INGRATITUDE

by Bhaskaranand Jha
INGRATITUDE
 
Sleeping on bed
Her head on my chest
And under my dimpled chin
With my thoughts looking at the future!
 
Pangs of ailing body
Eyesight dimmed and loss of the ears
Stammering tongues clutched by Alzheimer’s
Cramping legs, staggering steps to the grave!
 
While in prime time
Thanks to our youth and the lap
That paved the way for them to see the world
But those reared and cared by us
Left us loitering in the lurch
When our body smeared with pus!!!

Cosmic Orgasm

by Bhaskaranand Jha
CosmicOrgasm
 
Interplay between
Love and lust
Sweet and subtle
A fair sexes’ bust
Strengthens the immense pillar of humanity.
 
Fear of carnal sins
Relishing macho force
Seeming hesitation
Avoiding intercourse
Invites the shooting arrow of Lord Cupid.
 
Initial inhibition gone
Lust heat gone rusty
Emotion’s ejaculation
Into the earthly cave
Sprouts the seed of a new life in the world.
 
Struggle of the newborn
In the battlefield of life
Competing with the self
For the earthly survival
Refines and purifies the heart of all gross desires.

If you be my valentine

by vivekanand Jha

 
 
Though I don’t have
To give you a gold coin
But I have an open
Heart of mine
Though I couldn’t become
Shakespeare or Einstein
But I would never say
You a byline
If you be my valentine.
 
Though I meet with
So many girls clandestine
I drink bear, wine and cocaine
I watch pornography online
I would leave
All acts of libertine
If you be my valentine.
 
Though I like to live
In a family combine
So far I have followed
Parents and elders’ guidelines
Parents have been so far
For me an enshrine
But I would leave them
In the state of pains and repine
Not only that, every night
I would offer you compline
And I would serve you
Like a bovine
If you be my valentine.
 
Though I don’t afford
To travel by airline
My income doesn’t allow
In five star hotel to dine
I have no good house
But only ravine

Happy! Happy! New Year

by vivekanand Jha

 
Happy! Happy! New Year
Enjoy without fret and fear
Drive yourself in top gear
Make even your foe dear
Hug your friends who are near.
 
 
This year shouldn’t have any peer
Colour of ecstasy is to smear
We should tolerate and bear:
If unwarranted things hear
Enjoy reading Shakespeare’s King Lear.
 
 
 This day comes in year bare
Forget the life’s wear and tear
Don’t be lonely and despair
Enjoy with family and in pair.
 
 
Take part in picnic and fair
Jokes and bantering are to share
In the temple offer prayer.
 
 
It is the occasion rare
After digging the 365 layers
Wish to all for cure and care.
 
 
 Not to kill decency and demeanour
But to kill sin and sinner
Not stand and stare at the river
But to be an adept diver
For the needy be depriver.

Hands Heave to Harm and Hamper

by vivekanand Jha

 
 
Our hands  heave
To harm and hamper,
Not to help and heal.
 
Not to assist
The damsel in distress
Instead feel refresh
In molesting mistress.
 
Not to weaken
The woes of widows
But apt to weaken
Their only credos.
 
Not to stop
The rape
But we are top
In viewing the naked tape.
 
We have destitution
In deleting the prostitution
But we are to the fore
In bargaining the whore.
 
Not to prohibit
The child labour
But not hesitate to inhibit
Their favour.
 
Not to curb
The poverty
But ready to disturb
The Poor’s liberty.
 
We use stick
To persecute the weak
We use flower
To adorn the tower.
 
Not to ameliorate
Law and order
But not fret to generate
Chaos and disorder.
 
We have temptation
To incur evil reputation
But we have...

Movie Review: It Might Get Loud

by Arminius Von
 
If you're a guitar player or a fan of The White Stripes, U2 or Led Zeppelin, see this movie.  It's not as good as I expected, but it got me into some serious RawkLand for a good hour and half.  The chinema spends far too much time rehashing the bands' formations.  Aside from a few cool insights (Page STILL speaks about music in terms of art/school-light/dark composition), you're not going to hear anything about their pasts that you couldn't find on wikipedia.   It would have been a much better movie with an increased focus on varying approaches to songwriting, or even filosophies of rawk, if we dare ...

The dynamic plays out like some reality show (Rawk Island!  Who will be the last to leave?)  Most times, the three interact awkwardly like distant family members who are supposed to give a shit about each other but somehow can't manage anything more than an awkward A-frame hug.  Perhaps this is a reflection of their respective places...

Jagged Black Hills

by David Wright
 
No dead white pages.
No, nothing came for.
 
An archer, or an anklet axed,
Tiny pieces of micro dust coming through the single pixel of today.
 
A dumb robot.
A caliber too small.
 
Daffodils, The Rosary :
Twin helix APR, We are coming for your souls.
 
Step back. Jump Forward.
It’s all time Rock ~n~ Roll [ . ]
 
I’m really disarmed by your not knowing better : 
In an Everyghost battery smash it’s old-time assault and the most fire to spill.

Cattleprod

by Caribou Slim
Bought some magick last night
as the moon jumped over the cow
laughing at the venomless scar
Scorpion left in my arm
See, I'm a good friend of Fox
and treachery revealed
makes for easy navigation
even in stormy seas

Thought and Memory met me on the road this morning
as I swept silver in my wake
racing starlings
and twisting wheels
can you breathe me?
the thought giggles electric
sparking
laughing static
shocking me
as I shop for apples
and strawberries

A man becomes an institution
in the latter half of life
I've built myself from the stones
the Chinese left as winding walls
through the pastures
trellised myself 
in wild grape vines
rooted my foundation in oak
wiresteel frame
89 octane
windpowered hybrid
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

too early
blurring the box
for the lines of desire
should be sweeping curves
and cascading ringlets

Splinters

by Sandy Ah
Its nights like tonight that I waste, walking down streets that are no longer my home and waiting outside of a house that is no longer yours. I've spent the past few months looking for a place to rest my tired legs, sore from the burdens they've carried and they always lead me here. I may never find you again, but the thought of you is home. It is the only certainty I have, for we were not a product of genetics or predisposition; we were a perfect sum of you and I. No variables. No lies. No doubt. Simply the gaze of your eyes locked on mine, waiting for a beautiful awakening we cheated ourselves out of. A seemingly endless summer that we were sure would tumble into an endless autumn erupted in a cacophonous explosion, leaving you and I forever splintered and fractured. There were no explanations or conclusions; only shrapnel left in every breath of air in this town, serving as a constant reminder of what was and could have been, but isn't. I stand now, teetering at the edge of...

un-singularity

by David Wright
the absence is wherefore
I found the passenger,
roads our topographic genesis

 
wilted to know one and another ends.

 
So then, it's here been written,
the snake stands up forgiven,
the buffalo grows wings, again,
and the blood speaks reason.
 
the games are never over, 
just opinions less memorable. 


Sturnus Reverto

by Caribou Slim
Remember
the birth
of December?

the starlings pouring in over the hills
those days when we'd sprawl
across the top of Tilting Rock
counting seconds 
as they blackened the sky
minute after minute
of clouds
of fluttering calls and chirps and trills
of tiny swooping black bodies
hurtling through the wraith cold sky
sweeping down to feast on the grapes
left rotting on the vine

Orion gave me a silver bullet
even as Scorpio chased him
from Bangkok to New York
strangely enough, he had no idea I'd been bitten
but today I shot it through the vineyards
rode it purring beneath my feet
racing the starbirds as they tumbled through the air
and found the beast receding

and thug, 
swung low on the Cambodian mud
brought a baby dragon for my buddha
down from Shangri-La 
He perches on the south window
basking in the cascading light
as the sun rises through red-gold leaves
over the...

ESCAPE

by Cooper Williams

 
Comments greatly appreciated.

Fall

by Caribou Slim
 
welcome to the waning of the harvest moon
we're beginning our descent now
time runs faster as the dark grows longer
life measured out
in rabbit heartbeats
shivering in the snowshoe fields
tiny muscle
drumming
beating back the silent cold
 
 
november is wrapped in her traditional robes
of razorwire and wet autumn leaves
bone and rust
newts nest like coiled black drakes
in rotting logs
and the stags slice the fingers of fog
with their crowned antlers
 
 
this is the time 
to walk with the ghosts
you couldn't bury by halloween
to fall into the void
of distance
of love's memory 
and to remember
what whispers in fall 
sings in spring


and to listen
 
as the world
...sighs...
this too will pass

Cupidity

by Caribou Slim
Could you dream me a river today? 
The mountaintops are wrapped in autmn
and the harvest lays as rows of golden chains
and burgundy leaves
cast across the valley floor
fat purple bunches hung
and dark with swollen nectar 
A message in a bottle
Eyes that stutter the heart
that you could exist
renders breath impossible
Too bright for possibility
the unwound anticipation
curled like a scorpion tail
ready to poison possibility
with haste

Next month, I'll face the south when the cold comes
Faithless hope
in the end of winter, Texas
Bacchus is well bound here
in the moss and rain
and fog wrapped cliffs
woven into smoke and spirits
tending a faithless hearth
spitting his unwanted seed
into the mud
Could you catch a comet tonight?
Of course, there's no cure for the common comet
spaceball twirling mad
tumbling icicles
in my twisting wake
as I richocet
around the walls of my...

Repast

by David Wright
 
The Brave say things. 
The Brave action-think things.
The Brave stand under the tops of things. 
Home really is just a word. 
 
Words may fail, betray things, or steal away tied tight conceptions of rights, privileges and sugary entree;
The Brave brave slippery crushed margins to kiss just thugs.

The Brave deliver a centre to shop from.
The Brave, too, must eat some thing.

 

Holy Roller

by Caribou Slim
There are certain secrets of sacrifice available
at discount prices
Love like air
in the wake of a bullet
Kiss like mist
traceless effervescence
Never break your stride in a minefield
Don't laugh at Roman disapproval
And yes, it's bad form to wink 
while on the cross  
Walk as a man for awhile
but don't forget how to fly
even when they've driven nails in your feet
and your wings are a trophy
on her mantlepiece 
Pour the world's rage and sorrow
down your throat
get drunk on hate and death
till you open your eyes to a world of knives
And as they begin to cut
joyously 
sing

the hungry i

by Caribou Slim
raven roadkill unzipped and tripped till the third eye is bleeding
you got the stares on you
feathers tangled and blood slick black
still got that crow cackle in the bloodshot eye 

ain't got no use for broken wings
or tears for lost skies
got nothin' but the hungry i
skipping broken toes down the highway

change jangles in the pocket like jail keys
Houdini's hamster has nothing on me
can't even see the asphalt in front of me
dancing with the traffic by feel

crowing for the world to hear
and laugh in terror
at my indomitable delicacy
and snaphollow bones
 
o how the spark
...makes us twirl and dervish
......our shattered skulls
.........epileptic marionettes
............singing shadowplay operatic
...............as the audience winds up
............hands tight on the Louisville slugger
.........ready for their pretty
......howling

money

there comes a point
where the desire for money

you can
always find
free entertainment
and novelty

Absence/RoadHouse of the Desert Moon

by unLiz unGilbert
Hi all  I'm still not sure how to use this site re: posting this to the Cauldron or? But, I love all of you and want to keep sharing progress
on work I'm doing.  This is opening to Part 2 of the Trilogy I'm working on (Part 1 The Dirt) which seems to be morphing into some kind of opera or performance work (Roger Waters move on over LOL!). Part 2  is called RoadHouse of the Desert Moon.  This song/sonic landscape is called Absence.
It is about to be torn apart and re-done,but thought I'd share this and then the next version when it arrives....I'm doing everything. The low bass tracks are a combo of the huge rusted fuel tank in the studio here (hit with mallet),an oxygen tank bell, a sample of bus door opening & closing,bowed fretless bass,electric bass,vox,various percussion samples used as triggers (some from building,some digital)....

It costs too much to spend

by David Wright
 
 
                              Getting just what I wanted,
I'll not ask for more. 
                                               It's a crime to think I could have had it all.
 
                          Don't bother with the tabulation, retribution, penances keys.
     DO scrimp and fight and kick and swallow in order to CHANGE. 
 
I could have had myself to myself; instead, I got blessed by mother's virtuous, blind luck.
 
                                                              It's been called damnable not to love your own bones. 
                                                              It's so fancy to think we can heal from what we have done.
And it's true.

What things are and what they're not

by Caribou Slim
So. I spent a great deal of my twenties unhappy. My life was consistently unfulfilled, despite the fact that I had great prospects, a wildly fun time, and many beautiful people who chose to grace my sad little depressed emo brain with love. 

I was constantly looking at what things weren't. My lover wasn't right because s/he didn't love me enough, or wasn't exciting enough, or wasn't smart enough. Same thing with every element of my life - jobs, my writing, my friends. Something was always not quite right and had to be fixed.

Because of this, I was a real ass to be around. Even became a bit of a bitter control freak for the bad periods. 

Well, a few years ago, I was working at an art center in Portland, trying to get it up and running, and I was eating lunch with my friend out in the front. All of a sudden we hear a screech and a thud, and a huge red SUV rolls up onto the sidewalk and into the parked cars. 

The driver was groggily getting out...

13 Whispers

by Caribou Slim
- Life is a toy for the soul to laugh into song  
- All we know of the world is the map our cartographic cerebellum has stitched together from myth and happenstance
- Never confuse the map with the territory
- Never eat kangaroo in Paris
- Never listen to never
- Rhythm is why rhyme exists
- Reason is why rhythm exists
- Rhyme is why reason exists
- If you can move through each moment with love, your soul will never go hungry
- God is out sick this millennium and we're all filling in for her
- A beating heart is better than a bleeding one
- Fallen angels make better friends, once they've hit the ground, but one should always avoid falling angels. And rising devils, for that matter.
- If you can't laugh, you're already lost

Broken Breakers

by David Wright
Some times, they are bugs.
 
Other times, I am bug.
 
There is no safety in approximation.
 
It can feel Socratic to believe eminence, but really, I think, we are singular narrations interacting with other singularities within nonsingular breaths and visions.
 
Society becomes you. The consortium of blood continues.
 
Perhaps to desire expects too much by way of explanation?
 
It can feel better to think that there are efficient, relevant, or abysmal some-things to say.
 
But then, some days, it hurts to have to say anything.
It hurts to move to measure the thickness of our separation.
It hurts to have heart enough to feel compassion for the pains not picking at the insides.
 
It hurts to hurt, and to see pain recede through the ages of my eyes.
 
Repetition can bring security until we cannot stand to play, any longer, a constant.
 
It is at then that I have formally understood to...

Writ Attire

by David Wright
 
The pink lion had towed himself to the ice cream shop, an ominous thorn lodged imaginably between his favorable thumb and his agitated physiognomy, whereby he placed an order for half-a-trillion full tons of shrimp cocktail and an Atlantic ocean sized glass of sun-tempered mescal.
 
With the correct colored lenses, a creature that size can magnify most anything using the bottoms of broken-off bottles previously smashed over the pipes.
 
It is said that in order to be enlightened we must eliminate concepts of duality.
 
In many respects it is the blue lion that has allowed the pink lion to assume kingship in a world of impermanence. This same blue lion was born of a golden aged heaven, has since taken residence in the postmodern pasture, and whiles about its ambiguous days encased inside an unending, seemingly continent sized, chain linked fence.
 
The turquoise dragon had preoccupied itself with such captivity for eons until it...

Having trouble posting accompanying photograph or the mp3 file directly here. I like to work this way sometimes. Hang a microphone down

Working on a trilogy (audio recording/video...the works) called The Dirt. This is my first post to wildpoets and sorry to have been so long in putting something here. Hello to David Lee Wright.
Some words from a song I'm working on right now:
 
Idling
using up a little gas
quiet listening to
voices of all the vanished
a vanishing woman
ghostdog woman
leave me in slow motion
idling  like a volcano building
pressure in the earth
try to think of all those lists I threw away
to put off today
like a burro  won't go
one inch further on the trail
can't lead me to water not that way

For Arianna, two Adams, and both Alexanders

by David Wright
Keep smiling. It's the smile that reminds us
The reality of gestures, thoughts and words.

 
Wind as friend is a beautiful dream to behold.
 
And when the wind is strong, and not a friend,
 
So too are the cliffs below to except us. The keys
 
To the end are the everyday smiling breaths of God.
 
For God knows not the ending of the smiling visage.
 
Regardless of hardship, through the fire, the warmth,
 
A gentle, breathing spelling light, alphabetical in smiles.
 
 
 
 

Opened Ended Duluge

by David Wright
 Deluge ! Deluge,
 Stand aside !

 Room to breathe.
 
 Awake, awake !

 Come home, Come
 Home, come home. 

 
 Her dimmed chime brought me down,
 Pentagram flippant, consoling Christ.
 
 Lovely. Lovely. Languid asp's tongue,

 Crashed sun-downed and ripped-awake.
 
 The mountain breathed his flecks, his red skin,
 Escaped explanation, Mimesis of curtan's call. 
 
 To bottle
 To bed. To
 Tomorrow to 
 Timber her tree. 
 
 I'm watching the fire :

 It's spread. I'm swimming
 Rivers of morph-angelic dust :

 Goodnight, go wherewithal. 

 

 
 
 
 


The American Why

by Caribou Slim
So, it seems like I'm deluged with Europeans lately, and sooner or later, the conversation starts hitting familiar questions.
1) Why are Americans so patriotic?
2) Why are Americans so stupid?
3) Why are Americans always at war?
Since I don't like repeating myself, I decided to write my theory here so I can just give them a hyperlink and go back to pixie hunting.
 
Ok, in Europe, regardless of where in Europe you grew up, you're growing up in a country that has an established history, unique language, and generally a single religious institution providing spiritual instruction to the populace. In other words, you're coming from what is essentially a unified cultural paradigm, despite recent waves of immigration.
In America, we don't have a unified cultural paradigm. We have literally hundreds of displaced micro-cultures that hold fading fragments of their origin. Unlike in Europe, these micro-cultures do not have designated territories, and as such, are...

An Old Day of A Live Night

by John E WordSlinger

I've fallen into a question of cause
I've fallen in love
I hate waking the spirit in sleep
missing the event of a kiss
I hear the breath of the past
I feel it in the breeze
Knowing no stategies
it passes through the trees
The moon is my friend
The night sky was meant for me
I love to whistle to the thin clouds in the breeze
When I'm with you
I drift into another light
I can see far, faraway
into this live night

A Citizen Returns - An Introduction and Complimentary Analysis

by Charles Foster Kane
After a long absence from the media world, I've selected this "website" (in particular, your Bukowski Stew, where comments on this work will go) as venue to allow you to access my writings. I'm sure you'll find them not only enlightening, but erudite and enjoyable as well.

While I have little respect for pock-marked drunks, and even less for stew, given the rather calamitous effect my return would have upon the press of this country, I believe that the Stew will be a suitable venue for me to grace you with my insight. After all, it's well known that pseudonyms of dubious character frequent this place, and I feel that I can "hide in plain sight" among the conversations of fictional characters.

After all, due to a rather strange turn of events, it seems that most people these days are convinced that I'm a fictional character.
Given my long coma, I've yet to truly master the technological and culture changes that have played out in my absence, so I'm unclear as to...

Her Candy Striped Lips

by David Wright
 
 
I wanted something to eat.
So, I ate the bottom up under the Arkansas,
The river of the afterlife, starlit, sole night-shot pink and blue
Expositions.
 
A damned, dirty, misspoken sense of self lying all over and over again.
 
Pause. Here, for a moment, Please :
 
Wait.
 
Let me explain, if you would.

The Monster Under the Bed

by N. Gee
 
    I was babysitting my little sister, a chore which I was relegated to once every other weekend or so, and one for which I was paid and therefore did not complain too much about. My sister was 5 then, and was super-humanely muscular and strong for her age, and had just learned the “This is the Song that Never Ends” song from Lambchop. Despite these quirks, she was cute - though I would never admit it unless, perhaps, you put some sort of gun to my head and demand to know the truth.
    I was, myself, around 10-years-old and perhaps a bit young to be babysitting, but I was relatively mature for my age and my parents were only out for a little while. Confused by a Campbell’s label, I had just fed my sister what I thought to be a cheese soup for dinner, but what was actually cheese dip for nachos. She complained a little, but I told her to eat her soup and drink her milk, because that’s what parents tell their children on the...

Respite

by Scott Eaton
Sometimes

I like to sit back
and watch the sky fall:

the afternoon lullaby
of nearby traffic

playing with the laughter
of neighborhood children;

the dogs barking communiqués
that only empathy understands,

the wind chimes sing
with the slow breeze

as insects crawl thru the bark
looking to escape the sun.

I close my eyes
and lose myself . . .

I feel everything.

All of this.
On a Sunday afternoon.

Michael Jackson?

Why am i so bummed out about mj?
 
is it b/c i listened to Thriller a hundred times when I was in the 4th grade working on my first school newspaper?
is it b/c despite his child molestation i see in him a tortured spirit who created magnificent, undeniably perfect pop?
is it b/c he's a symbol of frustrated intent?
is it b/c i'm saying goodbye to my childhood?
is it b/c he never got a chance at public redemption?
is it b/c he's an evil spirit i want to see turn out better despite the harm he [legal disclaimer: may have] caused, and to witness otherwise upsets my faith in a just universe?
is it b/c he was just, at the end of the day, just too damn young?

The Silver Key

Could it have been the quickest, biggest black cat?
Could we have seen the largest red corvette? Hmm…
 
wiggling seas marshaling a ‘the price is right’ sale.
Oh, you’re so juicy and acoustic, I’ll keep buying hard.
 
Can’t she pay terror-domes by virtue of Ohm’s law? not
Bloody paradigms slathering the coastline into a heap? not
 
waist-high mercury to wade across the end of time,
No. She can’t get freedom gates barred open alone.

His name is not Patrick. That is all the name that I feel is needed to name.
 
X killed the idea of idealism for emotive sake. It was understood that keeping up with the rigorous demands of communal life, in a 21st Century megalopolis, meant the necessity of learning to fly gasoline powered automobiles. X always dialed his land line phone with voice activation, even the digital numbers, and especially while driving in the car when on the open channel. It was X who taught me how to turn the rotary telephone in his apartment.
 
That was the easy part.
 
After so long, it was easy to stay out of...

Guns R Us

by Caribou Slim
So, I've been on an excavation project, having resurrected my faithful frankenstein desktop, Kermit. While he takes near twenty minutes to load and long ago lost his shiny green case, his memory is long and strong so I decided to let him get his action on.

See, he remembered back when they started the war, and Thug and I ran around in the protests in San Francisco, and how we got all political because we didn't know what the hell else to do.

One day, we saw a group of very sad women...


 
They were returning their clothes to Old Navy. Unfortunately, Old Navy wasn't accepting returns.
 

 
The women were even more sadder. They decided to try Ross. No luck...



Then, there was a big ruckus.
They said the president was at the park and had something for us all to hear!
Everyone ran quickly to the park...



When we got there, we found him hanging out with Adolus Huxley.

Today's Eye

by David Wright
 
This is the day we have been waiting for. 
 
Today entails long, blindfolded strolls through your neighborhood park in order to avoid the sight of the street nearby. The Eye does its job. You may continue your dream unheeded. The Eye looks into its Eye and requires nothing of its doppelganger Eye peering back. The street is where they have decided to protest their historical social construct, and where they seek their merchants and the circulatory flow of their "body" politic. This information is for the culmination of your dissident awareness only. Beware : what is not spoken from the Eye is irrelevant to your happiness.
 
This is the day we have all been working toward.
 
Today our rights are stricken from knowing. Today our books' faiths have all been banned. The world government, the world school, and the newly acquired world church, have outlawed all so-called “good” books in favor of instructional...

Home hopping bubbles

by David Wright
 
"It's" hops,
Dynamite syndrome. 
A holy opening
Christening the sunken
Boat treasure.
 
We've beer, burnables,
Firewood, too. Sea dancing
Hipsters always standing,
Dead to war. Delusional
Cryptics and tall tale bathyspheres. 
 
"It's" a stuck,
Wiggling spectacle 
Calling the victory gate :

Direction to home abyss,
Please. Lighthouse SOS.

 

Let us recite what History teaches

by Caribou Slim
All bets aside now
The marvelous daring of failure
Lincoln had the heart of a Maori warrior

 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

There is an echo in here
impressed Ms. Stein would be impressed
pretending she's standing dry on the Dover cliffs 
watching waves of time crash against history
Even as she ripples into smooth water

Hello, it's me, I am here

by David Wright
 
Hey... I've missed you. I can't know how to say this, but I must say that you are now lost to the sea that is San Francisco bay. I will calibrate all departures and arrival dates, of course, according to your possible surfacing. And, really, I'm not waiting for you anymore to wake up. 
 
In addition, I will not move anywhere else. That'd be foolish. I will not judge strangers, gorge malcontents, personify mystery. Those days are far behind me now. Not to be confused with left behind or generational offspring.
 
It is right here that I'll be. If you need directions to last night's lifetime : send a post. 
 
Hey... No. Scratch that. 
 
Hi. How have you been? I'm great. This morning I made coffee the way we, you, and I, used to on McCoppin off Valencia. Back before I was ran over and down at Montgomery street. Do you remember how much pain I was in having such extraordinary need?
 
 
Hey, it's me. I am here, in town. How about a drink at...

Daisies

by Silver Girl
Daisys He loves me. Like I have to ask? He loves me not. He’d better not not love me! I’d die. He loves me. No, he doesn’t call me. We talk all the time. He loves me not. He loves what is me, not me not. He loves me. Love is love and that’s what he is. He loves me not. Is there now someone else? He loves me. Phew. I love him. Oh for so long! I love him not. The not me loves not. I love him. I love him constantly. I love him naught. Not else do I love without you. I love him. I’m so glad this is a small daisy.

Linda Falls after the last spring rain

by Caribou Slim
It's been years since I've been to the falls. I found the path overgrown, almost hidden - a good thing. It was late afternoon, and the stream was still flowing smoothly from the rains we had three weeks ago. It was the first time Alael and Mysh had visited. 

There are many stories to tell about the falls, but only a few are believable or sane. If you need context, a great deal of the things that happen in Mag's Dark happened there. Mysh was curious, and  wanted to know the tales, to see for herself. I warned her not to expect too much - after all, we were visiting in daylight. 

We scrambled down the hillside and sat down on the flat limestone floor that makes up the top of the falls. And a note to my dear friend Odd - THERE ARE STILL NO DAMN FISH UP THERE. But I digress. 

The sunlight caught the dancing bugs above us, their wings sparkling like golden diamonds between the lengthening shadows of the forest. I climbed out on to my ledge with a beer...

no fight without light

by Rebecca Thurber
Nightly— in my victory—
I grasp again for the
broad medal,
the justification of this constant struggle.
 
This tortured intellectual toys with words—
confusing the code
for no one to follow.
I am not myself;
indifferent to the world as well.
 
If I am fighting
I am fighting a shadow;
nothing noted,
nothing wanted—
an unintelligible darkness
passing with the sun.
 
Is all there is merely
figments of contrast?
products of enlarged, enlightened thoughts?
 
If there is a cause,
that cause is a phantom;
grappling with self-worth
negotiating with a flickering flame
that debates with survival—
rationalized and unfulfilled.  

Departures

by Caribou Slim
It's been awhile since I've been around, I know. 
Last weekend, I flew to upstate New York to attend the funeral of my Grandmother, who, after 20 years, was finally reunited with my deceased Grandfather.  She had been the matriarch of my father's family, the holder of its history, and its guiding light. 
My Grandfather had grown up in New York before his father started making boilers from the sand dunes outside Michigan City, IN, and had been interned at the family cemetary in Hillsdale. It was my Grandmother's wish to be laid to rest beside him, despite the fact that she had spent most of her life in Indiana.
Nowadays, the family is spread out from California to Texas to Ohio, and we all traveled hundreds (if not thousands) of miles to say goodbye to them. The sad thing about the distance to the grave is that it's unlikely that I'll have the opportunity to visit it again... something we were all aware of.
This was the last goodbye.

The Moment I Leave

by Rebecca Thurber
I am watching the creases and folds of your clothing—
The understandable shadows of fabric:
The safety and mystery of concealed skin.
I am watching them with a scrutinizing eye.
 
Oh- if we had let time freeze outside with us,
When my hands were wrapped in your gloves,
And my fingers enjoyed the knit yarn—
If only they had stayed there!
But we had warmed.
We took off some of the layers we wore.
We left them lying— with us— on the floor,
And I fingered the material of your neckline
And became curious for more.
 
What I found was ecstasy with skin and bone
And sweat that collected in the concave of your collar.
What I found was excitement in friction
And the velocity with which we left and returned to one another.
What I found was further mysteries
In the arches of your feet, underneath your nails—
The darkness behind your eyes and in your throat—
Within handfuls of your hair,
But what a disappointment...

Stick Figures

by Scott Eaton
Playing with nighttime clay,
crafting simulations . . .

Part of me
wants to see the answer book,
the part that spooks
its own shadow;
but the child in me
wants to play,
to cut newspaper clippings
from holiday trash
and dance around the pyres
of conquered fears.

Smile . . .
I like yr smile . . .
Night swimming quiet
summer nights,
air so warm
you disappear . . .

We dance the ceremony,
gifting quiet cues,
like stick figures
growing flesh.

Transcription of a dear

by Varina Kosovich
What do I want to do, today? Hmm.
Look for rocks somewhere. Relax. Whatever I want. Hmm, hee.
What makes me xmile? Birds. Nice, warm beds. I don't know.
Lots of things make "me" smile. 
Sweet. This song. It's a good song, what do you mean? 
"I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall."
How do I feel, today? 00:13:23
Nostalgic. Of what? Well, not one particular "thing." 
Oh, also, I feel relieved. Why? Well, the obvious reason:
no more underground classes. It's all open source from here. 
I'll supposed for now, and you keep trying not to talk too much.

Obstacles

by Rebecca Thurber
Was it rainy, stormy, sunny
cloudy or clear?
Clock hands tick tick ticked from numerous positions,
and it was dark and light at once
yet neither dark nor light
as the florescent lighting made the
universe lose clarity and certainty—
similar to the artificial darkness of theaters.
It was impossible to know
whether it was night or day.
 
The baby was placed in an incubator—
its first box— waiting to be named.
 
The father made a fist in his easy-chair
while watching hours and hours of T.V.
 
The mother flew through time zones in
airplanes. She was nowhere all at once.
 
But no one
No one is ever here
Here on these pages, which they
read with nodding heads—
pass on to friends,
Who all agree
That no one lives it.  

On Myself, On Thought, On Edward Weston's Photo

by Rebecca Thurber
Do you know how she became like this?—
Breaking into fragments
and mixing with the sand.
She was monumental.
She lay across the Rocky Mountains,
but now she is eroding.
 
Look at her—
At the shadows made by the angles of her jagged bones.
You may see her in segments,
Love her in portions—
her distance and misery,
the erotic tingle nudging at your senses 
her restless, pleading eyes.
She begs to sink into the sand
and suffocate in vastness;
instead you surround her with your arms and mind.
She fades into you 
 
You: mountaineer— You had
trudged across her sloping breasts—
explored the concave of her thighs;
You collected the dirt form the tread of your shoes,
and grew plants from that soil
that wilted, black, as your memory faded. 
 
Yet you have contained her.
She has settled in garden pots,
and gathers...

City Sunday Everyday (that's a command)

by David Wright
Caught on yet? I mean really? Was there something saying the other day, when the bridge had collapsed at that place where they have no sea, and there is a direct light humming into wanna hi into this gotten ghost. Oh, wait, right, now, please. Catch on the other day how there are bean sprouts fighting for your lunch?

Last night, out hanging Saturday clothes, and it was Monday: better at least register how catching on and being caught on are a matter of human triviality. Oh, I mean relativity. Oh, prosper. Or, on time. Oh I just don't know what to say to that. Possessives lost at grand unction and Federal Highway number one.

Oarsmen riding across the river, thirsting and knowing you'll be at river of forgetfulness or river caught onto as might being possible to

edges. That's all I should have to say.

I had wax paper for dinner last night.
I gulped apples like a pig at a smorgasbord.
All my jelly jars, all my rolled dough.

todays poem

by Colleen Barnes-Jones
This poem is about my son. Everyday with james is a trial and a journey.
He has been mentally ill for 4 years and struggles to separate reality from fiction. I like to write about him because it helps me release my frustrations and because he is the most interesting person I know.


Reality

I woke up from a coma
my brain stained and broken
what anyone said 5 minutes ago,
I forget like they had never spoken.

i know you think while I lay there for weeks
unconcious and open to all entities unseen
that I left or someone else came in
where the former ME had been.

i live in a world of liars and voices
of images of people not really there
mixed with reality and my own thoughts
and its hard to tell who really cares.

The voices, they are real, even though the doctors tell
me they are only in my mind
why would i conjure up such malicious liars?
i thought imaginary friends were kind.

Easter Sunday 2009

by Colleen Barnes-Jones
Thank you for the invite to the site. Wow, I started expressing myself on papers when I was 10. My essay on my dog "buddy" dying in the 6th grade made my friends cry. I won a bi-centennial essay contest in 76 and won 2nd place and my essay is in a time capsule to be opened in 2076.........cool, but I'll be dead. I hope one of my grandchildren will be there to feel cool for a few minutes. My boys are grown, well......physically. One had a head trauma at age 12 and is a perpetual child now. It breaks my heart.........everyday. I have so much to write about and so little time. Life gets in the way. Strawberry planting, gardening up front this week but I promise I will use that create button.

Suicide Soar Roar

by David Wright
Suicides hiss at the sorority gadflies
Little bits of informed buzz rugs
But they're just, and the same, singles
Fluttering with too heavy a handle
Sipping too long to see any "more"

We clapped for the brave stars' tits
Jonesed and peered in on-the-screen
"She looked hot like that," "um-hmm,"
Dressed with beads of derelict thrift
Sprinkling flecks of skin across bills

Her suicide justice is not any way home
Newsprint helps the grass seed grow,
But they're dead sooner or tommorow
Frying the colloquial brains to calcium
Drinking the forgetful river's foot leg arm



Stained and faded

by Miki Atencio
My mind is a whore
of emotions,
Never satisfied by the pleasure
of one. 
I can’t make the thoughts 
cease.
My dreams are stained
with memories
of him.
Stained like my favorite shirt. 
And you are that shirt I won’t get rid of,
ignoring 
the spots and worn holes.
You are tainted
by my past 
with another.
 
Now, we are fading, 
but I put you on
because you are comfortable.
You are not exciting, 
new, sexy, 
or warm, 
but I will wear you out 
until you are torn
at the seams. 
Then I will use you
as a rag.

Write a blues poem for something you've lost or forgotten.

Blues Poem

I've lost nothing.

There were the years where I looked out of the window and watched the
construction
tall cranes lifting boxes and I beams far below
whole city stretching out and away, fading out into the fog
buildings scraping the side of the bay
glass, steal and concrete fixing into the place the small worlds where
dramas play out

running numbers one time I saw a clipper ship drifting in the bay
it was gone into the fog before the sun rose

there was a time when enlightenment meant closing my eyes on the train
listening to the morning commuters
smelling fresh newspaper ink smudging the plastic keys of phones
wiffs of aftershave, the smell of belts, the feel of pressed cotton
the world flying past through synthetic windows, resting on composite
fiber mesh seats

I've lost nothing.
I worked for a corporation...

Minnesota Virgin

by David Wright
 
Keesha knows that she has done something wrong, just not what exactly. It is not always easy to do the right thing, especially when rules are unclear. Keesha is old enough to know that running away will only lead to more scoldings from her mother and a hard, stern look from father. Dramatic parental signals remembered well into next week. Running away is never pretty.

Good day to have a day

by David Wright
Today my capitals are even bigger than last night's wished upon glints. Tall columned story book dreams, the kind I find inspiring and therefore enough to categorize as my own, are always just the right fit for my britches because I, too, am just a man of a plan. I see no need for new spice, random chance or perilous journey. Such fast thoughts are best left for the virile and worthy of sunlight. Nothing's too dark. I don't feel under the sea. Grandfather is laughing. Jerry rigged flyovers with contraptions of new model saucers are enough for my needs. Everything spells another day of work in order that we better communicate our peace and our war and our victorious capture of our own heart and mind.

Facebook has shown me the why behind the silence.

Yeah, they know we're here. It's not like they haven't been here before. 

They beamed big smiles and clapped for us when we got the pyramids up, proud of us that we had learned to build with blocks. They were tickled pink by the Nazca lines... back then we were awfully cute. All toddlers are.

Underwater Weekend

by Caribou Slim
The rains have come. Spitting in fits and spurts, spluttering out downpours. Our little yellow house has become a submarine. 

The weather is strange this year. The mustard is blooming two months early, and the rains were almost two months late. Odd, my friend, the vineyard manager,  told me that he's curiously clean this year... he should be coming home covered in mud. 

Is there anything poetic in being stuck indoors with a couple of sick toddlers? I think to Cosmo's enormous eyes, calm in the midst of his illness - deep, dark, infinitely sweet. Or when I opened the door to get a smoke and the rain came crashing down - soaking me in the wake of an easterly wind. Pure moments like this - when the mind is caressed or slapped into visceral awareness - these were once a source of inspiration.

Anodyne

by David Wright
Over the years porch planks broke from old age, square Mason’s nails were sticking out bent and crooked, and Gallow-grass annuals grew tall through the cracks of the floorboards. It was lucky the house hadn’t burned down years and years ago. A nice Lord knows, if any where some awkward fire could start, it’d be on the front porch where grandma shot grandpa twice with buckshot. Then tried stabbing him with the pick axe by the dusty old woodened planks once she’d realized her shells were gone. Sent him flying, then flying again, fast through mid-air and off Louise’s new front steps. He lived. Landed hard onto the bushes that little Louise had called flowers. Weeds were plants misplaced into an environment where their worth was deemed unwanted, Louise had later learned. “Mi-o, My-O, Mi-o,” she’d always sing. Mio, Michigan was a wonderful place to be born, Louise had always thought.

Horace Harding Expressway, 1.25.09

by shep proudfoot
True NYC moment: woman picks her way through the snow as cars whiz past her on the freeway.  Her hair is wild and streaked in gray runs.  She is muttering to herself.  I get closer until I can hear her.  Her eyes stare into details I can't catch.  "You can't let the aliens run it, because the aliens will want to take over the world!  'N you can't let those dinosaurs run it, because they'll want to take over the world!"
 
I wanted to know more, but I was scared.

Screw the Man in the Yellow Hat

by Furious George
Yeah, wasn't till he died of a tweak overdose that I came to grips with what was really going on. I went on this sabbatical after the autopsy, back to the Congo. That's when the memories started coming back.

Man, the Jungle! I hadn't swung on a vine in nearly 20 years. Hard to get cigars tho... I was sitting up around 100 ft when the rain came down and put out my last one. As the nic fits hit, and I found myself peering out through the canopy to try and find a liquor store, I realized what he'd done to me. I couldn't live there anymore. And I began to remember why.

Summer Morning

by . Barnes!
Waking up to hot
Hot air
Pulling on my slacks
Covered with cat hair
Snapping on the flimsy Timex
A weed-wacker hums its insect tune
Emus, peacocks, various fowl
softly call from fences past fences
I step out onto the hot porchboards
To smoke my morning smoke
breathe in my ash.
In mid-stalk, a cat
Freezes
Fixated on some small soul
Deep in the dry golden weeds.

beluga,
glad I hadn't settled for eighty grand
and he schwinns in, tells me I should have shot the moon
tugs on my hair plugs
chucks my toothpaste
squats, craps on my Bruno Maglia shoes
busts a stitch laughing at my gym-built temple
overturns my tabula rasa
so it's more picnic, less IKEA...

Magellan's Dark

by Caribou Slim
            When I first met Magellan, I thought he was dead.
            His eyes were stretched out to the stars with a vacant gaze; hands lay open, palms upwards, as if in supplication. His long body was spread out across the sidewalk, blocking my way. I went to step over him, ignoring him in my solitude; he was only homeless to me then.
            “Mirrors,” he said, gazing up at me.
            “What?”
            “We’re all mirrors, everything is a mirror.”
            “Okay, sure, whatever buddy,” I turned to go.
            “Wait,” he said, so soft and direct that I froze in place. He gave a long, luxurious stretch and stood up, turning me to face him.
            “Everything you see is reflected light. What you...

Submission

by Caribou Slim
I have wandered the corridors of my death
Marveled at the sculptures cast
in memory
Golden and ebony
Painted my blood along the walls
calmly
Carved my name across the floor with my fingernails
Heard my last breath echoing through the empty halls
paused
Smiled, listening to its quiet melody

I could remain there forever
voiceless
Watching you slip coi-like through the pool
of a garden mind
Swirling through sight like night through dream
Collecting screams
Belly laughs, scars
Orgasm
Kisses, bruises
Stones cast shoreward by the surf

I have always loved you
Because you were not gentle
When you tore my voice free
Lifting me bloody and squawling to the sun
to the vultures
to the hungry air
Drawing life from my lips like a lullaby
Drawing tears from my silent eyes
Their salt a sweet gift to a newborn tongue

Sipping coffee on the porch

And then I see their three little heads
Bobbing as they run
Single file through the thorns
