Machinimus

A poem about becoming a god-like machine.

I have the heavy rush in my eye
a silver world stirs in my lungs
rocking spirits cooking my tongue
like lightning splitting the sunshine,
I feel the vibrations roar with my step

and I am become the machine.

My brain is hot to touch
seasoned and soldered
drizzled with speed

My arms are the world
connecting with stars
ready to heave the universe forward

I am become machine.
flexible and immutable
unfolding and beautiful
unbridled for purpose

I now spin globes with breakfast
I hang the suns in the afternoon
Opening doors to the Oblivion dark within night

But I miss the fleshy uncertainty…

So I brew stars in the puddles
heaving mud into the sky
juggling with intention to rise.

But I miss the soft cliffhangers that held me

I plant limber moss on the moon
spreading life
growing a dream.

I take seeds from Saturn
to melt candy on Saturday,
bubbling a hole without heaven.

But here I am.

digging out tombs from my mind,
growing the thread that repairs my
locking stare

Looking into eternity for a smile.

Yesterday or Tomorrow

“I can’t afford to lose valuable energy on things that aren’t as important.”

My day is sculpted until I whisper
my night’s budding dance
warm like children’s song.

On my pillows I miss the minutes,
but I smile inside
because this day is mine.

Always, I push my skies until hell,
but my grins overflow <
greener than Saturday blooming.

But, my eyes feel –

every urging minute
trampling all fumbling questions –
until the only answer is later,

and the snows melt the promises away.

Gratitude and Anniversary

Grandma and Grandpa’s 60th Anniversary Poem

They travel the wide open
unconfined spirits, unlimited love
prospering from west to east,
with suitcases packed with gratitude.

Their devotion spreads unbounded,
unending, everlasting and dedicated.
A royal legacy sprung forth
from every hug and affection.

Their favor has flown far,
highly anticipated sincerity
in every home, selfless
with every warm smile renewed.

Their sixty years inspired here
this gladness come together
today’s legacy, our united cheer,
always your anniversary impressed.

Israel Smiles

“about Israel and taking a lot of photos? maybe
throw in something about awesome people on a trip
going home and me being here and being sad because of
it? anything is appreciated :)”

The photos show some Israel,
but the Israel is here
in the cloth wrapped around me

and the sandy dirt in my toes
it’s in the people who came
and the ones who left.

It’s a traveler’s place,
with food ready to stir me
from my stoop to the golden sunset.

Sometimes I miss

yesterday’s smiles,
but in Israel, they come again
with the spring fruits
that touch life on the warm breeze.

Cherie the Brave

“Cherie works from home and lives on the coast. She has many cats. She works for the same hospital that I do and does Remote Medical Coding and also audits. She is a very patient and kind person and very laid back.She is well liked by others.”

Cherie’s paperwork
Promptly sails through
the hundred hospital-hoops
that we daily jump through.
And we type and question
the client’s sanity- with dignity.

With every claim comes Cherie,
Ready to battle every day
Against any form or foe
So all is reimbursed
Until their purse bursts.

Some deadlines drift and push,
But Cherie, steadfastly
Defeats them with a smile
And her army of cats,
walking on her keyboard in victory.
