolute air squadron They were heading to the wilderness to regurgitate her past Regenerate cell by cell Rebuild the Lost City Restore the Land of Milk and Honey Reclaim the holy and the sacred Reinforce with cedar's resin
