Poetry
Undescribed
I have spoken in a thousand voices
but feel not a spark or vibration
for this simile that beseeches me.
A comparison is too stark
for a personality I’ve only mentally read.
An object is but the paramount
to foretell a wisp of my thoughts.
Autonomous
Human
In
the world of subjugation and virility,
I am the ‘opposite sex’.
In the world of ongoing and region-indexed feminism,
I am a chief activist.
Some people think I’m that cute and well-rounded girl
who feels the need to be involved in everything,
but I am really an autonomous, sublime woman.
Hands
Too Time Ridden
Archaic these
hands may be --
by a mere sweep, a flame is lost.
When curved as moist, fallen leaves
their shades contrast.
By oil, a painter
can define this near-subtlety
in fleshy folds and curves.
By acrylics these hands can be bared
for the precision that is fierce.
I remember the
fine arts
that proved physical personality,
without admirable augmentation --
when bodies and spirits were not yet ‘modernized.’
Capturing
an Image
Stained
paper is scented and matches the color of my coffee,
crystals
are stuck to the alternate edges of the cup.
Running
wax to dried wax,
an
aroma ever sweet fills my nose.
A
flame too radiant burns stationary wax and
glistening
glass holds the vulnerable solid.
Schemes
Women’s
schemes
couch marriage,
straightening the avoided and missed like sheets.
mama - cradled
and loved
woman - laid the scent slipcover
hope and dreams
in dear hands
cushioning the lover.
Journey
Journey
the loom
where brutes skirt. . .
demeaning,
strangely,
observation
brought peril!
Mind
revolting
and sickness spew,
where
humankind has not gone,
for they apprehend that change.
Temporary
Psychopathic Coma
When and where,
then and now,
no matter. . .
whenst wither.
Banished!
How, why,
what, and nothing.
Now reach to strain
the genius and significance in interpreting.
Why, my successors?
When, my ailments?
Nothing? - The
BLAST of my indulgent tenants. . .
Then?. . .they
ail?
Now?
No, perhaps later when smitten.
Where, my ominous
pack?
How?
Did it become SO adverse?
Where will they
bring the last of lasts?
How, with addressee's mirth inclined - I say "Ha!"
But. . .
What has happened to integrity?
Nothing, nevertheless
- And the BLAST I'll see to.
