"waving" poems
who knew that in about 4 years time, or maybe 10,000 years lost in 10,000 multi hued tears, id be on the same trip- dancing to the same shimmering inner grove as before- braiding fresh cut flowers- delicate genital-hands, unfolding in prayer into my subconscious mind or perhaps into my hair- saving colored prism fragments of knowledge or nonsense- digesting intoxicating incense smoke into the deep throated green streaked laughter chasms that are my lungs- spinning vinyl, spun mind unwinding, undulating through string music- contemplating the sunset's sweet immaculate form, reoccuring and balancing itself right outside my window- dressing in shells, bones, and beads; kaleidoscope fabric dripping from the ******* like mother Kali in a Fellini flick- peeping out at heads slinking down the ****** pavement streets- my hairy angelic form grooving intensely, spastic- body flung, strung out in hot patterns of mirrored arms and legs- brain brew bubbling; wicked, fantastic- limbs waving and grabbing at tangible tasty morsels, smelling strongly of indigo and patchouli- the East smiling on me and my intrepid journey to the ocean city- head thrown back in tranquil madness- pipe smoke curling like ancient hound howls from the corners of my lips- smiles spread like insanity, a wicked disease lost in the forgotten finger painted confounds of creamy ****** milk consciousness- basking in lamplight of the golden glistening Now.

girl-child flashback
You're the Wacky Wolf-man, Tearing through our pages with a single huff. Breathing life into us little piggies, Blasting your way through the daily fluff. You're the Word Wizard. Leaving us in awe and in dribbles. Waving your wand, Conjuring magical and spellbinding scribbles. You're the Living Legend, Almost like a deity of some sort. Garnering shiploads of admiration, Through words of encouragement, banter and retort. You're the Bad Boy Bard... Never mincing your words. Unconventional, you howl amidst the flocks... You never did chirp like the birds... You're the Minstrel Mobster, Shooting your Tommy, never missing. Flicking forward your fedora, Strung lute ever smoking. You're one Cool Cat. Fending off haters with a bat. Everyone just wants to be that. Like a superhero whose symbol is a bat... You're a Gem Generator. Cogs and gears churning the jewels laid Machine malfunction! My system's jammed! Well I guess that's just it... Enough said!

when i fall, i don't just fall in love. clumsily, i stumble down and then i land awkwardly and graceless, stuttering utterly at the foot of a handsome man, blundering an apology out of breath, ineptly embarrassed about my shaky hands, clambering to dust myself off, all the while, i try, desperately, to stand wishing i could disappear, i rise as quickly as i can waving off any helping hand so he doesn't see how incredibly stupid i must be

It's beginning... As my day matured into the tangerine sun. Familiar feelings effortlessly conjured as the same old tales were spun. Some came in hues of marmalade Traces of citrus that left in haste. Initial sweetness on the palate that would fade Only making way for a bitter aftertaste. A few were wrapped in tints of ginger. A jolt-like sensation that spoke... Intense and unmistakable in nature. Like glowing embers engulfed in latent flames and smoke. Several bore the colours and scent of marigold Boasting of orange petals whimsically waving to the clouds... Whispering hints of rumours from days of old, Days of when mine was the only silent face in a boisterous crowd. The ones forged in bronze were few and hardly said. Like the only compelling excerpt embedded within infinite chapters. Hidden words in plain sight strung together boldly in red. Rubies cast carelessly in the swiftest of rivers... It is beginning... The end of today as the sun grew redder... I'd bide the sands of time as it slips away into forever...

For Al, who left us With each passing poem, The degree of difficulty of diving ever higher, Bar incrementally niched, inched, raised, Domain, the association of words, ever lesser, Repetition verboten, crime against pride. Al, You ask me when the words come: With each passing year, In the wee hours of Ever diminishing time snatches, The hours between midnight and rising, Shrinkage, once six, now four hours, Meant for body restoration, Transpositional for poetic creation, Only one body notes the new mark, The digital, numerical clock of Trillion hour sleep deficit, most taxing. Al, you ask me from where do the words come: Each of the five senses compete, Pick me, Pick me, they shout, The eyes see the tall grasses Framing the ferry's to and fro life. Waving bye bye to the End of day harbor activities, Putting your babies to sleep. The ears hear the boat horns Deep voiced, demanding pay attention, I am now docking, I am important, The sound lingers, long after They are no longer important. The tongue tastes the cooling Italian prosecco merging victoriously With its ally, the modestly warming rays Of a September setting sun, finally declaring, without stuttering, Peace on Earth. The odoriferous bay breezes, A new for that second only smell, But yet, very old bartender's recipe, Salt, cooking oil, barbecue sauce, gasoline And the winning new ingredient, freshly minted, Stacked in ascending circumference order, onion rings. These four senses all recombinant, On the cheek, on the tongue, Wafting, tickling, blasting, visioning Merging into a single touch That my pointer finger, by force majeure, Declares, here, poem aborning! Contract with this moment, now satisfied! Al, what you did not ask was this: With each passing poem, I am lessened within, expurgated, In a sense part of me, expunged, Part of me, passing too, Every poems birth diminishes me. _________________________________ (this poem more than most, for its birth celebrates my loss, your loss, which cannot be exonerated 8/7/18) _________________________________ written at 4:38 AM September 8th, 2012 Greenport Harbor, Long Island

2013: With Each Passing Poem
For Al, who left us With each passing poem, The degree of difficulty of diving ever higher, Bar incrementally niched, inched, raised, Domain, the association of words, ever lesser, Repetition verboten, crime against pride.

death wants more death, and its webs are full: I remember my father's garage, how child-like I would brush the corpses of flies from the windows they thought were escape- their sticky, ugly, vibrant bodies shouting like dumb crazy dogs against the glass only to spin and flit in that second larger than hell or heaven onto the edge of the ledge, and then the spider from his dank hole nervous and exposed the puff of body swelling hanging there not really quite knowing, and then knowing- something sending it down its string, the wet web, toward the weak shield of buzzing, the pulsing; a last desperate moving hair-leg there against the glass there alive in the sun, spun in white; and almost like love: the closing over, the first hushed spider-sucking: filling its sack upon this thing that lived; crouching there upon its back drawing its certain blood as the world goes by outside and my temples scream and I hurl the broom against them: the spider dull with spider-anger still thinking of its prey and waving an amazed broken leg; the fly very still, a ***** speck stranded to straw; I shake the killer loose and he walks lame and peeved towards some dark corner but I intercept his dawdling his crawling like some broken hero, and the straws smash his legs now waving above his head and looking looking for the enemy and somewhat valiant, dying without apparent pain simply crawling backward piece by piece leaving nothing there until at last the red gut sack splashes its secrets, and I run child-like with God's anger a step behind, back to simple sunlight, wondering as the world goes by with curled smile if anyone else saw or sensed my crime

Death Wants More Death

Little sea, Cast me in waters most surrounding And ring me in kaleidoscope of reef, Gently waving me home, promising Deep underwater lands. Little star, Guide me in my mission of light, Turn me toward the green valleys, The blood streams, the noble orchard And fruitions of dream.

Sea and Star
My dog has died. I buried him in the garden next to a rusted old machine. Some day I'll join him right there, but now he's gone with his shaggy coat, his bad manners and his cold nose, and I, the materialist, who never believed in any promised heaven in the sky for any human being, I believe in a heaven I'll never enter. Yes, I believe in a heaven for all dogdom where my dog waits for my arrival waving his fan-like tail in friendship. Ai, I'll not speak of sadness here on earth, of having lost a companion who was never servile. His friendship for me, like that of a porcupine withholding its authority, was the friendship of a star, aloof, with no more intimacy than was called for, with no exaggerations: he never climbed all over my clothes filling me full of his hair or his mange, he never rubbed up against my knee like other dogs obsessed with *** No, my dog used to gaze at me, paying me the attention I need, the attention required to make a vain person like me understand that, being a dog, he was wasting time, but, with those eyes so much purer than mine, he'd keep on gazing at me with a look that reserved for me alone all his sweet and shaggy life, always near me, never troubling me, and asking nothing. Ai, how many times have I envied his tail as we walked together on the shores of the sea in the lonely winter of Isla Negra where the wintering birds filled the sky and my hairy dog was jumping about full of the voltage of the sea's movement: my wandering dog, sniffing away with his golden tail held high, face to face with the ocean's spray. Joyful, joyful, joyful, as only dogs know how to be happy with only the autonomy of their shameless spirit. There are no good-byes for my dog who has died, and we don't now and never did lie to each other. So now he's gone and I buried him, and that's all there is to it.

I became a criminal when I fell in love. Before that I was a waitress. I didn't want to go to Chicago with you. I wanted to marry you, I wanted Your wife to suffer. I wanted her life to be like a play In which all the parts are sad parts. Does a good person Think this way? I deserve Credit for my courage-- I sat in the dark on your front porch. Everything was clear to me: If your wife wouldn't let you go That proved she didn't love you. If she loved you Wouldn't she want you to be happy? I think now If I felt less I would be A better person. I was A good waitress. I could carry eight drinks. I used to tell you my dreams. Last night I saw a woman sitting in a dark bus-- In the dream, she's weeping, the bus she's on Is moving away. With one hand She's waving; the other strokes An egg carton full of babies. The dream doesn't rescue the maiden.

the flowers were blooming so were you your eyes were glowing so were mine waving deserts drank water from the river danced through the grass you led me closer with just a single glance the sweetest taste strongest desire i've never dreamed of it whispered in chemical symbols something i've never heard of there was a lot to learn but time wasn't at our side i saw right through the eyes fearful when wish to fight despite it all we continue on fools in a glimpse of paradise you saw right through the eyes let go when wish to hold on it was okay while the petals covered it was insane to control the uncontrolled but the flowers were still blooming the scent of lights and waters blue to green i found myself longing for you for summer before it wilted away forever before you slipped away forever

summer scent
The other day while driving down       a winding country road, I passed a house that took me back      to days so long ago. The shaded porch, the hanging swing,      the oak trees standing guard, The carefully tended flower beds,      the wide expanse of yard, The big ol' wooden rocking chairs      where a soul could sit and drowse, Made me recall so clearly,      time spent at Grandma's house. Grandma's house was always open      to all who happened by. Kith and kin or long-lost friend      were met with a welcome cry. "Come, sit and eat, we'll set another place,      there's always room for one more". And when you left you could look back and see her,      still waving from the open door. Many years have passed, the family is scattered,      And that house is no longer home. But whenever I should happen to pass,      the feeling still comes so strong. That I should stop and visit a while      and a secret or two we'll share. And then on its heels comes the knowledge,      that Grandma's no longer there. All that's left are fond memories      that all of us grandkids have, That we can recall so clearly,       time spent at Grandma's house.

We perpetuate heartbreak culture, teaching girls the man who holds her loves her despite the bruises, or it was her fault; she looked older. We fetishes shoulders, prize youth from the young in return for pre-chewed gum, swallowing down the same tired ideals from those who still wield them like flags, waving their patriotism on poles of bone before a throne of medieval ******** They chant mantras with beer stained breath about how 'our' country 'bested' the rest, but what about the brutality? The blood split on foreign soil in return for prehistoric oil? Our land is deemed pure so long as the violence on our hands never reaches our shores, but the ocean is red and staining our sands. How can you have pride in a country who's sole identity is based off having the worlds largest navy? Congratulations. You bombed your way through countless continents, collecting cultures to gather dust on pedestals and alters We sin on Sundays, drink till we're ****** then wave at the seven deadly's (they don't apply to us here). We teach preschoolers nationalism before they can walk, indoctrinate our children before they can talk. George killed the dragon. Hood gave to the poor. we all jumped on the bandwagon before we realised the princess had no choice and the rich still ruled. There was no voice in the tale for those whose wail could be ignored. What about those without lines in the script? Those kicked to the curb, then kicked from it? Our pavements have no room for nonconformists, they're tailored to for same mind, same mindless wanderer, squandering on the lasted polyesters even though that mouth on the street hasn't eaten in over a week. 'God save the Queen' from the vermin; the homeless have been tossed out of the trash. Why help them when you could save your cash by turning a blind? After all, out of sight, out of mind. Welcome to England, we hope you like what you find Because we’re not changing it.

The first thing I saw early this morning When I pulled back the light green curtains Was a hectic blue 'n orange butterfly Waving in the fair sun of my garden - Between the enclosed well and the laurel tree. On the red radiant sidewalk, Two damsels strutted together; A turquoise skirt wore the one, A chocolate T-shirt the other. Jubilant they were together, As the cadence of their laughter Waved in the air like Tunisian silk. No harvest did my screen display today, No mountain range did loom far in the distance; All that was shown were a laughing sidewalk, And a quivering sun in a small garden.

The Window
He came to Jerusalem mounted on a donkey People went out to meet him, Waving the palm branches they bring And hailed him as their king. Yet, people don’t know the sorrow The coming week would bring Soon, Glad acclaimed will give away, To jeers and mockery. In God’s redemption plan, He’d be condemn to a cross on cavalry But he knew that he was a sacrificial lamb To die for the sins of man in misery. Today is the day when Jesus will passed Give praise to son of God, Shout the benediction of his name From the sky and to the sod; Hosanna to the Highest!

related to childhood emotional abuse or neglect... not to be confused with derealization or 'fantasy prone personality' maladaptive daydreaming is seeing your face when I fall asleep at night or hearing your voice in a children's store "Come look! Look at these shoes!", and seeing you scramble at a pair of sandals Big brown eyes begging me to buy them as "an early birthday present, just this once." Maladaptive daydreaming is blinking and not even having time to register the fact that you'd disappeared and I was standing alone in the children's shoe aisle, on my knees holding a pair of sandals and feeling that same twist in my gut that I did on the day the papers were signed and my passport was stamped, to get on a plane to another country without so much as waving goodbye Maladaptive daydreaming is crying through anti-abortion rhetoric and sympathising with teenage mothers it's seeing you smile behind a nikon camera, calling "Look at this pretty picture I took! See, see?" and then realising that I was only smiling at a fallen camera in the sand Maladaptive daydreaming is regretting a choice I didn't make it's steeling my jaw at immature jokes and relating to all those children raising children Maladaptive daydreaming is regretting giving up a daughter I never had

maladaptive daydreaming
I hold your life inside my own as you hold me in your sea of seeds and waving reeds Beach grass on breast of sand Ripples of wind Across my dune drifts... your hand Tracing the mark of a high tide with my wanderings Will I be the last? to recall its highest reach upon the land? I note the smell of dead and ebb Would change it all on my return if it were up to me And once I started running out “Wait! O, Wait!” Black breaks The sand bars between the tide pool’s red whispers of you I now believe gulls turn time in their wings

Sunset Apology
What we have named Fire Escape (an ordered, angular tangle of ladders and rail) had made picture geometries in my west window well-framed and flat--set foreground and background in two dimensions, as the sun hid, and my round eye opened. What we have named Fire Escape was flaked-paint brown orange, as if first it had been born of a flame and then had taken up living as metal-- tempered itself into usefulness, which I should trust now, in case of the yelling and the engines. What we have named Fire Escape was happy Jungle Jim or Jungle for Jane for the sparrows I saw this morning which flitted and wildly played within, rising up arched and back again. Made of the square pairs of ladder rungs-- a tunnel entrance or ducking posts, or highway bridges to clear; the birds like small plane, daredevil pilots each following each, going under. No sparrow would ever crash. And what is this I remember now? How one bird eased its engine and perched there to stay? As if to offer me, with a little turn of head gesture-- a thank you, for the bread I'd left on the sill? Or to say I'd better shut the curtain and make my exit? Either prideful guess gets me nowhere fast. Failed even is speaking in any sparrow languages from my recline stuffed chair; again, but now imagined, to draw beady eyes to fix on me, telling me much less. That morning, with the very last sparrow gone, I remember that nothing in my sight moved, save an American flag at a distance in the wind, with its one red-white striped wing waving toward the cold north, as the white church spire, framed in open quadrilaterals, held its position.

*our hands are like flowers eaten by a fox we cut off our clothes to make room for these words and disguised our souls in nothing feelings suspended we rear-ended the world stood upon bridges waving at girls shreds of starlight reflect the falling carriages sadness and birth are beyond your marriages same story told throughout the eons our personal feelings are diluted in the sea just as we could no longer hold on our shadows found the ground and we floated down to safety*

See the emblem waving Proudly, touted in the sky. We walk among our brethren. We recourse, resource the reason why. All, in trepidation... We cry out for separation. Could it be our own downfall, Equality, but not for all - But, not for all? Citizens of the nation, Before humanitarians, First comes clicks of locking doors. Equality does not endure. A man of any land should be my brother. The whole earth, to us, our mother. Could it be our own downfall, Equality, but not for all - But, not for all? See the burden being carried High upon laden backs, Tautly stretched, with shoulders bending. Each fear the other will attack. The words have been the same, But for intent that's not their own. For too long, have we been believed. Equality is just for some - Is just for some. Freedom is only for the free. The lines that keep the captives buckling, The doors that keep them let them go. They have no where to escape. Always there is tyranny For the landless refugee. He is no man as worthy as you. Equality is just for some - Is just for some. All the lessons that teach us to love The home of brave and free Are based on notions that could not be true, If all are not the same as you. And, are they not the same as we, Who are decorating for our holidays. Living in our plentitude, Singing songs of charity and caring - Charity and Caring? Gifts are given and received. Do we remember the lessons taught About the kind of men we are, When another is in need? Do they not rate the same concern As the presents and the tree, As we pray in  Holy Spirit, Singing songs of charity and caring - Charity and caring? See the emblem waving Proudly, touted in the sky. We walk among our brethren. We recourse, resource the reason why. All, in trepidation... We cry out for separation. Could it be our own downfall, Equality, but not for all - But, not for all?

Oh sunset, your aura still lingers, A charming shade across the sky, A perfect watercolor painting, The first sign of day waving goodbye. Oh sunset, you're so beautiful, Your colors paint the air, Flashes of the brightest hues, You leave traces everywhere. Oh sunset, how you grin, With such a cheerful light, Your lovely warmth is always, An unexpected delight. Oh sunset how you have lit my path, Tolerated my blurry tears, You're a familiar place, where I've loved and lost, But still you remain, despite the cruel years. Oh sunset, now you're dancing, Alive, and carelessly free, Sunset im feeling jealous, Oh I wish that could be me. Oh sunset, how fleeting, mysterious, You never do stay for long, Just enough moments to make me realize, What in my life is so very wrong. Oh sunset I despise your tricks, The way you flirt with the sky, I am not as easily deceived, I see right through your lie. Oh sunset i see youre wilting, but please don't go just yet, I need your flimsy arms to hold me, and im scared i will forget. Oh sunset, you fade, silent as always, A trickle of fear touches my heart, A sliver of doubt is all that I need, To tear this beauty apart. Oh sunset, you smile, wink, just play, Deciding it's time to make haste, So gone is the promise of comfort and love, All hopes, all dreams; a silly waste. The treetops aloft are golden, but shadows are closing in, Oh sunset i would love you more, If you werent so weak, such a coward, a fool, To  let the darkness win.

At the end of night she bathes in light, We tussle in the warmth of morning, The blankets and she are of sea foam And found shells, whispering lost ocean  Words.  Our bed is a raft, drifting aloft, The coffee is brewing with mellow sun, Her smiles, filling my silly, giddy mug. Soon, we walk to the pebbled beach, Her hair is waving at the friendly seas,  Gulls are circling in the moving skies Reeling with the slow, slipping tides And I skip stones with her as our feet  Sink in the milk of morning sands— Must we be off to Dublin town?

Morning Interrupted
in the dark compass spinning wanton wind howling, wailing brittle arms in concert waving emerald waters whipped and raging sky crushed velvet sequins sewn tight to the shattered span of night a million times each time as new with stardust eyes with gratitude
