"uninhabitable" poems
All my poems are The same, aren't they? *"You're being lied to by a corrupt, Imperialistic government, Corporations own your soul, We're destroying the planet's Natural resources, making It uninhabitable, to ourselves and Driving other species to extinction, Capitalism is unethical, and It subverts the potential For real democracy, Yada yada yada yada Blah blah blah"* Maybe I should write about Something else, but what? I like flowers, Flowers are nice, Especially orchids, but Not those weird, Smelly ones that grow On Callery trees... no Those things reek like Stale **** and sour milk. Ah, but who could deny The pungent and delicate Fragrance of a rose? Someone with anosmia, That's who. What, you didn't Stop to think about, People with disabilities? How incredibly Inconsiderate! What are you? Some sort of Overprivileged, straight, White, cis male ableist? **** off, you ****** You might as well Be a fascist. I would Tell you to go back To **** Germany, but HEY, NEWS FLASH, It's 2015, buddy, Grow up and join Us adults here in The real world. Wait... where was I going with this?

Something Different
As life in Israel flourishes For Israelis, it's not so fine-- As many conditions deteriorate-- For the poor people of Palestine. Chances of a two-state solution Dwindle, which is not a good sign As settlement expansions increase, Affecting the people of Palestine. For Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza, The infrastructure is in a decline. Will Gaza be uninhabitable for The poor people of Palestine? Defining what is their land, Israeli Lawmakers draw a hard line: This land belongs to the Jews, they say, Forgetting the people of Palestine. Cuts in economic aid And hospital care will undermine The health and quality of life Of the poor people of Palestine? Will an Israeli apartheid regime Be the ultimate design, Or will there be hope for the poor Struggling people of Palestine? -by Bob B (10-22-18)

But What About Poor Palestine?
i. Off to Fuga island Next to the pamalican; Then to Bucas grande In the turquoise shallow end's. ii. Next, the Mactan Wherein the grain's art caramel tan; Then to the land of Coran And Cebu, where the shore meet's the dawn. iii. Hiding safely, on Bohol isle There art tarsier, and thing's of wild; Diogo islet next, an uninhabitable place Me and mine Reyna shalt explore it, with tribal paint on face. iv. Off, to the great Santa Cruz Ourn feet, in the pink corraline sand; Zamboanga City, the southern region Of this Filipino relic strand.. v.

Expedition, of earth's natural kitchen
There once was a tiny bundle of cells that grew in my womb without the assistance of fertility medications or ovulation testing a surprise spontaneous occurrence of the first sparks of Life a product of the kind of ******* that happens on a honeymoon between newlyweds full of bliss, lust, and hope My womb once thought uninhabitable to such an occurrence boarded a plane home five days later cradling this new truth- The Honeymoon Baby Weeks would pass before my womb would begin to betray its secret 3 days late- nothing 5 days late- nothing 8 days late- the little blue plus sign and a whisper from deep in me- “You aren’t broken?” For several hours my womb and I jealously guarded this knowledge My new husband not known for his enthusiasm wouldn’t share in my joy So I sat alone feeding my hungry heart on now debunked beliefs “You AREN’T broken!” Having gorged myself to the point of bursting on a meal years in the making I looked with wet eyes to my then partner of more than half a decade “we made a honeymoon baby; I’m not broken.” No, he wouldn’t share my joy. His eyes turned to windows in the days that would follow They screamed their disgust into the wide open parts of me as pointedly and with as much passion as his mouth could ever muster It was then that I began to silently pray the baby away My silence only increased his vitriol until with a blast he climaxed in his rage and I felt the cold of the recently adorned wedding band against my neck as the hands which had held mine so softly so often pinned me to the door Finally my silent prayers gave way to a singular scream “I ******* hate you and I hate your child inside of me!” My womb cried to hear the prayer spoken She cried so long and so loud that she began to bleed She heaved and sobbed her rage into rivers of blood that wouldn’t stop for weeks and earthquakes of cramps that would rock me to my core The unstoppable current of tears and blood carried the translucent sac that housed the had been Honeymoon Baby into the ***** porcelain bowl The baby I prayed away that would never speak whispered up “You are broken.” The honeymoon was over. I hadn’t hated him before that. Six years later to the day we signed divorce papers.

The Baby I Prayed Away

Into the back of any thoughts it simply had gone those penetrating words Nuclear War! Also spoken a nuclear winter that followed not since nineteen ninety two. Had they been uttered with such meaning with it a real threat leaning! Footage of Hiroshima seemed distant images but many countries have the weapon! A real peril is no longer mere speculation each with their known instability! Without morality to hold their actions back they'd have no qualms but attack! Tensions are running ever closer to danger levels as the irresponsibility explodes! Even a limited nuclear war could easily escalate into billions of human deaths! Obliterated from a once green fertile surface! to an ash covered uninhabitable place! Maybe the few could survive along with the cockroaches! Is this man's inevitable fate? The Foureyed Poet.

A man stands. overlooking two different visions. Two different choices. On the left he gazed over the glorious modernized utopia. Tall prominent skyscrapers, gleaming in the dazzling pure sunlight. Clinical white rows of spacious suburbia. Unnaturally green gardens of perfectly shaped, perfectly cut square grass accompanying the houses. Polished, scentless people strolled down the un-littered perfection of the linear streets. Enormous great smiles featured on the faces of all. The urban paradise. Biblical, eden in practise, sanctity. Economical bliss. Unpolluted, crime free, social perfection. No inequality, racism, no hatred only love among broters. No depression. The endless rows stretched glorious miles, convenience, supermarkets, brand new glistening, hospitals, all necessity in perfect working order. No unemployment, no political unrest. Every man among equals. Utopia. On the right hand side, wretched poverty as far as the eye can see. Cramped, overwhelmed shanty towns. Terrified people, dragging themselves through diseased streets. Crippling illness plaguing the antagonized masses. There is no employment here, no glistening new buildings. Only the decaying festering ruins of lifetimes of selfishness. Hatred, jealousy, paranoia, neurotic fluttering harpy’s, harlequins of the night. Plagued minds, plagued bodies. Gargantuan monsters of men rose from the rubble. Demented. Lava flows freely through the crumbling streets. There are no trees here, no vegetation, only blackened earth. Blackened with the ****** despair of man. Only anguish in this land. The black sun burns with hateful rage in the sooty, cloudy toxic sky, the only rain falls as corpses falling from sardine cans to the sky. Burnt out cancerous lungs, filled with sulphurous air from the giant volcano's of dead minds, spewing deadly chemicals into the already uninhabitable environment. The demons of despair stalk this land, endlessly wallowing in there own self-loathing, amongst other vile things. The decision resting on his shoulders governs life for all men, all men to come. His left side, yearning for paradise, freedom, equality for all, peace, communal gain. His right side leaning towards narcissistic self gain. Taking the world for himself, watching alone the setting of the poisoned blck sun, poisoned by his greed. He walked forward, leaving the realms of choice behind him. The future was his to choose.

the cave-in started with honesty, a promise an admiration of agency, of power and pride. it was felt for miles yet went unnoticed the surrounding area laughing "I don't understand," a birthday at the next table, a crying child. wine bled through the cracks in that cave as the flow of native water slowed to a trickle and receded to make way for desperation at least so it seemed. weeds and smiles withered and revealed selfishness, loathing, pain and fear. what appeared there in the collapsing darkness of the once rigid-- and now compromised-- shelter of those warm catacombs was, in fact, hatred layers upon layers of sedimentary disgust that rendered those systems inhospitable uninhabitable anger and wine laughter "I'm not coming back."

Anger and Wine
When sleep deserted me I crawled out of my bed unseen To delve into the crevices of the dark With the curiosity of an explorer And the near comatose of a somnambulist I walked up and down the steep slopes of the night Like a night watchman Without a lantern in his hand When my legs grew weary I sat on a rock Covered with moss and lichen Staring at the dark night sky With no constellation of fireflies Flashing their torches anywhere Sitting there, I listened to the song of night birds, The rustle of leaves, The howl of wolves, And the night wind’s rave Looking into the dark pockets of the night, I thought of human mind, a deep gorge With many an uninhabitable corner Where serpent desires lie coiled Scorpions crawl with toxic pincers Predators roam to prey upon helpless victims The mystery of the night absorbed me Her muffled sounds, her dark beauty Her elusive charm, like thick night fog, Percolated deep into my consciousness And I floundered in a fathomless sea, Swirling in her eddies and currents. It whisked me away to lands far…far! But on being washed ashore, I was in a creative delirium I am now in No Man’s Land Where everything is in a coma of stillness Where no light glimmers No door ajar And no one in sight! Here the poet in me breaks open The somnambulist's comatose And down way flow my thoughts in indelible ink Which only I can read Like a night bird Roosting among the branches of a tree I sing of my heart aches, Of my yearnings and longings In the barely audible whispers of the night, My song reverberates in the eyeless abyss down, And the dark desolate valleys below People say, ghosts walk the earth at night. Oh! I am not scared! I am not eager for the dawn to break, Nor want to put my pen down!

Forsaken soul Taking root in a land thought barren Or hostile Or uninhabitable Where the water is poison The air toxic Will your vines slip through the cracks, Dandelion? Will you be the **** That blossoms in the summer And leaves yellow stains on The palms of our hands? Will we cut your roots down? Will we shut out the sun? Do we shake the earth with cloven hooves And break the stone? Maybe you'll **** the water supply dry Or maybe you'll just **** the poison out

what is the measure of sorrow is there a standard unit against which we may rule an overladen mind and a heart demolished graphing with infinite precision each shattered hope and marking the dimensions of dreams ground to dust are tears numbered or more properly and accurately accounted by volume or weight shall we assign a value on a sliding scale to the mutilation of a human soul can we make comparison among various torments or attempt to visualize in a chart of bright colors splashed on a screen the lifelessness of one person to that of another is despair loss or hope denied might it be joy withheld does suffering have weight and volume that we might determine its mass is it instead a void where something which was present has been removed is it possible to create an image of wretchedness a ruined and rotting playground of lost innocence a charred and crumbled husk of a home shattered an arid uninhabitable waste of aspirations unbirthed with what pigment shall we produce such art which color wheel will be used in what earthly perdition are the gauges found reading the depth of misery or the height of anguish what is the magnitude of the grief the touchstone of devastation against which all other grief must be measured

pints of whiskey, cigarettes, and outer space.
Day in. Night out. Inhabit the uninhabitable. Burn, and smolder. Who left you behind? **** to **** Lip to lip. Restless lovers on a summers night. No frill and lace for you. Decrepit corpses of once treasured breaks. Repulsive and lovely. Persuasively fickle. Sinews haphazardly soldered together. Lithesome substance, leave your remains. Salacious. Canine. Obsessive. Cancer.

I am not built for love I can't keep you warm The fireplace in my chest Is soaking wet From the water that drips Through my moonlit Jagged holes Beautiful to you In some long forgotten way You won't stay In a rain stained skeleton A visitor in a museum I'll make a pretty photo For you to look back on When you go All that will remain will be Trampled leaves and high ceilings A shadow in the trees

We live a clockwork life And Saturn thinks clocks are wise We spin on clockwork time But she is counter to it Second from the sun Uninhabitable Yeah she is the son Rising in the west I long for those long days Here is only tall tales She twirls retrograde And no one posts her bail Top of the pyramid Are the tiny shiny kids They take all our bids Yeah they’re friends of Lucifer Seconds from the bomb They invented time and talk Thinks she is the bomb Rising in the west I long for those long days Here the horses are pale She spins retrograde She’s my nightingale We live a clockwork life And we think clocks are wise We spin on clockwork time But she is counter to it Second from the sun She flipped upside down Waiting for another son To rise in the east I long for those long days Here is only blood and nails She twirls retrograde She’s my blackest veil

The Fire Cycle BY ZACHARY SCHOMBURG There are trees and they are on fire. There are hummingbirds and they are on fire. There are graves and they are on fire and the things coming out of the graves are on fire. The house you grew up in is on fire. There is a gigantic trebuchet on fire on the edge of a crater and the crater is on fire. There is a complex system of tunnels deep underneath the surface with only one entrance and one exit and the entire system is filled with fire. There is a wooden cage we’re trapped in, too large to see, and it is on fire. There are jaguars on fire. Wolves. Spiders. Wolf-spiders on fire. If there were people. If our fathers were alive. If we had a daughter. Fire to the edges. Fire in the river beds. Fire between the mattresses of the bed you were born in. Fire in your mother’s belly. There is a little boy wearing a fire shirt holding a baby lamb. There is a little girl in a fire skirt asking if she can ride the baby lamb like a horse. There is you on top of me with thighs of fire while a hot red fog hovers in your hair. There is me on top of you wearing a fire shirt and then pulling the fire shirt over my head and tossing it like a fireball through the fog at a new kind of dinosaur. There are meteorites disintegrating in the atmosphere just a few thousand feet above us and tiny fireballs are falling down around us, pooling around us, forming a kind of fire lake which then forms a kind of fire cloud. There is this feeling I get when I am with you. There is our future house burning like a star on the hill. There is our dark flickering shadow. There is my hand on fire in your hand on fire, my body on fire above your body on fire, our tongues made of ash. We are rocks on a distant and uninhabitable planet. We have our whole life ahead of us.

You can have Tennessee, I want Rhode Island, You can have Michigan, But I want Arizona. You can have Manhattan, Austin, Las Angeles, But please pay no mind to West Virginia. I deserve Hatteras, Considering my childhood Phoenix? Please keep it, I don’t belong there I want the subways, The taxis, And Vegas, I’ll promise to steer clear from your home state, New Hampshire. Make sure to take the country roads, railways, and buses, As long has as you never step foot in Seattle. You can have our old apartment, I get the dog though, He likes me better, Burn down the bar where we met long ago. I want Wisconsin, Maryland, Ohio, Say hello to your mother for me in California. A mutual declaration, We divide our favorite places. If we’re lucky, We’ll never contact again. We’ll map out the borders, Part ways, Shake hands, Declaring the love we had, uninhabitable. And yes, we’ll split the difference. If we should step on each other’s path, in passing, Despite my avoidance, I will be very humble, Very stern, Aloof, But forgiving. I don’t ever want to see you again, my friend.

Mapped
The light of the sun creeps across the duvet under which you and I are entwined. Our limbs entangled like a pair of neglected earphones, stowed away in a now unused jacket pocket; both of us pleasantly unable to ascertain where our body starts and the others begins. The room smells like stale cigarettes and wine, which is only intensified by both the heat of the sun and the warmth of our own biology. The aroma transforms from stale to fresh as I crack a new bottle, pouring us both a healthy glass, whilst you light our last cigarette; Taking a few draws then passing it to me, along with the over-flowing ashtray. Our unwashed skin is sticky with dry sweat, accumulated during sleep and ********** Our mouths rancid from the wine and the lack of toothpaste applied. To the naked eye there is a thick and smokey cloud of filth occupying the space above our heads; creating an atmosphere uninhabitable to anyone but us. This mass of pollution combines with the salt-filled air, streaming in from the open window; making for an interesting cocktail of unpleasantness. To all this we are blissfully unaware, and we just lie there, basting in it; caring not a jot. Our thoughts only for each other and the tingling in our nerve endings when we catch the others eye. For eternity we lie there, until one of us has to ****

The morning after the night before
It was humanity that was the mixed bag of jelly beans at summer camp that spilled out into the scorching sun restless for *** and sun-tans. All before they melted away into Kandinsky paintings pretending that happiness was something of a virtue. And while the paintings ignited into a righteous firestorm of white men in white robes with hope and faith, flying out the church doors and taking to the sky, morphing into airplanes to destroy the great peace in the form of two obelisks pointing to Allah. To the american hypocrisy that we drink like cough syrup to cure nothing. While pretending everything was alright. While dead men are worshiped more than a word of the past that is the future. Let us forget about innovation. Let us look back onto the great circles of cycles that we overturn on the great history of the 4th of July flagpoles that I grasp, feeling the pulse of the blood-filled stripes. Let us look to the cold-blooded blue square that we plant ourselves on as stars, making our marks in this smooth and creamy void. Let us walk into the white absences were color is uninhabitable to the Negroes or the Latinos who used all of their angry fixes in activism and cigarettes that burn holes through eternity. To the Chinese who were thrown out of our stars like mutts in order for our stars to shine the plastic glow that stays illuminated in the lights of Chick-fil-A that sells homosexuals with a side of Leviticus. Taking, taking, taking to the past and somehow justifying death to natives, then scalping the land as some sort of victory of great imperialism that still hangs to our hearts like a collective tumor. But I have been kind, I have been free. To the breath of foreigners breaking the normality that is conformity. Let me scare you with your greatest fear which is locked away in gravestones and darkness. Locked away in Kerouac, Whitman and Ginsberg For that which is change. I speak directly to the inner gashes that are your soul. Change before the fireworks turn into mutually assured destruction. And you won’t. Change before the feminists shoot me with their trigger warnings. And you won’t. Change before the immigrants last breath murmurs **** dreams”. And you won’t. I am America and my flag is paper, white paper.

my brother, my home we were born from the same sunken star a pair of old weary souls still far apart, falling apart I miss your nearness to me but we are a bit closer among the universe if you ever feel like your world is uninhabitable you can join mine because I cannot remember if you're a dream or a memory I swear we've touched before although I had always been wishing you weren't a fragment of my own imagination

three years in a row.
This, this emotion Some form of disillusion And they question why Questioning me As they question themselves I embrace the fog The same one that holds it all My past My present And the end The one that is my future I have little time left That little I hold dear Each word with precision I have learned to hate This time The time I have left Spent only with those Too familiar with my end Or to unknowing To have some semblance of a care They came to drive me toward this This wanting This longing for death Suicide is no longer there That option I had It would only be pity now In the eyes of the strangers I draw back my words now Regress into silence Take my tears Take my breath Take my soul This longing Consuming Ensuing The sooner it grows near The less my voice rings The less I am heard I am transparent Fading Save me from this This digressing host This uninhabitable being Free me from myself

Transparent
From the depths of the sea, they came. Homeless. Creatures of hapless form, and formless bodies. Animals carved in the nature of blindness, without godly supervision; deities. Convicts they were; that which is wrong, Leaving behind a world lost to them. Alas, Their crime is that they did not belong. But even in exile, they hold debt to their past. They flopped, they crawled and oozed, Out of old skin, they became something new. So the years passed and frequently bruised, They became gargantuan and further still; grew. Inhabiting a land, once uninhabitable; now tamed. Creating dominion over raw nature, they climbed. Hills, valleys, mountains, volcanoes! They claimed. Even in the face of annihilation, they climbed. Above it all they choose to rest, touching the sky. The creatures learned time, then they chased it. Always pursuing it, always getting one step ahead. Fly, They soon did, faster, faster, faster, they chased 'it'. Until they broke out of the awesome surface. Like once before they made prints on lands once untouchable. The creatures are creatures no more. At least not all. But, soon. All the creatures will float away 'pon solar winds. I look back on the first of them all. The scared, Unsheltered and curious creature of the old world. It looks upon me, with questioning, unaware of destiny. Unprepared, In its dark eyes, I see light. Light that I am closer to taming. Knowledge unfurled.

It is Evolution...
My fingertips graze over that which I have yet to grasp. Like a book, I see the cover. I know the summary. Its hype is nearly unbearable. I feel that without it, I have yet to feel. I feel that without it, I have yet to feel. A perk and a pain A bliss and an absence. Searches are futile. Empty discoveries abound. Failure is nearly inevitable. Authenticity is scarce. It possesses some power with which it virtually rules over all. My curiosity contends my logic and my overwhelming antipathy conflicts my yearning. I lack the longing that follows a loss which gives me pause. As my ****** heart stares at the void, a quivering light emits from the candle of fear, brushing the untouched walls, illuminating the potentiality of destruction. There is no day in which logic does not step between my heart and the void and start to board up the place. It is too risky, logic declares, this place is uninhabitable. But the naive, ignorant heart implores, Just wait.

Fearful Patience
My safety advisory system been elevated to RED Please be aware of your surroundings at all times and do NOT leave your body unattended....but! I should capitalize that...BUT it is not always a choice. And lately, awareness and attendance to my body have not been a choice. I cannot stay in this body at night. It is uninhabitable. And I tell DT there is so much I can’t talk about. So many things that happened that I’m so ashamed of ~ things I cannot believe I did. And I don’t trust myself. I don’t like the huge blackness that surrounds me that continues to threaten me every night. I don’t want to remember. I want to forget it all. All of it. Because at night, when the anguish and pain torment me to the point I consider taking a bottle of Vicodin, and slitting my wrists in the bathtub, it scares me. So many things that remind me of back then terrorize me now, in my present moment. And I know I need help with it ~ but at the rate I’m able to communicate about this stuff, I will surely be dead before the torment stops. DT tells me to be patient, be patient…but it just keeps getting worse and one night my patience is going to run out and I will do something irreversible. But still he says, be patient, he says he has respect and patience and he will be here when I'm ready to talk. But I'm afraid to speak because the truth is too scary. I offered to draw him a picture instead. His patience feels infinite and yet I still feel as though I am drowning and he is taking too much time blowing up the life raft. I feel sick. And I feel worried. The pain is torturing me and the pain meds barely touch it. It’s that bad right now. I want to cut...it’s been a struggle. And I feel worried. And not just for me. I have two good friends whom are also struggling and I don’t know how to help them because I feel so lost too right now. I want to help them but I don’t know what to do. Just be right here, I guess. I wish I could tell them that it’s going to be okay ~ and I could say that, but I don’t know how long it will be before we make it to okay ~ and I don’t know if I have the energy make it that far. My Security threat level has now been raised to RED. I am safe right this minute, but I don’t know how long I can stay that way…there is no way to tell.
