BLIND BROW

Down on the pier by

The balancing lakes, balancing

freezing water warm stones.

MISSISSIPPI

for Jeff Buckley

"Its a cold and it's a broken hallelujah"
                                          Leonard Cohen

 

"don't be like me-

         and burn your books of poetry'. 

  Hallelujah, Mississippi Hallelujah

STILL LIFE  

Plate rests on the bowl

There is no room on-

the bed side table.

Haiku in haiku

out, a clean slate every-

day in day out again.

Sky walking, your poem

Held me up, Raymond Carver

'Imagine that wire'.

Tight-rope of

literature, you held my

hand stepped out

 

Constipation pain

Like a bag of shit tied up

in a bag of skin.

 

Disability-

is in my nature, it makes

nothing of me, shell

even if it makes 

somethig out of you

Herni Michaux

I am nobody in

Hell-cell, shell shock-

Took my name away

 

A doorway, portal

of poetry, took me down 

new path to the waterfall

Poems were once-

       Dreams, I wrote them before-

            my feet hit the ground.

 

Now, I don’t have in-

sight to dream, filthy realism!

Stroke took my inner core.

 

 READ LOU

Lou Reed gave me-

the essence and all his strength 

A blue mask-

sad song a curl of 

his lip a look in his eye 

take no prisoners 

Look inside, a rock n roll 

animal-legendary 

heart goes out not with 

scotch tape, not with 

glue the gel of street-level 

humanity, adhere 

to an uncertain 

probability rushing 

on my run-

a radiance of strength 

to sustain in me another 

breath. 

American poet 

washed up on my shore you 

tore down my barricades.

 

 

 

Ma, me, Stephanie

soiled in lie-low grave

remember-ance
