My brain severed by song-splitting-memory,
ignorance since simple college subjects studied.
Cable strung decades long, spool backward
through jump-cut-frames puzzled without completion.

Would this be the year, just as 2025 haunts
a hopeless dreamer unborn, wondering
how many more seasons to skip, skitter,
jump through, arrive nowhere by each yearā€™s end ā€”
as yet clueless ā€” misguided, but wanting to believe
one dream could still exist.

Wipe a slate clean. It doesnā€™t wash away
since linear went digital. Setting this year
aside.

Collapsible and Rising

Hands tied and in my dark
Soon to swing
Hope the angels sing
A chorus, in death, a lark
Plunge me further
         Toward humility

Filled with wonder, alone
But not dread that
I could lose my head
A chorus for you Iā€™d phone in
Instead, elevate
Toward ignominy

I bear this weigh on land legs
Cross-strapped for you
Because you need me to
Stand on this platform
Let all pass through
Toward indignity

One lever displaces a floor,
the galvan-blade
Sudden game stayed
Before a knot frayed, neck coarse
Still your undead, spirited
Toward humanity

The soul of one man, not severed
Either, or in any way,
Not deprived air in judgment days
A tongue stilled. But, a pen-hand
Cannot hush, walks tall tides thick
         Toward divinity

See you there?

I Wake To Rest

I wake with numb sensations that make me wonder
if I might be alive
if I might rise, hover over carpet,
dully view out nose-print pane of memory
scenes,
if I might go to recollections after thoughts
I might be move through a frame
slightly larger than the necessary size,
if I might
wander on worn hall carpet
position to see larger frames
with inset glass tempered
with just the right scenes
where life witnessed grand,
if I might
see a view of the street
should I float down past
suspended images on walls of their likenesses
if I might
make it to the landing
open vista to anywhere
that I might imagine a horizon that day
seek warmth from sun up to set
without a regret
yet
I linger
inhabit a world
I claimed, but not mine
where Iā€™ve laid to rest many years
skin-crimp this wrist, twist red, redder,
again and again
hope hoping
put on spectacles to see sights of all that remains
in these shadows,
where Iā€™ve communed in silent illumination,
also wondering,
if this is my story post death.

I would send post cards from the grave if I could.
This oneā€™s for you. Sorry Iā€™m not there to see you open.

I wash out on evening tides.

I donā€™t think of her anymoreā€¦not even now.

I missed many hours hiding, in too many nights.

Lost are dreams that entertain dark, in quiet slumber.

Tired of all drama for her, the body yields.

Pillow, sheets and comforterā€¦now ever ready.

Iā€™m sinking
deep within the kingly confines.

Troubled limbs
find no rumblings, heart to head.

Hands of time melt gentle
behind heavy, wall shadows.

The eyes, these eyes
see nothing in space, simple in solitude.

I wash out on evening tides.

Tomorrow, all tomorrows,
arrive to new songs of my own dramaā€¦

A new era arrives, and why so important?
I donā€™t think of her.

Iā€™m, Iā€™mā€¦

Sheā€™s not dead.
I only say,
you canā€™t kill whatā€™s already dead.
I watch fury plunge the honed edge into my chest again,
and again. Glad
Iā€™m something for someone
who can emote feelings I canā€™t understand.

The label ā€˜too seriousā€™ puzzled me,
engrossed in lonely illusion
without fake cheery gift of smile.

Unfair, because every heart song
informed an isolated one
with tangled, unattuned heart strings.
Music made sense.

Your declarations and perceptions
lacked information I gathered,
like armfuls of printed weather readings ā€”
a collapsing tunnel of statistics
from a prognostic printer fed
inputted information, considered
from all perspectives, nearly
negating the overwhelming tides
splashing a stone gathering lichen ā€”
disease of a tender soul in want
of any whoā€™d admit, itā€™s okay
to have intense passion ā€” even if,
for the deflectors and rejectors
that held investigated pieces of me
in self-important hands like indignity.

I had to refuse each and every one
who dared forecast the weather of me,
without realizing their ignorant wisdom
force these pressure fronts within,
false navigation, resultant errors
ingested and internalized for life.

Sorry, if I let some serious leak out.
These seasons, containerized,
violent in a pressure cooker.
My steel cage did itā€™s best
not to tear new holes in scenery ā€”
music soothing the savage breast.

And what right to spoil your party,
as I canā€™t fake your needed smile,
fear lyric I laugh ā€” not the right way
for those blithe diets of spirits
whoā€™ll rebuff the slight, sour look.

Iā€™ve considered you and your nature.
Iā€™m heading out in my dinghy
to swallow tempests and typhoons.
Iā€™ll be back to writing, after lunch.



10.29.24



Itā€™s nothing new; not like I havenā€™t heart it since ā€˜differentā€™ applied.
No one feels obliged to truly consider me?
Iā€™ve worn out the worldā€™s shoe stores with clod feet
Learned to be a beautiful dancer, singer, athlete, lover, poet, butā€¦

I live in the collapsed portions of narcissistic ideate-machinations and thumb-nosed manipulation with ā€˜put a sock into itā€™.
Iā€™d like to see you and your army with those shoe sleeves.

You know serious.
Meet tenaciousā€¦he wonā€™t sleep until all the fatal mold scrubbed from the graffiti rocks hurled upon my soul harbor.

I withhold a much more intense logic driven poem produced this evening.
All thanks to these late life pro-biotics, learned what it takes to stay healthy, and work.
Eat what Iā€™ve been spoon fed, hear echoing off walls to the calm waters, where I watch horizon clouds form, aim.

I'll even sing you a poem, whichever
of the many I wrote with you in mind.


We could cool beneath the mapleā€™s tangling limbs,
if you'll tell me why you chose him.

I'll sing you about my dream forming tonight
about the deserving one I'd wish to right.

You can continue view this love as granted,
or still here with the magic root Iā€™ve planted.

Summer often inspires passion's reflection,
as we capture a butterfliesā€™ wayward deflection.

How pretty we sit here, thirsting to trust
what could have bloomed above, if offered to us.

I'll play best with harmonic strings truth, whichever
heartfelt verse chosen could compel you.

We have each sung a chorus when meek, longing,
as a desperado sun dips and light streaks

from dusk twilight to night in variations.
You could hold in these wordsā€™ observant vibrations,

echoing love sworn true 'til that morning dew,
thankful you at least stayed the night, imbued.

Autumn arrival will come soon enough, yet fade
where lyrics can still foster two in leaf parade.

Inevitable frost will overwhelm your land, while
my words are keeping you warm as long as can.

And, I'll sing you this poem, too.
I'll take any requests, if you only knew.

Could you have loved me as much ā€” how to know?
My dreams true, longer than one season into snow.

I'll even write odes to you long beyond,
might I whisper your beauty on black sight.

One last tender chin touch for the fleet of wing,
remind my words are nothing to what you bring.

I'll sing all nothingness to you in my vocation,
if youā€™d desire, in this idle idol adoration.

ā€˜ā€¦ There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive.ā€

Touchstones

Marshmallows from the back of the pantry,
once airily formed, hung over my head,
inedible now. Yet,
I canā€™t seem to throw them away.

The hand-me-down dish cracked a little more
after another wash, spin, and I again,
in dark store it away.
Touchstones, rare, claim my memory.

The child I lifted and spun around the room,
witnessed joyously in song, an image
burned into unforgettable.
Where is that innocent delight now?

I melt those marshmallows, in fudge made,
serve on that plate under trap of cellophane.
A remarkable moment arrives:
two gleaming-green eyes and a cheery smile.

Just one more dance, savoring confection,
I recall all old songs sung to her
and the dreaming charm
reawakens in my arms.

All moments captured, white cream consumed,
motherā€™s green heirloom hides away.
Mindfully comes pause
for one touchstone I value the most.

Sleep tight, words I would hush still
to that sleepy, bright face dreaming
every marshmallow cloud
spun on our plate, and this pact:

never forget tradition, and purpose
the undying glowing in our clouds
through ceramic bright;
and, hold all those old memories tight.

Red-and-White Pinwheel

Wind turbine, lone pin-wheeling,
on your horizontal axis, anchored
silent in thick grass,
I glimpsed with a curious eye,
you, geometric wonder.

Your curved plastic cups blading
invisible molecules of air invading.
Compulsion counterclockwise and colorful,
swirl on, raised by gripped straw,
guided by the young hand.

About our lonely yard, natural
By Newton-force law, actual
peculiar propeller,
torque motion blaze amazing
to her sole child dreamer.

In youth haste, neglectfully placed
on the driveway night to morn.
Swept and thrown by lightning storm,
anguishing black nights spent alone,
when in full sun, reborn.

She found you in tender green,
Under a flock of ladies ā€”
stoic tulips, vegetal hyacinth.
Lying down the groceries,
considered you with a frown.

Anew, skewered you in her ground
to compare within the garden, join
a bright array of swooning blooms.
Life consumed a pale plastic,
brittle-cracked in harsh elements.

Factory-shaped skin eroded.
Eager pinwheel, head above weed,
carved on, funneled flows unseen
churning, turned over and over.

         ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

How many years has it been?
Winters in snow, frozen in melt,
long starved seasons rigid
with sweet reunion this spring thaw

How you reappear again
Stationed in wait, surviving amid
decay, blades thin, worse for wear
before lips pursed blow
that first burst of air ā€”

miraculous rotation
with wisp wings longingly lifted.
In my grip, take one last spin,
sluice the inhaled flowage,
dream and run with your boy.

Your foils wobble, a bit slower
than recalled, and smaller.
Of all our days logged behind
her old house, now thisā€¦the best.

Iā€™m scratching my head again.
Dreams as your aviator
recalled, as my heart climbs now
nearer to Heaven. Savior
Mom, see? My cherished pinwheel.

         ~ ~ ~

I would grin another day.
at her desk, writing your ode.
When opened the jammed drawer
to rummage in her clutter

Oh, pinwheel! She missed our games.
I peruse the words on a page,
The final note to us from her:

So much depends
upon the striped pin
wheel, inhaling air
in its dividing house,

comparing to my
brightest tulips
that flex and swoon,
where it anchors
while heā€™s been away.

Your breaths send back
every thrust, a pretty twirl ā€”
his tiny turbine engine
that made giants of men.

He didnā€™t forget you
in weed I failed to spade,
certain of your grip
amid chill-white pilings

year in and out,

Tulips and hyacinth
forever sleep beneath
before I join soon too
in June, the last station.

Sorry you can't tag along.
He'll find you, I'm sure.
So much did depend on you,
that breathes inside of him.

Tell him how wonderful
to have you as companion,
that I love him, dearly,
with wind that sends us back.


         ~ ~

That's my pinwheel, childhood friend.
Lies in keepsakes; never bury,
but with me goes, at the end.

          ~

ā€œYou may have noticed that your pinwheel looks like a wind turbine. That's because they are in a way! The colorful wheel has ā€œbladesā€ that spin counterclockwise when air passes through it. The blades are three dimensional and act as ā€œcupsā€ to capture the air so that they can move with the power of the wind.ā€

https://discoverystation.org/pinwheel-wind-turbines/#

ā€œObjects rotate due to the application of a torque or rotational force, which is often caused by an external influence. In more detail, rotation in physics is a movement that occurs when a force is applied not at the center of mass of an object, but at a distance from it. This force is known as torque.ā€

I'm aware
the promise to always love you
was the moment you opened your eyes
and saw me with what wonder.
You, new to the world, and
me, new to awe of a small hand
reaching, grasping a thick thumb ā€”
the next moment recalled.

I was unaware,
when it became unwritten promise
I'd teach you everything. Yet wondered
how you grew, somehow ā€”
as unaware, how that voice would sing
after gliding where we rowed
many hours logged
in our green, comfy chair.

From that window, aware
and hoping all of nature could see
but not compare to the love
you'd given me. How confident legs
ran right for open arms,
well aware you'd plunge my chest
like the deepest ocean
bared for you, protected
and spared any lurking evil
should it ever dare.

All too aware,
prayed where we read together
in a small bed each night,
a fight coming to stay alight,
struggled in those sands together
before free of that fog
remaining hours logged by her
to dream you forever.

Laying aware in silence,
finally convinced of this marvel,
not dread. Wonder of dreams
that charm the crown in cuddled plush,
slept tight to grow up right.
My lifelong friend offers hugs,
with a grip strong to soothe
slouch shoulders, stiff of neck.

Aware, you'll offer anything,
beverage to bring, snack where I nap
and gaze the autumn tree,
ponder its colorful arrival.
Truly aware in this phase,
the ease to laze in our old chair,
unplanned adventure possibility yet
before winter white paints the step.

Awareness now, cocoa clutched,
the blanket on my lap. Garland and tinsel
greet needles and rails. Your words
adorn shortest days. Brighter story,
a melodious tumult with cadence marches
from a resonating man's chamber,
echoes love undying, with knowing ā€”
you're aware.
