hair
 Apr 2013 Zachary Usie

ripping out my follicles, locks of reprehensible

dead skin cells all arranged in a melodramatic pattern

we vacuously decided to name ‘hair’

that is what poetry is

plucking apart your DNA

the sting you feel which quickly resides

into your subconscious

and in your palms sits a golden shimmer

a small part of your whole

But within that microscopic faction

lays a traumatic story

of where you have been

and why you ripped your hair out

in the first ******* place

and sometimes, when the day is too hot

and eggs are cooking on sidewalks

melted popsicle residue on your fingers

a small melodic voice behind your ear

will whisper

“tear it all out”

and sometimes we listen

I think once we begin to obey the commands

from a disembodied voice

we begin to self destruct

with all our precious curls writhing on the ground

but that’s what you need to sacrifice

if you want to write your *******

heart out

your sanity for your poetry

your hair for relief from the heat

an eye for an eye,

if you will

I'll reach that midnight train first
A surreal journey, too uncanny
Wonder how the heck I got here
All *******, yet sought release . . . .

So many passages, so many trails
I follow you down every ambiguous path
Oh dear, will I get lost in this?
In which warren will I find you hiding?

I tie tape across your red mouth
Make you walk an unsteady plank
Across a deep chasm of unknown
Don't slip now or dare scream out!

In glass, reflected in the sun
You look at me and smile oh-so sweet
But refracted light splits up and breaks
Now you think I'm someone else . . . .

Am getting off this Roundabout
Too draining for my psyche
Ah, shoulda figured the universe owes me
A massive kick in the teeth, alas!

You're makin' jam, and I'm so nuts 'bout you
We are sandwiched together, just you and me
But small consolation prize....is all you see
Bicycle has TWO wheels, for a reason!

You want me to stop.
As you stand, hands tied behind your back.
As i stand so so close to you, would you look away . . . .
Would you want me to stop?   Ok. I'll stop . . . . no, please!

Shhh, now now....easy now....hush, baby
Think I'll stuff yer ******* into your mouth
And fire away the ready rockets inside you
Come, baby....please feel what's in my pocket . . . .

See through the window of your soul
Don't fret now, I won't judge at all
Come closer, let me feel your heat
You're giving just what I need right now.

I'm making you feel all kindsa things
Yet you fear to utter what they are
So scared you are, I wonder why
Oi, no running in the hallways here!

Clouds at last, I see you now
Oh, the pretty pictures that you paint
On the waiting canvass of my thoughts
In such bright and vivid repartee.

Can you feel me, baby? Here I am...
Heavy love hanging in the late hours
Feel me now...I know you can feel me
Slide my sword into your sheath . . . .

See you peep still through the window of my mind
Nose pressed against the glass
Lucky to live half a lifetime in an afternoon
We leave soft, grey messages in the sand.

Still wonder how we ever got here
You're so open and so giving
Loved ones often kick a gift horse down
They see not wonders of the gem, all hid.

So, I have a thing I want to know
Now, what is it you really want?
Cos, you were once in love; so deeply fooled
Carried away by reflections in a glass . . . .

A kiss
A hug
a touch
What do they all mean?
They don't mean anything,
you give them meaning.
They are feelings expressed through
finger tips
lips
bodies.
Be there when it happens,
the face of a man coming close
to You.
I giggled,
you might too.
But even after the excitement
and the shared glance and curling of a smile.
When all the blood
rushes to your Heart,
and shocks your toes.
It still has no definition,
no defining meaning behind it.
It is something to be
felt
expressed
and understood
But how can one understand
something the is so far from understanding
that you feel it in your finger nails?
You can't,
you must simply open up to the
Experience
Be there,
don't think about anything else,
Simply Be....

isn't that what we agreed upon?
