"sweated" poems
like that pill bitter Sunday morning (after) with a nauseating hack the previously uneventful Tuesday derailed in surrealistic tale with Auntie and Jack (and a quarter of fate) in the 748 on a night flight from Sherwood to Lore reverberating waves of imminent summer haze river flats and flower fields fly weights and silver bait shredders and shysters and open gates (into those everlasting and sweated journeys of hope) bloods and strays and florentine grays (reminiscent of Rockwell fame) running horses and overgrown country lanes morning grace and gentle cheer eyes clear on the river pass *blunted paddles for those ancient and not so willing suckers!* duke making his own way (to the corner club) Parsons and Poe stream from the torn screen door cricket cadence and symphony of the Deere calm and deliberate in the soft and silent fields meadows open for grazing (guineas scamper across the till) pocket apples fill the country ripe air drunken bees and chestnuts and electric fingers strike the surface pool (a cedar strip wedged on the white wash dock) baited bull heads set to cast evenings with hearts and Nolten Nash may flowers bloom across the grass ~ time unmatched ~ with blue jays and river bends and channel cats ...and that warm and recurring Coleman drift

After years of aimless wanderings Leaving behind the cities of midnight revels And the fevered journey in metro rails, I am back at the land of my people. Wherever I went, Under which ever roof I slept, I had carried my land, As a jewel in a casket And ensured it rested safe Ever under my pillow As I moved with aliens Unable to merge with their cultural mores, I saw my land glimmer in darkness Like a dew drop on a moon blanched leaf When I sweated in the blistering sands A patch of green landscape, like an oasis Wafted me in a cool embrace Then dreams poured in like star light And I wandered in the meadows of my youthful love My heart struggling to forget old longings And memories lashing upon me like tidal waves Pursued by that inalienable shadow Suddenly being born in flesh and blood I hastened to the streets of my youth With hopes galore and plans vivid But alas! There is none to recognize me Oh! I am a stranger here An unwelcome stranger among total strangers Now I wonder which is truly my land? The one left behind or the one just landed in? Oscillating between these two worlds, My fractured identity looms large With worms of memories wriggling in my flesh And a myth suddenly dying in my brain

My Fractured Identity
I am the ****** Singer of songs, Dancer... Softer than fluff of cotton... Harder than dark earth Roads beaten in the sun By the bare feet of slaves... Foam of teeth... breaking crash of laughter... Red love of the blood of woman, White love of the tumbling pickaninnies... Lazy love of the banjo thrum... Sweated and driven for the harvest-wage, Loud laughter with hands like hams, Fists toughened on the handles, Smiling the slumber dreams of old jungles, Crazy as the sun and dew and dripping, heaving life of the jungle, Brooding and muttering with memories of shackles: I am the ****** Look at me. I am the ******

******
Lone walker, In the midst of the crowd his heart was always alone. Sank into the belly of tribulations, Unlike the missionary journey of Jonah he was vomited into more woes. Like how a beautiful mountain in a wilderness thirst for tourist So his heart was hungry for love. If loneliness is synonymous to poverty then he deserved this cross. Lone walker, He lonely walked on thorns, struggled with everything, sweated blood. He lived a life of trapped miners in a cave miles below fresh air. Lone walker, Rain of respite barely shower on his path. Sun bit his skin, dews often united with his tears, For there was no even a free den for him to rest his head. His days were worse than the trials of Job, For he had not even a wife to encourage him to curse God and give up the ghost. Like an eaglet without a falcon, he was accustomed to crying for his dying talents that was hidden too deep for any scout to discover. To him the world was empty and void of helpers Until a moment came when he decided to abort his worries, fears and his ugly past. In a flash he recalled the parable of the talents, In a speed of lightning he stood and put his hidden gift into use. I key my mind into the eyes of the reader of his biography, As I stood in the midst of his children offspring in his burial ceremony fit for kings, With the assurance that he is not walking alone to heaven or hell indeed And surely his once lonely heart would be filled with merriment and peace.

Before walking through the doorway Made of trash bags A woman checked our ID’s We passed the booth with the feathers and the ball-gags Passed the woman selling *** toys Just a white awning with plastic chairs We sat and watched a man dressed in leather He was the kind of expert who understood his passion But for him there was no teaching it Beer saturated my white shirt As I sweated it out I could feel the alcohol in my lungs I breathed slower as if it would hide the sensation He explained to us puppy play The dynamics He had his own puppy with him A man so good at making wet eyes So good at seeming lost He barked and wagged an invisible tail Chewed on rope Probably he thought about burying his bone What his wife might be making for dinner Wondered if I had recognized him as a regular At my work While taking questions the leather man said It takes time to discover the puppy inside It makes me think of how In order to view ourselves as anything We need a filter I want you to **** me With a ****** full of yes I told them If I were a puppy I would be very stupid But great to cuddle We can admit these things about ourselves While in character If I tell you I am pretending to be anything I can still find ways to pretend to be me It is like an electric chair Disguised as a lazy boy It will not hold you for long Your skin does not fit proper It makes me think of my father The Clown Who bent me into shape With his balloon animal breath Only he had asthma The empty static My inner puppy Is a half deflated balloon poodle Ends pulled tight like amputee sausage link limbs Looking lost and lonely isn’t hard What’s hard about it is Looking like that was your intention In character Some invisible narrator I can admit anything

before that, we sat pinned and winded on steel hands and plated masks near the crimson jade pools by the killing fields of bordeaux we did not look we could not look our eyes blinded and seared by the charred remains and shallow graves the battered birch and caliginous path drifters and vagabonds and kings of kings held witness to the pounding and overkill the blades cauldrons and burning sweet-grass all brought forth by healers rammers, sages and holy front men glance behind (watching them sort through the rubble and ***** the blood flow spilling its warmth throughout the festering scene they pulled the stops out on this one ~ those sweated woodlands and churned meadows now framed by a burned and broken cross autumn like winds begin to chill (casting spells over ground cover) night lights flicker beyond the fallen trees

This is something I might share with you- to feel close to you ; we are sapiosexual like that. And we may talk and share and talk and share before I feel the goodbye approach like the late train, Expected, tinged with my hope that tonight you may fall desperately in love with me. And we would talk into the night and you wouldn't care about getting up the next day simply because you wanted to grasp moments where we were connected. That night we could have sweated under covers on the phone As we sweated under covers when i gave you something to stay for, Your own selfish desires, you id. Just as you did when you sent me home after your release and after times when you didn't, but never looked me in the eye to tell me with your looks that you loved me. Oh I resented you for it; honey just want me like I want you.

Wanting
With swirling serves and Arcing, Lashing loops, The Table Tennis King Of spin, Attacks his foe. In gladiatorial combat He reigns supreme, Sweeping and swirling, Smashing, And feather-touching, That gyrating ball. For many hours he’s trained and sweated, Perfecting skills from very youthful days. He started in the youthie playing “Ping-Pong”, To rise, a phoenix, from the local flames. His coaches now sit very proudly, Having made him sweat and toil. With all that stamina-work behind him, No way will he go off the boil. At last he stands victorious, Having made that final **** There is no game like Table Tennis, And winning’s such a glorious thrill! PAUL BUTTERS

You were no Eve of Russian literature like Pushkin’s precious Tatyana. You were no young, innocent, provincial girl seduced by cynical Onegin, that bon vivant corrupted by modern European values. You were no mysterious Russian soul brimful of essential purity and self-sacrifice - with a love of pain and pure disdain of happiness. Tatyana resisted all temptation, refusing to take flight, rejecting the man she loved. She was too good to be true; but you, Anna what a pickle you got yourself in, choosing ****** sin. You could share an affair with dashing Vronsky elope with him and leave behind your husband abandon your beloved son, Alexei. But these were not the dreadful choices sealing your tragic fate, my dear Anna. It was those ****** feelings you chased all based on the sin of selfishness. You fed on romance, passion and desire. Your hot-hunger was insatiable, a fire rip-roaring through restraint and all decorum You sweated and panted wild for ****** They say you’re a ‘drama queen’; heartless and mean a woman undone by excess, always longing to undress nakedly making grand errors of judgement. By ignoring Tatyana’s fine example, you certainly forgot there will always be those who tot up the ledger. Your blood debt was owing, it had to be paid. You saw the light at the end of the tunnel - cool down, Anna, let the raw feelings subside be watchful, wary and ever-ready to step aside let the moments of menace and gloom drain – it might just be an oncoming train is due. © M.L.Emmett 2016

***** girl. godly beast. I couldn't be one of those beautifuls if I pleased. tribal bones stained with European empirico I am black death disease, just human trash that learned to read & I believe bootleg genius is being massively reproduced more cheaply & as we speak is being weakened so as to be spoon fed to the cool kids. yknow they couldn't do it by themselves. never sweated. laughed instead yes I seen em inchin to the edge but I didn't do anything about it. I kinda feel guilty cause I didn't do anything about it. It's just a ****** up awful sound, a whole generation hitting the ground at once. Man. it really puts things in perspective. kinda makes you wonder what's coming next. medicine medley ineffectual malady infectious witch hunt etiquette, I think in pictures disney depictions of apocalyptic **** yet to be decrypted I rip myself to pieces every day.

A kilo of fish brinjal pumpkin Cauliflower raisin and bean Washing soap and eggs one crate Need to buy bring from market! Mustard oil some milk and rice Cashew nut and a horde of spice Gourd and potato spinach cabbage The list is long fills a page! Feel confused from where to start How to pile and stack on a cart Shoeshine cream to adhesive glue All calculations and maths to do! Ticked what’s got unticked what’s not Cash dwindles with much unbought Trudge back home in sweated daze She checks items and fumes in rage!

From Market
Love—sometimes too abstract, but I know it lives in slow songs played in the backseat of my car. I know it ripples down your tongue as I lick, kick and grab. I know it shocks your backbone as I place my hand under and over and in-between. Love—sometimes too abstract, but I found it resting on a fallen branch in a park. I found it in the bottom of a chocolate malt. I found it caught in a rabbit trap. Love—sometimes too abstract, but I see it in you. And it smiles back, amber, un-blistered, and perfect. now— let me **** on those pussy-sweated fingers, and I promise I will **** you on my vintage Remington typewriter.

Rendezvous
And again my heart pounced over skin cold; that pleaded singleness, with hypocritical beats I bowed to, to her highness; to her petite shrill, a debut in partial denial; unpleasant, as i withdrew with foul felony, thoughts raced through judging ethics, while simplicity ****** away the soul, into a contagious six holed drain... And I locked myself behind blue bars, losing the wall I built with sweated palms, danced did I over viscous black waters, embracing the world's false desires, smashed them pretty birds withing their cage, lost all sense of peace, I go hidden, in awe of that ever pleasant voice; I bow again; in silence I ask me to plant me in her backyard, water me with her sour scents, sing me her sweet lilting lullaby, and embrace me into our little concord!! Where did the wisdom lay that moment? that moment when I tasted drops of sweat... Why would I **** that clown in me? that played tunes from a gleeful cassette... When will I lose my two shadows? that followed me even while I'd regret... (a puff o' smoke and some silence) And again my heart, it pounced!!

Hypocrisy
The South African sun caused my Eleven year old eyes to squint. Sat in the stadium, my father and I, Sweated and watched rugby; A father - daughter tradition. That Saturday afternoon was the final, The stands were crowded and full, Like a fish-tank ready to burst At any moment. In front of my father and I, There sat a dark-haired woman In a lose fitting jersey. About forty minutes in, She bent down, sudden and quick, Her head, hitting her kneecaps, She screamed her intense screams; Muffled in her own bent body, Some spectators thought her crazy, She continued her whails, and soon A small crowd grew in front of us, One man pulled her straight in her seat, Her hands, her face, her her legs and stomach Were all drenched red with blood. No one ever heard the gunshot; They traced it back to its origin, Two hundred meters away, Fired from a building by the stadium. The bullet just happened to land where it did, And the game went on. - Jamie F. Nugent

A Game of Rugby
Others, I am not the first, Have willed more mischief than they durst: If in the breathless night I too Shiver now, 'tis nothing new. More than I, if truth were told, Have stood and sweated hot and cold, And through their reins in ice and fire Fear contended with desire. Agued once like me were they, But I like them shall win my way Lastly to the bed of mould Where there's neither heat nor cold. But from my grave across my brow Plays no wind of healing now, And fire and ice within me fight Beneath the suffocating night.

A Shropshire Lad *** Others, I am not the first
Sometime today... *I look up at the sky It is cloudy and dark Flickers of lightning And growling of thunder Threatening the day's work With uninvited wet showers Bad for business, these rains Keeping our customers indoors Filling our potholes to the brim Drenching our zeal to work I look, as the drops fall down In their multitudes Clattering against my window Bearing down on my roof Intent on washing away my hopes I miss the sunshine and its rays I miss the warmth of sunrise I miss the comfort of sunset And with all my heart I loathe the rain Yearning for the sun Soon a remembrance is awaken.* Somewhere in the past... *I looked up at the sky It was sunny and dry Debris of dusty winds And a hot tempered sun Worsening the day's labor With unfriendly heat waves Bad for farming, this heat! Keeping our seedlings underground Drying our boreholes to the bottom Smoking our will to work I sweated, as the rays blazed In their fury Burning through my window Melting down my roof Determined to roast my vision I missed the rain and its showers I missed the chills of the storms I missed the drizzles of dew And with all my might I despised the sun Praying for the rains As if that would quench my thirst!* Yet I wish it away as soon as it comes... © Raphael Uzor

I got the small room. I am winning the day. Finally, I can breathe. except, the walls are stained, the mattress, too. thick brown streaks; a hundred men have sweated The Fear in these walls, I think. the mirror in the shared bathroom sees the blood in my eyes. a fly, a small black, buzzing fly, crawls over my fingers as I am writing this letter. and the fly crawls over me, Over the table, Over my dreams. crawls over cheap, thin-soled shoes. my words on the page. my whisky, too. the fly crawls across the dents in my soul. the handkerchief I use to wipe my mouth. and so, what do you do? I swing my pencil at its soft dark body, failing, I flail my arms, as crazy men do. would anyone rescue me from my hell and understand. the fly and I. isolated I am. through the window pane, under the full haunted moon, I undress myself. to the bed I lay myself soon. the single-sized sluggish bed before me. bed of a hundred men. one hundred dead men. one hundred dead-drunk men. me, now as I am.

All of a sudden came infront of me. Fearless, bold and daring was she. Opened all her clothes one by one. I stood still, momentarily stunned. Started dancing with horrific pose. My body sweated, my blood froze. Razed anyone who stood in her way. Static, outstretched ****** Lies lay. Myth got wounded, profusely bled. Fiction hastened with fractured head. Falsehood hid behind proud Vanity. Vanity veiled himself with Humility. Without delay deceitful Deceit fled. Headstrong Ignorance lay dead. Witnessed her many ugly stance. Today I saw Truth's naked dance.

Truth's naked dance
A man and his brother set on a task An undertaking attempted many times by others To no avail nothing and no one could succeed But their vision was to them possible It seemed that this feat was not meant to be The world told them to quit If God wanted it to be he would have giving you the tools Yet they were undeterred in this goal They toiled and worked They slaved and sweated Failed many times in their task But together they crawled toward their aim One day they finally did it They climbed aboard their creation And started a new era in the modern world Finally these brothers did the impossible Their names were Wilbur and orville wright Stubbornness is perhaps the greatest gift God has given man Those who have it are mocked and berated by their clan Undeterred they continue toward their mission Never swayed by words blinded by their ambition When the dust settles everyone sees The answer to success is this disease More things have been done By unrelenting men seeking the long run Stubbornness may in fact be wrong Alas anyone can see this burden is carried only by the strong

There was, once, a love that was based on a dance that lasted for two years. She was a partner that wanted to compete for first place in a county fair. She spoke soft, gentle words to put me at ease. We began the dance, mutually significant in each other's eyes. As we started to sweat, far into the first three months, she gave in and collapsed. My heart fell to the pit of my stomach, and my eyes welled with sorrow. We continued with our dancing practices, and did quite well. We entered other competitions, sometimes we made money and sometimes we didn't. Soon enough the county fair came a-rolling through again. We tried again. This time, the clock was already against us, but we were older and with more practice. We began the dance, we tried as well as we could, we sweated and took delightful deep breaths in the middle of this event. We were both pleased with the outcome. We ended up agreeing not to be partners again. Anyone up for a dance partner?

soliciting solitude attitude
Total parrot care Cried the signboard In the narrow sleepy by-lane I gave it a dreamy stare. I have been too rare on this road Coming this way was no need But when I chanced upon that signboard My search ended for parrot feed. Is there anybody there? I echoed de la mare Found none at the counter Not even the shopkeeper! Dismayed I looked around If some human semblance could be found But fell nothing in my gaze Other than a parrot in a cage! Turning to leave I was stopped by a voice *Find here sir a variety of choice Not just parrot feed Under one roof all that they need.* Who is speaking I asked in awe There wasn’t a human face I saw But could tell it with certainty There were eyes watching me. *Don’t leave sir without the delicious pellet Once you take it you’ve to come back Serves well a parrot’s palate The bird loves this crunchy snack.* It now emerged who was playing the trick I was hearing parrot speak None other there not one human folk The shop was run by parrot talk! *I scampered out with one long hop Disappeared the lane the parrot shop I was tossing on my sweated bed By this funny dream that rocked my head!*
