"vesicle" poems
There is a vast Ocean we call the Universe. In it are Galaxies like Plankton. Within them are Stars Systems like Cells. The Stars themselves are like Nuclei, are surrounded by Planets like Ribosomes, Vesicle, Rough and Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Cytoskeleton, Mitochondria, Vacuole, Cytosol, Lysosome, Centrioles within Centrosome. And sometimes in the planets are Civilizations like Atoms. Within these civilizations are People, some Positive like Protons, some Negative like Electrons, and some who just don't give a **** just like Neutrons. Making every single thing an Important (but Not Better than the other) part of the Whole System.

It uses the seatbelt as a vesicle
Slithers across your shoulders,
prickles your chest
With every beat
It pounds into your heart,
wiggles into your veins
You're infected
But it feels so good
Your blood forgets oxygen
and caters to the pulse
flowing throughout your systems
At once, Gravity remembers it's job
angrily it sinks to your feet
pools and tenses
Wearily it exits through the sole
spiders into the floor
the music has left you
You are forever infected
And it feels so good

some mornings
even my hair
seems to behave,
when i don't need
it to -- like weather
or feelings.
after
today, i was content.
i finally got my bed
just the way i like it,
settled in, surrounded
by cush, and plush and
(dead insects)
despite
a growing discomfort
in my belly, i'm still fine;
saltine remedy, mint tea
potion.
a lovely girl asked
me to catch dreams for her.
of course i will, in jars like
fireflies, natural lanterns
to light up your
imagination.
but the
aching in my belly
seems intent on staying
until addressed appropriately--
sneakily
creeping up on me
like adolescent shenanigans--
acknowledgement is
reminiscence, the kind you
don't fancy at 1:00 am.
so i mulled it over,
going home; like
a kick in the shins,
it made me realize
that the little place
in me, maybe a vein
or vesicle, is still
missing.
it used to
be an ***** a limb;
in months it shrank to
an extremity, a digit,
finally infinitesimal--
but still
missing.
(now) i'm having trouble
making my peace
with the fact that you'll have
that artery, or capillary,
or soul atom for awhile
or forever, maybe.
but i think, i posit
in fact, perhaps
by march, a few
months more,
i'll forget and
be able to say
"it's yours."

Bright hand touched the door
Easing it slowly around
With the tenderness of a prepubescent girl
Lingering gently about.
Wondering, loudly i might add,
That you really hate these Venetian blinds.
You sit in the fat leather chair,
Which must have belonged to your dad a million years ago.
You sip diet coke like your lost friend brandy,
And you cross your legs in the most ****** way
That my seminal vesicle shifts into overdrive.
Through the tainted windows
I see you raise your winter scarf to your throat
Ceremoniously, or possibly vehemently.
After which you clean your glasses with laser precision
And raise them back into place.
Your crystal gaze lands on the heavy door a few steps away,
They wait in concentrated intensity
As each heavy step’s staccato note is heard form the other side.

Forests of Time await in the vastness of our hearts
and the simplicity of
our inner gems, they sing to us
paint themselves an accolade,
sing to themselves
a daring hum
of life present, serene
in the very same hearts
out here
are heartbreaks and suicides,
here, in these moments our tyranny is our blessing.
If you haven’t yet understood the power of this vesicle, comprehend.
Here down to our toes,
we are death, life, assimilated and working.
We are paradox's conclusions
we are demons denying themselves patience, do you hear me?
This could be our last sentence, our last repeat of the cyclic crimes splattered across screens and into our minds, honed deep into DNA and memories passed down to us,
do you think that karma doesn’t die….
Forget with me, for a moment what may tie to you to this or that, what may make you some way or another and remember,
the possibility of your existence and it's slimness and it's fervor
such beauty I could sing.
Come home.
Come home.
Come home to the wonder of yourself.
7 billion+ people and you are lovable, by some one, somewhere, right now, know this, and no I’m not talking ****** partners, although they may fall into the mix,
I’m talking family and friends,
I’m talking the trees who shake and shimmy and bend,
I’m saying the sky loves you, the rivers love you,
the dreams love you, you are a shimmering essence of pollution
turned sparkling star dust when you live like you are worthy, live like you know what you are, ( nothing short of a miracle)
live knowing the magic and beauty that flows through you,
yes, you who knows what death tastes like…and still smiles at the majesty of it all.
If you haven’t yet understood the power of this vesicle, comprehend.
We all have it on our very lips, we all have the ashes of those long dead in our lungs
we burn that to make our cars run.
We think we’re alone out here in the universe
we never even left home
Or explored the forests waiting in the vastness of our hearts.
Come home.
Come home.
Come home.

September's sinking sun
summons shorter days, persimmon's pearled berries
have been gobbled up, sultry sunflowers still stand tall,
but court their namesake's light coyly now, perhaps knowing it will starve them out when its arc loses length to the earth's taunting tilt
mercury crawls slowly
down the tube:
100,
90,
80,
70,
like blood returning
to the heart for a fresh start,
until it settles in its own vesicle, patiently waiting for heat's return
to pump it once again through its brittle artery
I have no patience to wait for its return, no long yawn to greet eternal days, for I am cursed to know
September's soft songs give way to October's ambivalent skies,
and to November's naked ****** of all things green and gold
December then, need not utter a sound to convince me what leaden fate awaits the long forgotten ghosts of summer,
and the seeds I have yet to sow in futile ground

i nearly do think
and dream upon
the wiggling human stuff
the chaff and bile
the sugar and kisses
i neatly do collect my
unmean thoughts on the
elliptical burning teeth
of life(wherein reposed
days are languished
and animated)i take
each trembling
hollow vesicle of common
people things and crop
about them me and my
particulars
i
do think and bumble
i marvel and revile
(and i should think
after knowing
but i
don't
know
A thing)
