I am ogre,
I am damsel,
I am heroine in tell,
I am she,
I am he,
I am we,
they,
us,
as well.
I am you
I am me
I am everything imagined,
for the time,
it takes to write,
the stories that I fashion.

my
poet’s
plume
is gilded
thrilling quill
I write with
/ tilted /
–convoluted
& conceited
insecure
& prone to bleedin’
–it’s been branded
& bedazzled
–brushed with air
&
moussed & frazzled
–buffed up nicely
–thricely plated
–dipped in silver
–stamped & rated
–full of molten
~veins~
–of plat’num
–such a pen
I’m glad I’ve got one!

where does the “oy”
and “me”
in US go?
there’s a U
and an S
which is not apropos
since S
never featured
in
you
I
or
we,
but multiplies number
of U’s
by decree
N so,
N conclusion
>after hours of study<
those MIA characters
R closer to MO-n-EY.

Woe
August 27, 2014 Comments Off on Woe
woebegone’s
a funny word
it seems more like directive
what the depressed
might well request
of trouble to correct it
but woebegone
means woe•be•there
at least it does on paper
though Obi Wan
Kenobi’s woes
are flavored more Darth Vader.

Scrapbook Eyes

essential as air
hot as solar flare
nuclear as fusion–
–your gaze
seeps elemental
power no container
can fully contain
–your lids
half-composing
half-eclipsing
lightning
& northern lights
—your eyes
guides in the Night
seismic currents
no quaking earth
withstands
–nor wants to…
Part moth,
part phoenix,
part Icarus,
Eye
impel
to their autumn fire.

U say Windows → I say…Curtains!
August 27, 2014 Comments Off on U say Windows → I say…Curtains!
Guise & Urls,
in webbish world,
is widely de rigeuer…
a jacket donned,
for prose & drawn,
for streamed-up caricature…
It’s good TV–
like news that bleeds,
like natural disaster,
’cause status quo
is just so slow,
and Internet is faster.
yes, Guise & Doss
are sugar floss
are airbrushed bytes
e-lucid’
a sweet that melts
unreal * unfelt
a Brand-o bettor muted…
It’s Vegas hair
piled up to
^there^
it’s meming, miming boxes–
to bump 2D,
3D extreme,
a circumvent, but pompous…

waves stem from world’s core
gather, pulse & crest
scattering to know the shore
~
complexity no more–
the one, dispersed & separate
waves stem from world’s core
~
–a spinning molten ore
–a chaos measureless
scattering to know the shore
~
reach, recede, re’curr
in’ pact harmonious
waves stem from world’s core
~
an affinity of yore
in infinity, so blessed
scattering to know the shore
~
is Nature in full force
is Nature at its best
waves stem from world’s core
scattering to know the shore
