Well I'm new. I'd like to read some poems of others here and share some of mine. Pretty simple eh?
Thunderbird At The Gila River, Summer '05
"Advice: learn poems so that you don't have to write them.
Strategies are useless testimonials."
- The Book of Warnings, D. Whitehead
This pretty life is death's comma
and we are between, constructing
the darkest layer in the top soils
over which the eagle flies
with the owl, as same as the bug.
Once I stood on a reservation
for Injuns and thought.
The wild wisdoms entered
like drugs with the cackle
of gypsies and caw of old birds
into the world's big recorder.
When suddenly! Like that!
The newest grand canyon opened
her secret vaults to receive
the sound and reek of vomit from the throat
of a drunkard who turned in and then sped away.
Ah, the stories the rocks will tell!
