Nippur

In Nippur
3-6-17

Of creature initiative
I call myself Creator
Not to make myself equal
But his assistant
Like smoke in a great furnace
Seeing myself in somebody else
I can't do it all by myself
In somebody else
I can't go it all by myself
Putting on my morning gown in Nippur
Just as we have teeth like that of a lion
Beauty, power and glory to you
And this is wisdom, the number of a man
In the times of the Gentiles, I rave on
Come unto announcement rainbow
Upon our heads and foot like pillars of fire
Loving my tarantula
All part of the trial
Where iron sharpens iron...




On Revelation 9:16
3-6-17

Parenthetic and as well empathetic
In Merton's discovery
Come on and dance with me
In the scintillating sparks of good conversation
No further delay
And silence in the studio for but a moment
To hear my coffee percolate
What a beautiful sound and aroma to begin again
Out forty-two months
O love yet to follow
It was more than what I could swallow
We give you thanks God Almighty
With remarks about refreshments
For two hundred million
Such an army to be but acknowledged
Parenthetic....





Of Braziller Series
3-6-17

Finding another book of poems for Dennis
My memorial of benzodyapines with my Guinness
Today I just can't lose
Exclaiming, "The new man"
As the flame we yet fan
Produced shortly after this
A story I need to tell of dreams inexplicable
In another journal I am to christen
For our physique in such dislike
In our Braziller series
Dismantling the silence
And more romance with you
In the moonlight come Saturday
Set the clocks one hour ahead
For our Cynthia and Bidet
As the heavens open...
