To All Motherless Children on Sunday

Let's take our fondest
memory, and walk with
her once more.
Follow the lilac, peony or
cherry blossom scents
home,
then close the front door.

~~

For Helen.

To All Childless Mothers

Neopoet Renga 5

Ethnics soon sunder
our forefathers origin
tumult from terra

Gods fight for control north, south
new race emerge to power

Two sovereign one God
appear from the aftermath
the red white and blue

Blood stained forever now
but new ideals bring change

Irishman no stress
it's always dry in the pub
amused by panic

Guinness slow to settle down
Waits to quell the thirst of man

That all nations die
Not knowing our present
Stops all the worry

The river runs slow today
As do my thoughts.
Continents of ice collide and separate
over a grey green field of quiet water.
Snow falls at random.
Flakes swirl or streak as god wills
as uncontrolled as my thoughts
White pin holes in a grey and formless day.

I rage at self inflicted wounds.
Afflicted with terminal incompleteness.
I Feel the cold of an empty being.
Yet also the warm solitude of self.

I sense the labyrinth that leads to clarity
Bringing flowers to Algernon; joyfully.

sexicity tis
we all can imagine
how difficult it's
to resist the dark raven black hair
strewn all about
and
then there remains no further invitation
without a doubt
one….!
you are marvelous
many will wonder
what you must have been
when youthful
as you perhaps are still
not still
roving discerning eyes
do kill
when tis
the till
with free will

void a check
crushed like a fender slender

pull it tight
back from the skew
strut on and on

glamour smash

paint fleck and rust dust
your glitter annointments
the gleaming backscatter

crawling hunger licking
like a hot blue wave

walking without tracks
I moved

beneath a torn sky
lame of light

passing the lacquered skull
bonded to its talisman’s
forgery

finding shamans
with blunt knives
eating the blame

watching
each sacred breath
tarnish bodies
aging fates

gaunt thieves hover
keyless
before nirvana

I enter
through the single crack
where
paradox explodes

unveiling

The Hidden way
