"stasis" poems
Lovesick and you've got the cure. Got all these symptoms. You know what for. Don't be afraid of this contagious disease, Just take my requisition form. I've made room for you in my atria and ventricle. You're the capillary to my arteriole and venule. You're the amniotic fluid to the child in my heart. I find you even in the interstitial parts. Treatment like uours is like a centrifugAl force. So be the **** stasis my heart is longing for. Some homeostasis is what we need. We will make compromises to succeed. Lay me supine and you in prone. Sensory neurons fire Exocrine glands make to pressure Spark endocrine glands to hear you moan. Without your heart I'd be anemic. Withiutbyour arms I'd be half a paraplegic. Your kisses give me air, without them I'm cyatonic. You're the fibrin in my veins, to my pain an anesthetic. I'm ready for some long-term care and affection. Got a chronic condition that needs your attention. I k now I'm concluded, parts of me sclerosed. Don't wait post mortem to know that you're the most.

a medical love letter
Stasis in darkness. Then the substanceless blue Pour of tor and distances. God's lioness, How one we grow, Pivot of heels and knees! -- The furrow Splits and passes, sister to The brown arc Of the neck I cannot catch, Nigger-eye Berries cast dark Hooks ---- Black sweet blood mouthfuls, Shadows. Something else Hauls me through air ---- Thighs, hair; Flakes from my heels. White Godiva, I unpeel ---- Dead hands, dead stringencies. And now I Foam to wheat, a glitter of seas. The child's cry Melts in the wall. And I Am the arrow, The dew that flies, Suicidal, at one with the drive Into the red Eye, the cauldron of morning.

Does Whatever a Spider Can?
Driving up the highway When I saw it in the mist Like a pure and tender ****** Still waiting to be kissed A village all forgotten Somehow time had missed You could see it from the highway slightly hazy in the mist Had time forgotten this poor place Left in limbo for all days Was it just a trick of light and sun Manufactured through the haze Were the folks here ****** to stay Out of reach but in our gaze Or were they truly here by choice Living old, forgotten ways Brigadoon did spring to mind but, in truth I thought this good Be something better than that curse This village protected by the wood I pulled on to the shoulder And tried to see as best I could This simple town or vision That had not aged as it should I saw no point of entry No way to get there from my place It was perfect, untouched, special A village bathed in grace Folks kept driving past me Up the highway at such pace They would never see this village In the mist as fine as lace The village may be magic It may be something in between In truth all I can tell you What I saw, not what I mean It's a village, plain and simple in the woods, all shades of green Un-kissed, and yet so perfect stuck in stasis, in between

Village in the mist
Doubt is the lonely father of fear Not a clad caped hero Waiting to swoop in And save the day But a two faced killer clown Wearing ****** crocs With electric joy buzzer shocks Sending surges through your veins Sending urges that drive you insane It may be in reason It may be in season But the summer heat Can burn your feet Under the fire of fire Place you in stasis As you wait to find were your space is Letting others tell you were your place is While they race to chase A better life Doubt can be better than blind Adherence You just have to watch out For the dangerous side of doubt Turn detective to fix the defective And Steer clear of the fear That disparages hope and reason

The Batman Of Doubt
They enter as animals from the outer Space of holly where spikes Are not thoughts I turn on, like a Yogi, But greenness, darkness so pure They freeze and are. O God, I am not like you In your vacuous black, Stars stuck all over, bright stupid confetti. Eternity bores me, I never wanted it. What I love is The piston in motion ---- My soul dies before it. And the hooves of the horses, There merciless churn. And you, great Stasis ---- What is so great in that! Is it a tiger this year, this roar at the door? It is a Christus, The awful God-bit in him Dying to fly and be done with it? The blood berries are themselves, they are very still. The hooves will not have it, In blue distance the pistons hiss.

Years
Immigrants, especially those who don't return, create idealistic homelands. They imagine that all their Woes, hurts and indignities Would not exist in their imagined homeland. In their minds, homeland is in stasis. The life they left is lingering waiting for them to return. They cast winter upon the ponds of their homelands And live lives skating over the surface Each time coming closer to shattering the illusion and gasping in the icy waters of change.

A Homeland Removed
The perfectionist loves to hear his voice, He is the respected critic inside, He is the learned one, The educated and the educator. A beautiful constructor, The finishing touch To the artist's hand. The voice is always a partner, He will always be there to help The artist, comfort is taken in his ability. The artist needn't forget, There are many voices on the side, Awaiting for their time to speak, Each one has its time, All varying in their patience and duration. The artist sees what he hasn't before: The voice of support; the voice of love; the voice of decision; and the voice of passion. There is always time to contemplate his flaws And he wants to reassure himself: Perfection is not a demand, but a quest, One of beauty and one of joy. Perfection is the beauty in imperfection. The pursuit of achievement is one to relish, it is not to be rushed or Ceased, it is a running walk, a walking run, a sitting stand, a moving still. It is every step he has made. The artist looks behind and sees His effort, he is proud to have experienced His triumphs and his trauma The voice of comfort will be there all the way, She is a gentle quieter spirit that deserves as much an ear. When all voices have calmed and subsided, Her tenderness remains. I remind the artist of his friends, I remind him that the critical voice is the voice of nature, The physical laws unchanged. He is the driving force to stasis and movement in the age worry and indecision. "Do not be overwhelmed" I say to the artist, You are one of many. You are with friends. The voice of change encourages the artist to evolve and to smile, The voice of happiness allows peaceful living and awareness. The tiger belongs to nature, not to be feared, but to be respected and understood. Do not despair, do not relinquish hope, Hope is the shining beacon in a world of anguish. Hope is the angel shining her torch ever so bright. Hope is the window that allows pain and suffering to see the light of day , Hope allows oneness. The artist moves his brush: an effortless stroke, A flicker of joy, A tear in his eye. He once was old, Now is young. He learns to enjoy The work he has done, He can now enjoy the work he does, He is enjoying the work he is doing. He enjoys his life. The state of mind, it is a fickle hatchling. Able to be pursued and persuaded, also able to be liberated. The artist is free, His thoughts can pass, His fear will subside, His body can move, His heart will follow And the mind will allow. Spirit be set free, Bird do fly, Artist do paint, You, You are. Peace within oneself is peace with others. The artist is brave, he is a soul that stands tall in the face of adversity, He is a sleepless enigma in his room at night, He is the passionate one, The artist and his love affair with the critic outshines his charisma, The love for the sophisticated darkness, His love for the melodrama, His quest for knowledge, Perhaps the only knowledge is Ignorance. Blissful unawareness.

Can we exchange dialogue from master scripts too ten minute plays? Inhaling every exhale from your line breaks Prefixes soothing my ear drums intellect holding suffixes. Allowing your stories to take me too worlds literature can’t reach. Where archetypes are dynamic antagonists don’t exist and you’re the only character not flat. Stasis starts situations When you’re the intrusion I follow all stage directions put me inside your prepositions, cover me in your verbs let me hold your nouns lay my head on your adverbs and fall asleep to your adjectives.

An Uncommon Dialouge
My flesh crawls, and my blood flows As I attempt to turn to marble True stasis Homeostasis Oh to maintain beauty to be gawked by muses And to never have been alive, merely beings of retired faith But unsurprisingly, just as pointless I sigh… I may parish in mind and finally body But marble will diminish slowly ****** All while watched and attemptedly preserved I breathe. Homeostasis

Homeostasis
By herself in the dark with nothing at heart, being so smart only plays a small part. Take it back to start and place your mark on the people, the faces, the parties, the places. Tighten up your laces, we got a few more bases but she's stuck in that stasis. Memories fade like a fragrance so of course the pain gets too much to handle. Too much flame and not enough candle. Burn bright and burn hot for everything we've fought. All that you've sought is the only thing I've got. *Beyond an open book they're just pages on the floor, you can give 'em a look if you know what you're searching for there's a fine line between flowing and bleeding, an even thinner one between knowing and believing and **** near none at all between showing and deceiving* Every rose has its thorn but she's just a dandelion so I blew her mind to watch her thoughts start flying. It's all water under the bridge now, but I'll throw you off and burn that bridge down. I don't want you to drown... just want to see if your ability to sink or swim kicks in. I only took your breath away to watch you suffocate, but I keep hearing you wheezing like your barely even breathing. So deceiving, are you walking away? Or just leaving? Forever is the word he tagged on the walls in her mind, so she walked those halls with a bucket of paint thinner and hand full of time. Her walls are too thick too strong with all that brick maybe a lil acid will do the trick. But he only came equipped with some elbow grease and lil bit of spit... The voice in his head whispered "Now get to work kid" So he did; and never learned when to quit.

There’s just… all this noise… There’s all this noise and I feel like a tone floating around in some kinda modal stasis. And I just want to change the key but I can never seem to get the voice leading right. There’s all these other intervals in here with me and we’re all packed in too tight. I’m just a chromatic scale descending into dissonance as I push past clusters of minor seconds. I feel like I’ve gotta fight to find consonance, but I’m so **** quiet that nobody can harmonize with me. Nobody can even hear me over all this noise all this noise all this noise. This noise when so many sing without listening. This noise of a thousand unheard melodies. This noise this noise this noise This noise this noise this noise

Here's one for the gamers dungeon dwellers, competitors and casual players Whether they're at home or at a friend, footballers, car racers or dragon slayers To the world that looks down on us for those who's hobbies least appeal Just because they don't understand the reason or share the passion we feel Gamers like acheivements each to their own Whether its to vanquish the opposition build, or break their enemies throne Is that so different perhaps they spend a lot of time at home But isn't playing online with their friends a little better than just sitting alone on ones phone? The world of gaming has evolved and adapted so much It's a common to see a mother aligning fruit or a child with a flapping duck And is it such a bad thing if the players are actually having fun It may not be making them better but I can think of many worse things they could have done They say games encourage violence but these people are some of the kindest I've ever seen Theft, ****** and street racing would it not be better if these things were only done behind a computer screen? For many, its more than just a game and can lead to some desperation But people need to know the limits and play in moderation For some it's to do things they wouldn't normally do or say on a daily basis A couch potato wanting to explore the world avoid boredom, keep their mind from stasis To feel the breeze of a challenge drive a fast car or sword-fight, maybe even do some parkour Whether they want to skydive or skate over a hill To be able to do something dangerous without having to sign a medical bill We all have our reasons some play casually while others play to vent E-gaming has become so popular now hosting world tournaments and many gaming event This is how we are so please let us be Our motives are like captured birds are we are just setting them free Whether you want to be a princess or guardian of a banana tree You can do whatever you want just follow your dream People will always be different this is just another sub-culture; like fans of a band But we are the gamers and by this title proudly we stand

**** mustache
A Poem in 3 Parts by Sara L Russell, 4/6/15; 00:51am I There is a grey area between this world and the next. People can be foolish; they dabble in ouija, in dowsing, in automatic writing; and - wittingly or unwittingly, they may open a portal to the other side. That is how they enter. Beware of inviting them in. Shadow people are there where needle pierces skin; where the ****** sits, glassy-eyed, on the precipice of oblivion; they lurk in unholy places where godless politicians declare themselves to be speaking for God; they haunt the dreams of drunkards, schizophrenics, junkies and the paranoid. But they are not spun out of dreams, they are real. Shadow people were there when the ancient pharaohs of Egypt were interred, with all their gold; they took them to Hades for also burying their wives and servants, alive. They were there in **** concentration camps, sitting on the left shoulders of those who blindly carried out orders of death and torture. They subsist in underworlds of catacombs, they lurk in the spaces between our conscious and unconscious minds; In blackened mirrors they seek out a vortex, My friends, be the light that keeps out the darkness, Do not seek to question the dear and foregone, No matter how much they are missed; for there are others lurking in the shadows. Be not the portal inviting them in. II Did I see you in Bohemian Grove, smiling at the Cremation of the Care? Were you there, and did you have more than one shadow? Did I see you in that Great Hall with chequered floors, where the Eye of Horus watched over a pyramid of gold? Did you lift a cup of the good red wine, did blood brothers drink each other's health, gazing through a glass darkly? Did we toast the Cremation of the Care, and how many others were there? III Sometimes we visit Hell in our dreams, though we may fervently pray before sleep. There is no shame in sleeping with the light on. Wear a cross, if you think that it will help. Sometimes the citizens of Hell visit us, in that stasis between sleep and wakefulnes; they are only ever seen at the outer periphery of our vision. It's never a good idea to look at them directly. Sometimes they venture a little closer than the rules allow. Sometimes the line between their domain and ours is blurred. Occasionally, the breeze seems to whisper your name - only, it's not the breeze. Be vigilant. Always try to see them first.

Deep beneath the earth a companion flows as liquid into his soul, filling every curve, slip and crack. 86 fathoms below, a man is filled and unchained from his solitude creating a place for the mind to swim in one infinite breath. Swimming to the surface Thunder roars, lightning strikes: releasing him from beneath. He climbs out. There she stands in front, electrified. From head to toe, she inflames him, illuminating the night sky. The man approaches, thwarted by his ambition and left into stasis, as he watches her. Frozen, her eyes lock onto his. Enduring, he learns her true feeling.

The Feeling
So many things feel right More joy than the stars that light the night. Feel the warmth of the future You have chosen, as it washes over you in waves. Stasis will never take hold of us, Every chain they know, we have every key. Walking confidently towards the future. I murdered the inventor, and smashed his time machine. Every decision is a catalyst for progress. You are never stuck, make fruit from the dust. Clothing from the air, and a bed from the stones. The eagle circles above, Let him be your symbol, As you rise into the sky like a Zephyr.

We slump in mismatched chairs. Two hunches over shame and a 3am breakfast, I think: *There’s gotta be a reason why art rhymes with **** If you want anything to go anywhere with any respectable…affect, the force of pressure on the inside must exceed that from the outside. Interrupting this genius, He asks: How can you eat that crap? It’s so…empty. He is flipping through his coffeeblack back pocket note rag. It’s soiled, wrinkled concave with the ever-heaving stomachfuls of his inky midnight doubt, and I would really rather not have it at the table while I’m eating. I am pouring another glorious bowl of Frooty Froot Hoops—yeasty, store-brand sugarfuel for the lower-middle-income child poet. He spends another tasteless oatmeal evening reading essays about how to improve his writing. Instead of, like, writing to improve his writing. I ask: If you took a knife to the edge of your boundary’s boundary—stabbed right into your life-world’s fleshy monad-sac, glory running ****** down your blade, As you breached forth into the well-lit unknown, would it still be courageous, if you emerged from your warm wet ignorance, and they were all waiting outside with mylar balloons, a banner, and "Congratulations on your Artistic Rupture!” in blue icing on the cake?? There's still a moment there, right? Petrified in the sap of thrill, in the momentous-stasis between The arrow flung and the arrow fallen. A moment of advancement …a moment of abandon! (He nods along, but he isn't listening.) I say: Newness, originality, (birth), is purely indexical. It points, and no one notices that all those shiny vegas lights aren't really moving anywhere—It's just utility bills and light-bulb trickery. They're asking for genesis extended, genesis again and again and each false gesture points only towards another incandescent unreachable elsewhere. (He nods along, still, not listening.) But there's little monotony in taking a stab! Even if it's just for them, again, those perennial spectators expecting, Waiting outside with ***** little pocket notebooks of their own, crowding the bassinets, ever-eager to begin another “surprise" celebration. Gulping sweet, sugarpink milk, I say: I happen to like this crap! It keeps my knife sharp. (He nods along, but he isn't listening.)

I endured spiritual time dilation in life's stasis field, held to a course you unwittingly set for us 40 years ago. Back then, I knew instictively you were my beacon, never doubted I should follow blindly, without question, even when I lost sight and only drifted the cosmos, always the gyroscope spinning in my head whispered, She's still out there, leading. So, I absorbed whatever light filtered in, performing some manner of karmic photosynthesis, noxious vapors escaping, replaced by vital oxygen, a mere algae amongst humanities' phytoplankton. And when the time-space coordinates aligned, you re-materialized, as you'd always been there, my sister, my spirit-guide, my love.

Stasis at Light Speed
I sought satisfaction in stupid sheepishly and shallow strides. Scared subconsciously, I swallow and sustain substance for pseudo self esteem strengthening. I seemed of in service to slumber and stinging sadness, shots sank like ships, submerging into the sea of my swarthy stomach in seconds. I somewhat sympathies as a sailor, sweating, struggling and swimming in slipping sobriety saturated in my sulking style. Scanning swarms of serial swindlers, striking sculptures stances of self-doubt. I stammer in a storm of slurs, ******* down my safety, stopping myself at the stoop of the saloon I see a seductive silhouette staging the space. She stroke my sight, standing sanguine in scarlet, soul sold in high heels. The smoothest sculptures in seven square miles were subjugated into scree and I was ****** in submission. Stubborn staggering suitors, stand shaking silently as she is stopped by sharks stalking and snarling sycophantics. So straightforward in suggesting their secret starvation to strip sensations, seem by seem, like a sub-par **** cinema scene. They step and speak short. She smokes off, stranding the scree in smoldering slaughter. Its sad this soul-less sanctuary soaking up sorrows. So self inflicting, and so satisfyingly side splitting. She sported her spurned, scorned off into sadistic solitude and stained sticky stigma, sobbing to sleep. So spent from simple stocked, stored and supported senescence of ceremonial subjection of ****** status. I savior my sincerity, and stretched out of this strange stadium of stooges. So long scarlet sanguine I sang softly, as she stole my sight suspiciously in sync with hers. Sacrificial seconds split from smearing stolidity to sharing a smile. That's simple satisfaction, so I seen scripted in sitcoms and shows. Supporting sapiens in stasis to see sappy stunners on screen, to stare snoopy, as stabs and slashes strike socially into socialites of so called sanity and sovereignty. To sweetly pay salvage as slaves of soppy studio slander. Such is this sorry Saturday night, I am solidified in sedation.

Saturday night (Alliteration in S)
I sought satisfaction in stupid sheepishly and shallow strides. Scared subconsciously, I swallow and sustain substance for pseudo self esteem strengthening.

You wanna know what it's like to be a rebel? You wanna know what it's like outside the salt circle looking in? I tell you what, I'm not dancing as much as flailing. Fitting enough, I am crashing again the closer that I get. You wanna know what it's like to be the other? You wanna know what it's like to live as if you were not dead but wholly aware in stasis? Holy stasis, what is it like to be alive unmoving and empty, dry of passion? I better tell this bitter truth, that being you isn't worth half the strength you generate. I tell you what, I'm not dancing as much as flailing. Fitting enough, I am crashing again the closer that I get. You wanna know what it's like to be the other? You wanna know what it's like to live as if you were not dead but wholly aware? I would trade wealth and mental health for just a touch of the sand containing what has gone lost. Just a touch, I want your hand. What's it like to be the metronome? I tell you what, I dance a lot.

Nebulous Unknown
It hits in a spiritual, delirious way the taste of blood is the only reminder of how much I enjoy the pain I crashed the car and I lived I roamed the highway searching for your ghost only to find it moved on long ago We travelled 500 miles in this chase for euphoria; the few signs on the way urging us to follow separate paths You're gone and I'm trapped within this memory, a period of stasis Cursing the alleged 'free road' that brought us to this standstill. (You never were one to take a risk, always pausing to play it safe) These selfish lights refuse to shift throwing us back to different ends of the spectrum once again Yet I'm pulsing red, devilish hues for you for you for you If I could, I would crash all over again But your lips are the only collision I need and I was never one to wear a seat-belt

Ride
Spotlights on us seemingly illuminating and otherwise blinding can't see the audience can't tell the difference between time and space different manifestations of each other creating infinite mandalas poured into rivers tones rising out of and falling into silence I trip over words and pick the sounds out of the scrapes in my palms I make motions to pick up the gravity but my actions are glitchy, disconnected an abstracted cadence remote inflection radio nuance rhythm break modal static living in stasis ants on a screen as grains of rice with bubbles in a glass of beer merging like two tones harmonizing on a secondary tonal plane move me like a modulation end me like an infinite crescendo I am suspended over several tones just let it go and I am resolved follow where the voices lead
