The drink, The drink
If I were to seriously think
No! No! this can’t be it-
Poisoned?
Alas! transparent purity fills
Wait wait wait,deception,deception-
red red red,liquid life dead?
should be red
as in body, so in barrel
saving saving saving , like the Saviour;s Blood
Inspired by OVP9, BB
Tree Spirit
dwells in the slip-sliding plane of the infinite,
violet-drenched and blue-sparkled,
a feather-boughed, dancer
between the tectonic plates of time.
She doesn’t care about shrines
built for others, but look for her
in the secluded places, bird-dawns
or bat-dusk, reveal her ancient power soaring.

Keeping
We press the juice from things,
barrel them away barriqued and bonded,
waiting for the right moment to taste,
retaste, savour the past.
In the dark, memory reforms, transforms,
spreads arms benignly where a fist once shook,
cracking happiness from side to side.
In the dark they squirm, elvers, quicksilver,
insaissisables, running from Sargasso
to the pool slowly emptying in summer drought.
We hoard the best until it spoils,
deaf to the cherry tree whispering, Let go.
Spring tree, winter tree, both bloom white,
purer than your yellowing pages.

Jesus Don’t Appear In A Sunbeam (BB9)
in the tiniest crack
of rock
of light
a cavity in my mind
stands anonymous
glued to the spot
all the spirituality I have left
inherited genetic remnants of my ancestors
who prayed to the sun
and only saw rain

Memories
There on a loop, replete constantly like TV reruns.
Not all movies are good. Some have unhappy endings
while others the good ones, end far too soon.
Some I don’t even remember.
Or the fly-off into phantasy.
Or turn into something else.
Or wake me with a start.
Pulse racing.
Heart pounding.
Blood-curdling.
Cold sweating
PANIC!
Sometimes as I sit in my favourite chair watching TV
calm and relaxed at peace with myself and the world,
happy times, the fun times, holidays on sun-swept beaches,
play over and over until, with a smile from ear to ear,
I fall asleep.

A Nonsense Set List for Day 9: Easter Sunday
A man with mnemonic memories
Statute stenosis linear strictures
Erasures leave cold trees snow blossoms
Sharpen graphite left with wood shavings
Mary statuesque married to the seminary

A barrel of blue twilit trees
Ferns and Pink Brains for the Stew

The 3 Marys
IMAGE BB9
Hail Mary,
Magdalena; the Virgin Mother; and the other Mary –
but who rolled away that sepulchre stone?
Mary was a popular name back then
still is
so maybe someone named Mary was responsible.
Or was it an inside job,
was there divine intervention
or foul play involved?
This ‘whodunit’ will roll and roll and roll
for another 2000 years.
Perhaps Poirot, Maigret and Columbo
can solve this leap of faith forever.
Oh and just one more thing –
Happy Easter.

Is this the hat that Sherlock Holmes wore
That helped him to equal the score
That kept his identity secret and safe
from lurking criminals in London street
That kept him warm on the Moors
while he followed the Baskerville Hound
That helped him seek the Speckled Band
and kill it before, on the victim, it could land
Of course this hat looks familiar, who would
better know than one,none other than Dr Watson
And so it is that we know the owner by its shape
And are now off to look for the matching cape.

Origins
Once black wings flapped,
and darkness lifted
so, the seasons fly in bird hues,
cardinal red, goldfinch yellow, peacock blue,
heron grey, and dove white
feathers drop, and we glimpse
light emitted, caught, refracted, reflected,
coned and rodded—
perceptions parsed through legends and time–
does knowing it make it more
or less mysterious?
More or less beautiful?
Once there was no word for blue—
seen, unseen–
all the colors, all the light,
bright-beaked, tail-feathers gleaming,
soaring out of sight.

A Prism Poem for A Hat Check Girl
Shake. Shake. Shake!
Rattle. Rattle. Rattle!
What’s under the unfolding cap?
A thin Neon man holding a bird
about to fly into the nighttime City.
A red tree on a hill
angling to fly into someone’s hair.
They lost their hat in a windstorm!
A spikey tree hair-comb,
shaking off its leaves, dancing
in the Prismatic cloudy City sky.
All these bright, bright colours!

Creations (all images)
Earth created tree, and tree spread
and spread covering earth with root-weave
and bough-tangle, leaf-canopy and winter quilt.
Tree created bird, and bird spread wings
and flew from tree to tree nesting-building,
egg-tending, fledging until the earth sang.
Man created mirrors that spread ersatz light,
steel and concrete-tangle that grew higher than any tree
and flew from sunrise to sunset, never fledging.
Ocean deep created darkness, that spread
from shell to shell, held tight closed from the beginning,
dark pearls, waiting to be sown.

Cap (AB8)
He loved his cap. Its shape,
its colour, the way it slotted
onto his head so easily
that he’d forget to take it off
when he got home.
He noticed it was starting
to wear a little, on the rim
and on the inside. He didn’t
want to think about the day
he would have to let it go.

Autumnal Vivaldi
IMAGE OVP8
Celebrate the harvest
in dance in music in excess.
Bring your gifts to the Gods
and she will bring Bacchus
and he more wine.
Take your lover’s hand
beneath the golden boughs
and quench your souls
in a carnal feast.
Then sleep, sleep
softly sleep
in the arms of another
beneath the September stars
of Scorpio and Sagittarius
then
awaken, kiss be merry
and dance, dance again,
for the Sun
has yet to rise
and tomorrow is a distant land.

Cherry Blossom Falls (SaraFM8)
As she leaves
she says that he’s
like a cherry blossom tree:
beautifully crafted bundles of
pink-lemonade stand warmth
pouring summer joy
bubbling with expectation
before fall drops
leaving orange-brown
mulch on the floor.
She says she doesn’t want to waste
another autumn
crushing dead petals, eggshells
and dreams underfoot.

with KB Brookins:
Q1: When did you start writing and whom influenced you the most now and currently?
KB: My first writings in general were journal entries, and I started doing that around 7. I started writing creatively in 10th grade, when I participated in an after school program at my highschool called Poetry Society. My early poetic influences were my friends; in poetry society we’d share what we wrote out loud, and I thought their stuff was so cool that it made me go harder on the page. Of course, I was also influenced by the media I was consuming around me – hip hop, R&B, really bad reality TV, etc. My current influences are more-or-less the same: my friends/contemporaries (jason b crawford! joy priest! Kay ulanday barrett!) and other media (Frank Ocean! Janelle Monae! Podcasts, TV, and etc!)
