What

Whomever is-

Mary-loved,

Is loved-By us,

Grateful,

For,

though-

We seem apart-

We lead-

Inseparable lives-

Our shadows-Lie side-

By side-

We’ve been-

Once Us-

We’ve-

Divided you-

Thus,-

Thru,

The love of-

Your mother,

Must exceed-

The love of your-

Own, for wherever-

Upon the world you-

She’s or has been there-For us,

Head

When they-

Speak of-

Their living-

Its always:

“My head”-

as though their-legs have been-

torn apart, as if the-

hearts are not unfolded-

 by such love, as to leave-

them so entirely breathless-

so entirely mindful, of the-

keenest in life’s-

and if left brazen, muted-

in denizens unmarked-

if the duty, to oneself-and-

God is lost,

What becomes of a fate-

So unequal, as to leave oneself-

Un-illuminated-

House,

And behold the-

Rest of you-

If it’s a laden-apparition you’re-

After,Perhaps your head-

Is really far-

Above you-

Entrenched-

Into eternity-

(Light)-

Upheld in-

Thereafter-Wondering-

The easiest way-

For you home-

For to set forth along--

These paths--

Are the eighth-

Wave-

masters,

who have risen-

After their bodies,

(Only)

After Cain and Abel-

Beget,

Genesis 4,5-

Mary

If Havva-

Doesn’t approve-

Its not conceivable--We won’t acquiesce-

For everyone else-

Can not exist-

Unless she’s alive,

 Not even-

A silhouette forms-

Without the two of us,

You can’t ever-Be born,

Until that love-

Is met,

Formed-

Into your favor,

Fruition-

Is her inception,

Her cup-

Creed-

Imitation-

Yours,

The Room

“A Body was found”-

on 53rd street-

they missed-

Christ’s room-

 by 300 feet,The, left-

Aren’t Abled-

Yet at all,

Abel meant:

That though-

Your soul-

Is re-born,

She (he) has to be-Carried on-

Our shoulders-

Time after time,

And the Greater Bears (Cains)-

Will have to march-

The call to wars-

(you’re off their backs)-

(They have no choice but to react at all)-

But Pam is home-

The crossing is over-

And your body, shall-

 Not be showered, for-

The wars in space, are in-

Real as— 

 Now,

Until two is home,Until deliverance is-

Known-

Before it-becomes,

Back,

To Us,

Us

It doesn’t matter-

What you are-

For when you close-

Your eyes,

You’re dreaming of a-

World that must-

Re-invent itself-(After the fall)-

For death is-

 Not true,

And for-

whether-

You-

Close your eyes-

Or not,

The dream is-

Done,

I’ve walked through-

Page 11: The Chronicles, Poems-4

Doors unopened-Doors slanted-

Shut,

Doors that-

Can’t exist-

At all,

And the-

Overwhelming-

Revelations are:Tis renewal-

Been too long-

Due,

And the creed-

Must be: the-

Humanness’s-

At loss,

If the reparation-

Un-doing’s ours,

The house will-

Crumble over-

Our homes,

And tribes,

(One by one)

As in the past,

The will of god-Is irreversible,

If the children-

And the meek-

Are prayed upon,

If the consciousness-

Of his is forlorn, by-

Grief over, the ones-

He adores first-And foremost-

Us,

Greed

The canes-

Appetite,

Gredd-

It stalls:Education, environment, jobs-

And so on,

(It arrests every-

freedom,)

For the reduction of-

Their back’s m ass-

There are more rules-

Disclosed,Persist in ignorance-

And be reduced in tiers-

In large bits-

(one by one)-

Progress as educated herein-

And your very shelters-

Won’t be everyone else’s-

Homes,

And these rules have been written-

Page 14: The Chronicles, Poems-4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-chronicles-poems-4 14/549

One after another,

There’s no choice-

But serene co-existence-

Of what’s fair,

(for another)-

It isn’t yours to begin,

It wasn’t yours at the end,

And the in between is divided,By these words—set in stones,

Amongst the jewels borrowed from-

(ours)-

Welfare— 

And to hear and not obey-

Is to be without a home:

Out of that tier you’re,

On, re-born on the-

Other side of our,

Fairs,

This kingdom is an-

Immense, oyster-

Of a shell, that-

Shall abandon,

 None,Trust us,

Both

 No way-I come and go-

Unaffected,

By all the ruins,

The tyranny-

Of men-

Against-

Their mothers-

Sisters,Daughters,

And each-

Other,

The exclusiveness-

Of wealth-

And power,

“Must come down”-

We are sciences-

Priests-

Poets,

And swords-

Continually,

You can redeem-

Gather-

disperse

And reborn,

Perpetually-

Or not come-

Back-

At all,But -

Unrecognizable-

As man-

-Or man’s friend-

As something-

Holy,

That can-

Behold,

Beyond its given-shell:

Both the possibility,

And the beauty-

Of others--

Cost

They won’t uncover-

The truth,

 Nor will they-

Confess-

To their-

True intentions:

Which are to create-

Problems-Smallest made large-

To distract-

Consensus from:

What’s really-

Ailing them:

“They’re-

Failing-

Stale,

“unhappy” couples-

Pretending-

To be- Straight-

Just to stay-

Through means – 

Made-legal-

But

“unjust”

“illicit”-

Unconscionable-

Just to continue-In the same-

Dormant-

Stage-

As before,

(by robbing everyone else)-

But death-

Will ring-

Upon you,

And there-

Is no way-

Back-

Home,

Those who befriend-

For the fear-

Of drowning,

And for the-Sounds-of-music,

(My desire of women)

The shores-

Will close,

To your fates,

For you’re the-

Drifted-

Ferrous,

In the begin,

Malnourished-

Entangled,

(Barefoot)--

And Before-

Once came,Through-

The doors-

Tis was written-

Upon the walls-

Confirmed,

Before you-

Can arrive,

I walked-

With-

W

These, the only way-

Home, is the-Force (my name,)

Smell

The smell-

Of women-On women-

Up- Nined-

So Amazon-

So unfound,

Had to go-

Somewhere,

(It did)-

We sat on her/his-

Grounds,

Watched her moons-

In the horizon,

(Decelerated-

lumbering- orbit)-

A new brand-

Of physiology-Self-contained-

Declared-

Page 23: The Chronicles, Poems-4

7/31/2019 The Chronicles, Poems-4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-chronicles-poems-4 23/549

And we watched-

With eyes-of yes,

(And made love)-(But they favor one-another)-

And left smelling their way,

Jang

Come through— The doors of me,

Come through-

And remember:

There are endless-

Deserts on Andromeda-

Footprints of Earth-

And that you won’t-

Hear us well,

But you will come-

To berate,

(You’ve been by-

Then)-

And that you— 

Bring destruction-

To meet your end-(You have been called

there,)

For to raise a sword-

Against my names-

Is to never be again.-And that your false-

saints, are my sent,

for unless they’re-

covered in waste,

you won’t lie-

in that death-

less, bed,

your end.

Perfection

The path-

To perfection,

Is erroneous-

Illogical,

Made of tiny-

Events that-

Are:

Fortunate-

Tragic,

Accidental-

Seams,

Just to gather the-

Two permanent strides,

That are exclusive to you,

And The God above,For no-

Path to perfection is without,

(Us)-

And no river is complete-

Without yourself,

Proof 

I’m looking-

At the crests-

That build up-

A crime,

 Not the levers-

Of that whittle,

Those arms-

Move so-

Inordinately-

Out of time,

(Black-and-white),

I can see the shadowy-

Fogs, hang,

Trailing,Every single-

Act of evil,

For they’re-

Dished out,In fields-

Knowable-

(So Telling)-

Fields,

Left and right,

Fields in:

Closets,

Bedrooms,

Pigs-in-the-

Alcohol-rooms,

And no, I shall see-

More than carefully-

More than once, that -

You’re uncooled, by the-

Very frenzy you’re-Leaving-on so-

Unheeded-

Prove,

Africa, Africa

She won’t be-

Your henchmen’s-

She’s neither yours-

 Nor her selves-

To give,

She, is carved-

Of an entity-

Called:

LovedmeGod,

She is never-

Yours to keep,

 Nor yours to-

Rape from-

Afar,

She’s an— 

Endowment,

Of eternity,

Her planets-

Are as large-

As Jupiter-

And go – 

Around-

The Sun’s,

We were born there-

First, and loved more-

Than, you can perceive,

So listen:

“You can not wear my clothes-

nor ruin my harvest,

to bring me litters”-

“And never can you move-

my arms or legs-

unless Lords wishes”

 Not-alones,

When there are-Two gay men,

In attendance,

There’s the imminent,

Master and servant-

In a world unsettled-

Only by this-

Relationship,

Racism is born-

To blemish mirrors-

And hide-

Wonder,

Unquestioned,

But I only ask for you-

To share the world-

With others

(Not to deny you-

yourselves)-

And to love-

Your neighbor-

As I love him or her,

For You’re all sons of-

light, sons of the-

Her feet

She’s no more-

Than a fever-That comes and-

Goes, every so many-

Years or so-

Why?

Trust me nines’-

Sureness does-

 Never linger-

In fields of-

Unknowing-

Doubts,

Love’s a – 

Transformation,

That keepst me-

And I wear its-

Robe upon whereness-Of meet,

Upon therelessness-

Of hers feet,

(Its no highway)-

It torments me- Not,

With her limits,

(its always here)-

Love’s an inheritance-

That accompanies me,

I like to put its-

Shade upon anyone-

I (need)-

Its always for: another,

Its never so clever as:

And listen:: if Nine’s-

 Not-evened-

Out by verse, by two’s-

The words-

Aren’t revealed-

For your confirmation-

(But knowing)-

 Nor can they be-

Deceived-

Of their-

Meaning-They support-

The world-

Like bones-

Whether you-

Agree or not-

Isn’t our hold-

Them,Don’t yield-

One is so flawed-

The other’s-

Plenty,

Both nations are-

Ours,

We deal with them-

According to –

You jump the roofs-

While I crawl through-

The ditches-

Stung,

For they must see themselves-

As one of-

that’s not-

always keenly observable-whether you’re sitting on-

treasures, or born on the streets-

of loss,

and whether you call it abel-

cain or mother(mary)

they’re spirits who must watch-

their spires-

so closely- by being there(adorned)-

 just to insure-

the ditches leave-

one by one for-

house of god’s,

and come back-

Unharmed,

She

She equates love-

With receiving-

Alone,

So the giving-

Shall be delayed-

For no time-At all,

And tell them:

Page 43: The Chronicles, Poems-4

7/31/2019 The Chronicles, Poems-4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-chronicles-poems-4 43/549

The giving is frenzied-

By such love,

That the giving-And the receiving-

Shall be ignored-

For the very sake-

Of the beholders-

Who Sought,

 No Stream

I try not-to-

Make a spectacle-

Of disbelief:

But all may-

Be fair in love,

But not in war.If you behave like-

Savages and some animals-

Then, that river must rest upon-

Your soul, taketh you in,

You may tear and be torn-Upon as it- please, out of-

Consciousness’s realms, I have-

Infinite jungles for where you be-

But not here, not on my time, (which-

Is for all time) not amongst neither-

Man nor dolphins, never the dogs-

But that lowest bough-

“What’s: stream?”

Aman

From cats-

The more of it-

That it is-

To this story,Is the less, that-

I like to see,

Its not at all-

Creates itself,

Its just that-

Creation is-

One man’s seeds,

And the rest follow-

Structured-

Bellowing,

Sometimes oblivious-

But never at fault-

“Of its own”-

It isn’t that-

She needs to be-

Acknowledged,

Or discovered, Nor is she left-

Unmentioned by-

Whether she’s been,

Both to her own lure,

And grandiosity-

Of, to the surprise of-

Even birds who know-

Greatness

Finding relativity-

Is an unhappy-

Tail,

For absolute is-

Ir-relativity’s-Head,

Held,

And though finding-

 No absolution-

Is in his fate,

God is not an- only-

Exception to-

Hate,A pre-ponderous-

Unyielding thoughts-

Of love,

Yet,

Still remember:

Though teachers,

Sit on reservoirs-

Of information-

Which have them-

 No idea of what to-

Do with,

The students may yet,

And often do, what the-

Teacher-

May have only felt,And so it is with both-

Love-and-hate,

Though none is greater-

Than Gods-

Love,

Relativity-

Allows that-

di-pair,as in I am:

as good as God-

She’s been-

A daily-

Squandering-

Of un-love,

A daily pilgrim-

Of fits of-Rage,

And I’d go-

On the same-

Uneasy,

Untoward,

Way,

But for the-

Grievous notice:She may enjoy-

 Not being loved-

And the remorse-

Of having thus-

Been there!

Curtsied-

Spent,

Left-

But for unerring ness’s-

I have no other view-

But loving my-

Mother,

In somewhere- Near my house-

Which is-

Un-ironically-

Isforever,

And un-ironically so,

She appears in other-

Forms as my wife-

Later,And as my first or second-

Love,

Its all the same-

Make sure-

Its neither dislike-

 Nor quarrel,

Make sure the barrier-

Stands for what ‘they’ are,Make sure its one permanent-

Stream, make sure, the reasons-

Are permanently clear, to yourself,

Make sure she feels the same, about-

Coming too close, make sure the widow-

To this feeling can never be closed,

Make sure, Judges not just seen,

But felt, make sure this feeling,Isn’t abandoned by lust,

 Nor by pretty-

Appearances,

Make sure,

There’s-

 Neither,

Hate-

 Nor,

And you’ve been there-

And three of Abel’s Men,Shall rise against us again,

But with the Bears under-

Your wings, we shall-

Surrender them to-

Our savior,

And then abel’ backs-

Wanted to enter where-

Alone gods are allowed,And I asked the Cain’s,

The world is full-

Of whispers-

Loud and slight,

The loudness is-

Always meant-For death, and-

Certain kind-

Like the plague,

Like the stabbing-

Or: “ this ain’t

But: All neighbors-

Breathe into-

Rich or poor,

Out of ennui,

Or fright,

Will collapse on-

Someone’s walls,

Out in the ruins-

Or mansions-Of the night,

And anyone can fall-

Because: Loudest are nearly-

All out of light (sight)-

But only the righteous-

To the very notion-

That opposites may-Hope,

I see you in the-

Bazaars, and malls,

Waiting to be ushered-

In by the very -

Smell of your-

Own concave,

By the very notion-

That “can’t”

Is not a sin no more,

But I didn’t make it a sin,

It’s the dark matters’ unwritten-

Voice:

‘That much of same-

Can’t hold,It can’t begin,

 Nor can it be-

It can never become the-

Life that’s begotten-

Me,”

So go away once more-

And leave the women-

Where they are,

Leave them to-

The freedom of-

What’s love,

Leave them to find their-

Eve’s voice,

For its embedded in them-Free of choice,

Freer than some-

For the tyranny of men-

Mad men,Backs in fronts,

Men,

The power grabbing-

Exclusive club-

Hatred-men,

Have created-

Legions of scarred-

People-Who have forfeited-

Their rights,

To be ;

Mothers

Sisters,

Sons,

Lovers of-

All kind,

 Not to please the cash whores,

But to survive enough-

To watch those backs-

Fold,

Into the black holes,

In surrender-

By war,

By acts after commands-For their foils,

Whereupon,

Death has only become-

Those who-

May never-

Come back,

When Death’-

Just a transitional-Home for changing-

Hosts for-

The rest of them,

But for those who leave,

With neither dust,

 Nor a return,

In sight,

For their shadowy light’s-

Has been abolished-

By words,

By the gravitation-force,Because I don’t judge-

Just by your deeds,

But too, by your-

Thoughts, and-

Feed,

By the very anticipation-

That you’ll do more harm,

Than good,There the man-holes are laid upon-

Every river for keeps,

So no light of hatred souls,

Can escape, and become-

Another’s-

Un-hoping-

Dreams,

Somewhere A.D.

When we get a chance at them,

With their sads and their guns,Their rested ships invented-

By us,

In their sainted beds-

By our own older kin-

The newly armed,

The voice of apparition-

Had been the eldest son’,

When the shepherdess and-I shall die un peacefully-

Amongst her stars,

The big dipper-

Is hoarding-

The sycophants on,

And she’s born amongst-

The deserts for the detection-

Of their sound-

When the other dipper is my mom,

For the acts of leaving them-

Entirely out,

For their sins against my names-

And ours,

And for the thoughts in their backs-Are irredeemable,

Un returnable,

When so many neighborhoods-

Are unsound,

All you have to do, make certain-

We are-

Found,

Meat

Take as much as you can have,

Its largest waves ever came-

Through and we were all-

Taken,

Women walked-

With long fearsome-

Faces,

Large thickened- Nails,

They weren’t really certain-

Of themselves,

And why the men’s glances-

 Never met their owns,

The children were furious-

For unknown reasons,

And fearful of going-

To the bathrooms alone,

And everything hurt-

Everyone rushed-

For someone else’s-

Turn,

The men’s bellies stank of-

Vomit of hormones and booze-

In them-

(dehumanizing,)The taste of their fathers-

Fathers meat-

Would be as unfamiliar as-

A woman’s scent-

This stuff makes your soul-

Black and blue child,

Bruised like a beaten-

Faces’,And you’ll forget to wonder:

“Why you can never-

Look ahead without-

Worrying pasts’-

Unchangeable-

Weight,”

And why God seems-

Like a distant-

 Never comprehending-

Terrain,

Why nothing reaches the-

Dimmed light-

Inside your fates:

“the bowels of universes-

clean yourselves now,”(Such deaths,)

And why you only wanted-

On somewhere-

They pretend-

And somehow,

This reduces-Turbulence-

Of the turns-

I make along-

This hap hazardous road,

The pavements aren’t-

Crowded by curtsies-

Or sniper fire,

By the claimant-

To houses of each-

By virtue less ness’s-

Votes,

Through my glasses,

So dozens can close-

Everywhere else’s-

Road

We shall put the-Great twist on-

The meaning ness,

By the end of-

The day-

The infinite halo-

Of carving-

The future,

Out of now,The unreasonable,

Out of much reasoned-

With,

Doing away with what-

You’ve been-

Taught,

And getting away with-

What the truth is-

And has always-

Been so,

For the mere sake-

Of the muted horses,

The calves of the unborn,

For the appeasement to the-

Silence of things,The greats yet-

Unknowns,

And to know the words-Aren’t by abandonment-

Of purpose, nor by-

The weakness of-

The force,

They’re never,

Meant to divide-

 Nor to dissemble-

But to deliver the blind-

Back onto the-

Road traveled,

Attraction

Light and matter-

Are attracted to one another,

Like no other call,

But tis attraction is to her vibes,

Is exclusive to their souls,

And they are women-

They have men in their thighs,

They have men waiting with-Their follicles been missing,

For there is so heavy handed-

It falls and erodes-

By the way side,

By the non-existing floors,

And if the rape of children-

And the pillage don’t soon close,

The heads of women shall lose,

Their ties of men-

For the sinnest most-

Means: the heaviest tolls,

Been un-carrying-

Coming for you-

Shall be so much-

Worse,

If you don’t-

Comprehend the-

Washing their feet-

And yours, in redemption,

In reconciliation-

And ours is-

Suddenly beautiful,

And I’m fond of calling-

Her by my name,

And telling them she’s my-Mother-

 Now,

And wife-

In 500 hundreds-

Years or so,

And they call me theirs-

Like its an insult,

Like I don’t know-

My own fame,

And Mary calls-

Want to come into-The sail,

By sliding into the-

In front,

The tails are-

Almost nearly gone,

But for clusters-

Of harvest-

Weeds,

(The un forgivable s,)And I slowly wonder why my-

Shadow looks the opposite-

Of how I feel,

I must be walking like-

Strange men do,

Polished,

With hints of muscles-

As ropes,

As loaves-

‘Colors,’Like I’ve learned the science of-

Shorelines,

By having been immersed in-

Her wait,

For having thus broken loose-

Against plumes-

Of envy,

And the brush color movements-Are like silk,

For the tenements of her,

Fiber are so-

Fined,

And somewhere for-

Every boy-

And girl-

There’s a fairy,

Looking always above-

Her waistline to-Find life’s-

With kindness,

Or warmth,

Another wears the-Keepers tattoos-

On right arm-

And complains-

Of being-

Un-Noticeable,She doesn’t seem-

To mind disjointed-

 Ness,

And the frame of her-

Breasts in my-

Glasses-

Are by attrition-

Worn everyday,

And I rather be-

Delivering-

Someone else-

All along the-

Watch towers-

To another,She’s my other-

Home,

Page 143: The Chronicles, Poems-4

She’s someone I can concretely-

Love only-

 Not alone,

Premonition

There’s nothing really-

To worry,

Permanence here-

Means changes in everything-

Over there,

The how of eyelid-

Is the bow-

Of your wait,

Who could forget-

The pool’s dancing-

Over your graves-How you chose-

The virgin-

Darkness,

Over the-

Holiest--Snakes-

There:

Aren’t no,

Isn’t yes,

Weren’t-

Beginning-

 Never s-

End,

Thus: its neither-

 Nor-

 Not,

The light-

In escapable-Rein,

There’s no losing-

The flaw-

Was the-Kept-

Surprise,

Whence it is-

The bread of-

My body-

The light of-

My heart-

Who shall not-

Want,

 Not want,

The glare?

Whilst the-

Stones-of-

Stones-

The reluctant-Worms,

Are the-

Taut,

Deft,

Ungovernable-By cant,

By un-merriment-

Of all creature-

Timed,

And timelessness,

There’s no unmeasured-

Voice-

 Nor without an intimate-Moments-

Haste,

 Never without livingness’-

Most-

And gleeful-

Hours,

 Never without doors-

Of his and hers,

 Never without mine-

Dispersed,

In layers-And layers-

Of faith-

In rhymes-

Fields,

Wealth-

Of tongues-

Come together-

For this two-

Usefulness’-

 Needs,

And songs,

 Never without your-

Vibrations-

My own judgment-

Of their source-

Its needs to come,

 Never Abandoning-The most-

Vulnerable-

 Never without my own-

Judgment- Never without-

Tis voice-

Clocks

Since their systems-

Been overhead-

Like a bent-

Skillet-

In the skies-

The oil chieftains-Been pushing their-

Who is mine-

Always-mate,

Around,They’re usually-

Incensed-

I want to tell-

Her,

In a modern stride,

In a way that-

The chiefs can understand-

Before their-

Wayfarer-

Deserted days-

Come around,

This isn’t but for repose-

For recollection – 

Of much needed strength-

In God’s-Force,

To run through the-

Quagmires ahead,

Un-touchable-

If worse,For when your lights go down-

The bears will eat you alive-

For their mother-

Is same-

As ours-

From time-

To-

Time,

And the black girls sing-

Along,

To the street-

On their way to outer schools-

Like the news of-Bullying their mother-

Has plunged into-

Their souls-

Like bells-

Of a meet,Like any break up of her-

Trust shall not be born-

Of their seeds,

And the Abel girl ahead of them-

Is dressed in peach,

Today,

And she wants so-

Much to forgive-My own unfaith-

In hers,

And I sing to refuse-

Abatement of my-

Sins if any-Until-

Africa is-

The home-

Of the-

Leered,For the power-

Of the love-

Makings’-

Redemption-

Shall not-

Be lost to-

Us,

For the longing-Of her keeps-

Must not be-

So many-

Years-

Apart,

(to appease her god-

who is me,)

Birth of two

I came out-

Page 156: The Chronicles, Poems-4

7/31/2019 The Chronicles, Poems-4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-chronicles-poems-4 156/549

Looking for a team-

Head out first-

Hands clasped-Gazing at her-

Toes-

Thinking I’ve been-

Around Sirius-B’s-

Many times-

Before,

And I looked-

Like a giant dwarf-Compact, and-

Well lit-

As lord,

And with the many-

Perseus wings-

There and-

Then I-

Should have wished:I can’t be pulling-

On medusa’s hair-

 No more,

But I were to-

And it happened-

And her body came home-And startled everyone-

By her looks-

Page 157: The Chronicles, Poems-4

7/31/2019 The Chronicles, Poems-4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-chronicles-poems-4 157/549

And her innocence-

Ways-

And woes,And I looked for-

The company of-

Others,

And they preached,

And with a tongue-

Of soaps-

I repeated-

Everything I heard-On those streets,

And there was no more-

Than billions seeds,

I Planted,

On crinkled seas,

In between,

And I looked amongst-Them,

For congregations-

In the office,

Behind-

The kitchen counters-By mothers-

By lovers,

Its also Sabbath:

Meaning they can’t-

Quite believe,

That cosmos-

Must cleanse-

Itself-Of wrongs-

By any-

Means,

 Necessary-

Which isn’t to say:

They weren’t forewarned-

Moses is myself-

And by the-Shoulder-

Of every dawn-

There were voices-

Of strife-

From the-

Being-Saved,

(And every blooming day,)

Perhaps there are punishments-

For the lack-

Of faith,(though I’m not a-

 punisher,)

The drums are-

The trumpets,

The cows can be-

And the patrons,

Of petrified-

Gravity,The being targets-

Of scorn,

The blessed-

Patterns-

Of-

Powerless,

(felt across so many-

faces,)Dare to be-

The age of scars

All along the-

Watchtowers,

The abed-And caned-

All the deviously-

Unmet,

They each wanted his-

Or her-Way,

And to rise above the-

Judgment-

Of those who-

Care,

But the branches-

Held steady-

As the lord,Himself,

Revelations became whispers-

In the wind,

Things that could not-

Have been explained,

Slowly-

Became everyone’s-

Verse,The mutiny,

The wars,

The discords-

In between the-

Stretched out-

Parts,

The wantonness-Of wanting,

The disparity-

Of in needs,

The fathers-

And mothers

Torn,

Apart,

 No one fasted- No one knew how,

The face of reality-

Became a gigantic scar,

The portrait-

Of eternal-

Hushed,

And abandoned-

And reclaimed-Every moment-

By the acts,

Of the-

Heart-

Babylon

They got me on fast-

Food,

They got her-

On speed,

The resulting weather-Struck them-

Out-

Until we meet,

In 4000 years-

Or more,

For the-

Gathering-

Of seventh-Heaven-

And 13-

Horns,

Where the Daniels-

Car breaks down-

At four,

The-

Crossroads-Of boundaries-

Tooled-

Closer than ever,

Clearer than spring-

Where the age of-Innocence-

Is holding-

When I couldn’t walk-

Or physically crawl, Near the-

Glimpses-

Of in between-

Right and-

Wrong,

Over the camps-

Of all-

Therein,Moving with-

Me,

The ships-

Of nine-

Winds-

In 56 years of-

Relentless-

Persuasion-Over what must ascend-

Them all-

Into heavens-

And higher homes of-

The spirits, Noble and young-

Into not but too long-

Tortuous walk upon these lands-

I have yet to come-

Upon straight women and men,

And I shouldn’t be raising-

An objection,-

To this disparity,And otherwise-

 Nations of-

Violence,

Disarray-

Marks,

But for the very truth-

That the-

Biggest tormentors-Are gay-

Themselves,

Secretly,

Though openly object-

And violate-The rights-

Of gay-

And straight-

Men and women-

All ,For in clubs and-

Members only-

Stalls:

They think they’ve-

Found the-

Keys-

To everlasting-

Wealth-And power,

And feel-

Invulnerable-

But to gods-

Will,

And that’s-

Where I-

Come from,To never dissuade any-

From his or her way-

If un harmful-

To self-

And others-

But to end-

This violation-Of reality-

This escapable-

Burden-

Of unwillingness-

To share the truth-And exist within-

Its walls,

 Never meant to change your ways,

But that you mustn’t be raped-

Or bullied in and out of-

Yours,

And-

Ours,

Amen

Its never given-

 Nor is it-Asked for-

Its to creation-

As daylight is-

To day,

As darkness is-

As water is-

To purity-As innocence-

To the-

As valor is-

To war-

As love is-

To the-Beloved-

As existence-

The youngish-

Older woman-

Mexicana,

Indian,

Sleepwalks the gardens-Sweeping the leaves by the-

Front porch,

She sings like she’s known-

Of all of this before-

Of how it began-

How it ended-

Whether the,

Mothers of hers-

Bore its fruitions-

Whether her quick-

Steady movements-

Were made-

Out-

Of these grounds-

Smaller-Than home,

Large as-

The Height

You know:

Its not so much that-

They’re-

Unfriendly-

And cantankerous out here-

(to you and I,)Its that they’re--

Stuck in holes-

Unmovable by law-

Or love’s hold-

For the many seasons--

Of neglect-

And abuse-

In the hands of-

Kin,

And strangers’-

Alike,

And approach ours too,

By the way-

Their eyes been-

So thwarted by-The loss’s-

And for the briefness of-

Hope,

And the distances-In between-

Lost and found,

In between-

The rights and the-

Wrong,

Its just that they’re

All nights-Here,

And the daylight is-

Barely visible,

For their weights-

Sum,

(is what’s holding-

me,

in place,)

Are these suns-

But they shall see-

Us in the awakening of-

Words,

In the ways of the-

Father-

The son,And the holly-

Ghost,

Raised by love

My absent mother’s eyes-

Are the palest green-

From knotted-

Hills-

Of-

Affectionate-Grins-

Lest her-

favorite besides,

 Not be drown by their-

Woes,

Which-

Unbeknownst-

To them,

Should leave them-

Without any-

Carriage or,

Home,

(If forever shall waiver,)

For what carries them-

Undeterred,Unaltered-

Of one--

Means-Or-

Persuasion,

Led into-

Are our willingness-

Hopes

Hope is not a square-

Meal-

And a beer,

It’s the outlines-Of my existence-

That’s-

Drives-

You and-

The promises-

And suddenly-The TV chef-

Is coming out-

Of a house-

Up the street-

Where my little-

Sister lives-

Where today I got-

The soul food-

She said she hadn’t-

Cooked-

But my spirit did-

With the slice of-

Corn bread,

And a drink-

Of black tea-Leaves,

 Next we passed by-

The happy elder-

Couple-

Exchanging gifts-In my dreams-

And everything-

Moving-

With bits of-

Silence-

Restored-

Mixed,

And then the helicopter-

Flies by low and slow-

Across the Budlong-

Vortex of hope,

The voice of the-

Pilot says-

“18,”

He means the clocks-

Turning-

The Abel’s men leave-

The next 18-

Are safety dance-

Feast,He means there’s-

Coffee and bread-

Tomorrow-

He means mine-

Won’t-Be poisoned,

Again-

By their-

Seeds,

He later says:

“He set themselves-

Into the fires,”-for:

Peace,

Much later then I-

 Noticed-

Perfection-

Wasn’t above-

Or far-

But only here-

Instead,

And I changed the name of-

The-

Poem-

To reflect this-

Any clothes I wear-My left-

Is for the celebration of-

All the-

Silence made loud

And this day was a Sunday-

February fifth,

And three young-

Men were lined-

By the side our street,

Dressed in vibrant-

Colors-

I thought:

If they weren’t abused-

Or molested-

I’m contend-

With their-

Want for themselves-

And other men,And it must be-

That they-

Page 188: The Chronicles, Poems-4

7/31/2019 The Chronicles, Poems-4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-chronicles-poems-4 188/549

Hadn’t been-

For they turned-

To the road- straight-And whispered:

“Cristo,”

Meaning I was on my-

Way,

And the food-

Shall never be-

Poisoned-

In their names-

But the shepherdess’-

Appetite-

For money had become-

Destructible-

In my life and-

Hers,

And an eternity’-

Measure-Of love and-

Care-

Page 189: The Chronicles, Poems-4

7/31/2019 The Chronicles, Poems-4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-chronicles-poems-4 189/549

Had been left-

By her, and her-

Spirits’-Boxes-

Strayed-

So I told them,

If the food is ever-

Inverted again,

They shall never-

Be able to have-

Any of my names-

And they made-

Way,

For theirs-

Been-

Kept-

And loved-

For so long,

So Long

And still-The food was-

Poisoned again,

And it was the-

Abel’s men-

Who had-

Molested-

And I made it that-

Wars and strife-

Exist-

In between and-

Amongst them-

Until,

Everyone of-

Them has-

Left,Drink, be drunk.

And vomit,

Page 191: The Chronicles, Poems-4

Left-

For there aren’t but one-

Direction-

When every jamming-

Scream:

Soft as silk,

Still:

I want to-

See-

The misshapen nails,

And,

Brings- No flowers to-

My dreams,

Just piggish hands,

Holding up noisy-

Ceilings,

“that fall with-

or without-

them”And I want to thank her,

I want to be thanked,

But there’s been love,

So every mouthful-

Has been renewed-

By something-

Great (inside,)

I want to complain of not being-

The only one-(for her,)

And here I win,

‘Come on over me,’

Feelings (in me,)

The faithfulness of:

Unsure of-

And were made so much-Less certain-

By-

The scents-

Of our lust,

Which have a way-

Of permeating-

Dust-Of a meet,

Are bolder-

I want to ask the-

Peach girl,

On the sidewalks,Almost every morning,

If her feet are as large-

As they seem

In the black-and-

White shoes-

That never match-

The frailty-

Of her face,The lark of-

Her hands,

Moving around the-

Waist,

Hoisting up weights-

Of trousers-

In jeans,

Then:Dismissing them,

With the slight of-

Thinly fingers,

Arched-

Like breasts,

Restless-

As thoughts-

Of wings-

Though restraint-

 Never leaves her faces-

Irresistible-

Thrills,

Yesterday she had a young-

With her,

“we’re walking the-smell-

of Africa together,”

He dreams with-

Their tall-

Youth,

And breathes out-

Their bread,

(And the seeds roar by-My feet,)

Today, I wondered-

If the waters-

Should run-

By her spirits-

“Her chords-

Sound like chains,

And her thighs-Aren’t so womanly-

And desirable as yours,”

 Not brittle-

 Nor fertile-

For rain,

‘But here’s me,

In her,

Too,’

The lesbian moms-

Insisting on-

Pancake make-ups,

The queens-

Of daytime-

Crooked, Nighttime-

 Nine-6

The Amy across the-

Street-

Tries hard not to smile at all,

With whispering averted eyes,For I try to woo her tenderly-

With my vertical-

Voice,

I find her familiar as a stroke,

(I want to be kept by her strides,)

(The way she urges all to follow her home,)

And its really us, she’s trying not to smile at,

Its been us-

In the shades of all times reverently closed,

(We must be married, we must be lovers,)

We must be generous echoes of:

“Those who nestle kindness-

are forever,”

She became the shape of the woman with torch,

And everyday I try to draw her impressions,Her clothes-

In those abstracted colors of adored,

Like a brazen man-

Who can’t give up-

To the geometry-

Of any other-

Loves-

(And I know it must be me who wants to possess

her,)

And I know tis desire is the news of the world--

Don’t repeat the-

Through the stone,-

Their tirades-

Like a woman-

Engraved by lust-For two-

Stretch along Budlong-

In the shadows-

They’re surrendered by dogs-

By their smell of aggregation-

By own feelings of separation-

They meet her again and-

Again in slumber,

But clocks awaken them-To their cats paws-

I consult the voice-I consult a librarian-

Who tolls:

“Herds of men still walk by-

wanting to hear if their ships

“You got it,”

I asked repeatedly,

The woman is clueless as to-The redundancy of explanations-

Their exclusion of all things:

My having been a physicist and a-

Poet perpetually-

I mean: “How would details like-

The big Dippers legs, have to do-

With her breasts permanency, which-

Are a phenomenon more artful than – Almost anything-

And that her lips and fingertips not-

Been seen-

Tomorrows’ news-

Ruffled the neighbors-Daughter, or sister-

I’m never sure which,

She’s old enough to be-

Anyone, anything-

(She has this nocturnal breathing,)

That boasts of firmness and flowers,

For she slept open arms in my folder-

The cows must begetting tired of-Slaughter, and becoming drizzle-

As the Jews wonder (unsuccessfully,)

She left with this bright thread of-

Yearning for poetry and her other chairs,

Which are divided unevenly across America-

And other fields of red, and white,

Unevenly I said-

Because they’re supposedly waving-Stillness’ exiles-

Into her pockets,

Accepting their-

Terms of surrender,

Against the keen-Sources of love-

Can still breathe her wings-

But she ignores every bit-

Of this truth:

Like abandonment or love-

Don't reap or are too late,

I like to blind myself with— 

Their affection-

The peach-and-blue-

Girl,

Is very familiar,

On some days I-

Bow to her,

Like a king-Like she can’t be-

Misunderstood,

For being Abel-

Has been-

And is no sin,

(It’s the unquiet hide-

Of the her bed-less,)

(The stones’ run-

Is a slow march-

Onto defeat,)

And she guards that-

As well as myself-

As well the Cain’s-

As well the motions-

Of Every moving body-In through our streams-

“Those who don’t submit-

Page 273: The Chronicles, Poems-4

to God’s rules, can not-

Seek shelter by my rivers-

For these rivers, are beds to-His feet,”

And soon as I’m done bowing to-

The peach ness of her lips-

The glow of her cheeks-

A slow blow of wind-Brings the smell-

Of dense hair-

Off Has-

Been-

Rotting-

Teeth (change you food please,)

(And I rebuke her everyday-

Almost.

For-

Attaching such enormous-

Weight-

To her keep,)

And she doesn’t remind me of-

Yesterdays,

(And some days she walks like only tomorrow,-Could hold so many promises-

Of our release,)

By her sane-

By her kneel-appealing-Peaks,)

Tomorrow

They want to come-up,

For air everyday-

So there are beggars along-

The road-

Unkempt women with long-Long-nails,

And hit men sent by the rich-

The nights are guarded by-

Tomorrow,

You of today-

(Oh, so very, very old,)

Want to harm me-

You of tomorrow-

(The new golden you,)

Are here just for the-

Protection of the Lord-

Why-

But I tell you again and again-Their crimes against infants-

And young boys and girls-

Arte known to all of-

Us,

Its Cain or Abel’s’-

That none has a home or shelter-

Under the skies or without them-

Ever,

 None can be led by light-

Or its complete absence-

Or left foot (Abels,)

Their act must continue to leave the-Tribes responsible out from-

Under-

My world,

Whether millions of them into wars-

Or wards,

Mice or vermin,

Every movement must mean-

That Lord:

“They shall be no longer,”

For if we can’t protect our children-

And youngsters,

We refuse to be offered doors-

For the safekeeping of our clusters,

And that we shall tell them-

That in the eyes of lord,

Teens have their own minds and-

Hearts to wonder,

But to release any human-

Being out of its innocence’s-

Thunder,Is to not belong to this world-

Of ours-

Eighth Melody

I want my poems-With you,

And I want to-

Consummate them-

With you,

After each early morning-

Coffee-

Breathing-

After the men’s shadows-

Fallen through the cracks-

In the threadbare,

After they’ve exhausted calling-

Us by any other names than-

Faith-

On the endless carpet-

Of forms-Where your straight legs-

Come and go-

Of six-fists,

Or scents of pale murky-

Bread-(Gone deathly stale,)

On my plump mattresses-

Bought off my neighbors-

For 50 wintry, fateful dollars-

Once we’ve climbed the stairs-

So the heaven too can easily-

Wonder:

The secret settlements-Of his spells,

Of the gratification-

Springs-beds-

Already-

Made,

(And of the powers of your seduction,)

On days she was absent by-Meandering empty handed-

Up and down the aisles-

Hokms

First started with all the-Beelzebubs left-

From long ago,

“They don’t even know-

What century they’re in,”

Then came the extra-weight,

From 6000 After my Birth,

And they too had the refuse-

With them,

Then the verses went around-

Like questions-

Like love notes,

Like commands--

And they knew their-

Waves were caught in,

By the straightness-Of the news-

And their keepers’-

And the lazy ignorance-

Took hold of their-

Brains-And their thoughts-

Had been placed-

At the wrong ends-

And the men-

Wanted their sodden-Ways unchanged,

Which wouldn’t do-

But their best acquiesced-

For their own sake-

And the sake of the women--

And children,

(And stayed,)

But the hardest-

Hit,

Were always the ones-

That listened to no one-

Else,

So they left with-

The snakes and their-

Waste,And won’t be back-

Until every due has been-

To all of our names-

And in the name-Of all illness’-

Riddance,

Left-or-Right

All the commands against-

Them,

Went out-

Because you went after-

Someone meek,

And innocent,

And when warned you-

 Never hesitated-

(Your ass is in your brain,)

And you went after my name,

And you’re short for-

Lack of benevolence,

You’re short for-

Lack of generosity-For absence – 

Of any residues-

Amongst-My births,

Thus you shall not-

Be reborn,

You may not return to the-

Same health-

Or comfort,

As before,

I’ve laid out the tiers one-

By one,

 Name by name,

Your fate are as-

Your deeds and-

Thoughts been for-

All of my time and hers,

And I’ve seen the last of you-

The pillars of your lost graves-

Weren’t singled out-

For shortness of stature- Nor breath,

But for the scarcity-

Of vision-

To see that my coming-

Has mostly been for your-

Salvation-

And sake,

Tell them your men-Have ass buried-

Deep into their brains-

This causes violation-

Of children and women-

Across every human race,

Tell them your women-

Are wanton,

And deeply scarred by-

Friction waste for-

Their lust after themselves,

Tell them receiving their heat-

Will not be put upon-

Any other noble scent,

Tell them these words,

Are irreversible-

And await only-Prayers submitted-

Verses are given by Gabriel who is me-

So they suffer for rejection of all-

Women-kind,

And without safety of women-There are no safe children at all,

Rostam my father-

Goes to sleep-

With his expires of abes’-Here,

Where life has infinite,

Time,

I woke him in 4000-

Years,

Where I’m the son of Cains-

As a young man,

(Thus the Starwars,

Are true, the cinema created-

So you talk to yourselves then-

Because you exist like voluptuous-

Plants,)

He brings the extra weight-

Back to the beginning-

As the end,And hooshang carries the weight-

But my name there-

Has to destroy the-Weight,

Because they’re one-

Long, thick-

Shadow-

Of – 

Violence-

Upon his fathers’-

Brethren,

And the father must kill-The sun,

Because I give my-

Life,

To plant new forms of-

Life,

On my mother (Mary’s) hands-

And the fruition goes back in time too,

Because the future always determines the-

Past (fast,)

Thus infinity is repeatedly-

Anchored in its-

Haste,

My way is always the-

Plan,)

Abels are barred-

From marrying onto-

My names for 400 years,Or more, for breaking the-

Trust, bestowed, and instead-

 Nines over their net, must set-

Forth, for thus they shall not-

Be abandoned at all, but kept-

At a distance, without lights-

Immediacy, which reveals too:

They’ve covered themselves-

in their own waste (food)-and,

can only slowly be driven out,’

(change your food or fast now)-

And if the trust is broken again:

It means the doors of heaven-

Closes to her names’ marriage-

As well, for 100 years or so,And this must be adhered-

To, before their new name is-

The closure of Abels to my Names is forever--

Has taken flight,

Into the forms-

That recede with-

Weight-

Into-

Home,

By wings that rise-Out-

Of the ashes-

Of every soul-

Of the wronged-

Into my windowpane,

Into that ponderous wait-

In the square panels-

Of time-and-space,

You: who don’t belong-

Don’t exist,

Unless your repentance has been-

Received-

By each and every one-

Of my names,

Until this dwarf-Ignorant-

Proliferation-

Has been stopped-

Until the geometry-

Of the errant numbers-

From ten directions-

Been built into-

Holes of:

 Neither vibration-

 Nor pulse,

Or loves a motion

You don’t like me,

You don’t like mary-

From this point out-

There’s no one-

Left to approve-

Or dislike-

Everyone is born to eve(mary)-

(To exist-or-not,)

Thus every possible state-

Is ours--

Everyone comes from-

My feet and apart-

From my right-

(Its wrong,)(though there’s right-

in both-right-or-wrong,)

You can’t like-

Or love yourself-

Without an object-Outside of you,

Apart from me:

(There’s none,)

You’re left without-

What we thrive on,

Being loved-

By someone-

For whom-We run-

Loves a motion-(an-orbit,)

And unless you care-

For the miracles-

I brought,

I shall leave you-

Expiring in-the-

Trembling-Hands-of-

Time,

Without this church-

Without Two-

You don’t come back-

You don’t come back in-

One piece,

You don’t come back with-

Dignity or work-

That befits,

 Not unless you’ve surrounded-

Yourself-

With good deeds-And good thoughts,

Upon which you are-

My church,

24 hours a day-

Seven days a week,And nothing can tear us apart--

Belong

Everyone must belong-

To someone,

Even I belong-

Most:

To nine-

To mary-

To ables-

Without tis virtue-

What of desire-

What of the very-

 Notion-

Or right-And wrong,

Belonged,

The sacrament of being born,The sleepy morning,

My love is a building-

With belonging-

There’s no threat on ripeness-

 No prison or injury-

Of innocence,

 No belly marching-

Through,

Weary agony,

 No withered-

Time-

Lost-Grace-

And perfect deaths-

Dance only (Japan: 2850 A.D.)

I mean to cross-

What I’ve conceived as love-In between a man and a woman,

In between-

Generous hands-

And marble grounds,

From the heights of-

The yellow land-

(mines home,)

By salmon pink,And wine,

For her brown-

Curled tresses are long,

And tied with a bow-

On the left-

Hand side,

Where her painted soft fingers-

(her hands are suddenly beautiful,)

Direct a window-

In to her-

Side,

To where what she call-

’Noghteh,’

Keeps us in strides:

That are now-More-

And more-

By the light of-

Love-(In her colors of pale green,)

cherry-red-

And I know I’ll-

Travel the full-

Course of this as any eternal-

Thing,

When she comes-

My possession will-Take form-

By her will,

And by any door-

That leads to her keeps-

And then she can conjure-

Us up with or-

Without a body-

That her loves-Was planted-

By these-

Words-

And seeds,

And are renewable by hers only-

In times,

I don’t care-

How close you’re to-

Your own,

How similar,

Your likes and preferences,

Or whether all of you are-

The sames-Or straights,

In tribes-

On moons-

Earth or any other-

Planet,

Your spirit hears-

And knows-

The inclusion of-All others,

Physically present-

Safe,

Their eyes of mirrors-

(Amidst your scents,)

Your souls shall-

Feel the heap-And the shout-

Of this enormous absence-

And your own shall feel-

Deaf-

And your own shall feel-

Blinded,

The ones I love-

You exist,

Laughter out-

Along with the foliage-

Along with the sense’s-

Along with the-Innocence-

Glance of the-

End,

The red men and-

Women,Can consume more backs-

(meat,)

Because they turn it into-

Something other-

Than what the ables-

Can,

But the abes never listen-

So the cains turn-Murderous,

For the heat is-

Unbearable-

Unforgivable-

Sans rest,

And the sea itself-

Feeds on unconscionable-

Men,(With this sailor at its helm,)

Turns them into other-

Knots,

Sometimes,

There’s no more-

To understand,

Than the perpetrators-

Of heinous acts,

Are fully to blame,

For their constitution-For their temperance,

And for insight-

Must always mean-

Prevention-

And if we sin-

Or falter,

Acts of redemption-

Must be interminable-And shining forth-

Always,

Warning others not to-

Betray,

And to reek of heaven-

Only,

And to speak of love-

Alone,

The changes are begun,

I can feel it,

And though I avoid mirrors,

Like a religion-

(Each has been a successive-

catastrophe,

since the broken nose (no's,)

Since the wounds of carrying-

Everyone across,)Yesterday-

Serene knowledge:

The miracles (farad) are entering-The seems,

And I look more like-

My right foot (Pam's)

And much younger,

So, I can be made-

To remember-

The whole again,

That though the-

Fragments-

Change for-

Relativity,

The crown is always in-

Heaven-

Whichever way the shores waver in-

And that out of every darkness-Death, or injury-

Privacy-

Intimacy-Close,

By my spirits or flesh-

Both mean:

Longings,

Based on feelings-

Based on future-

And the past-

But driven by want-For love,

In now-

Driven by a longing-

That begins or ends-

On love,

The edge of each meet-

Is greened-

By eyes-By yes,

By her shoulders-

By my thrust,By her feet,

By her hands,

That turn to the-

richness of her-sound,

By lust,

(When lust is inseparable-

From all,)

It begins as so much-

And it ends just-

To start,

(By depth-of loss,)

Though by me-

By us,

Its been what-

The entire world-

Wants-

From us-The hearts’ retrieving waves-

Smiles-

Dreamingly-

Only I know what exists-

And what-

And all the plants and all the animals-

And all the air you breathe, and all that-

Lays upon your tables, and all that shall-

Occupy you in your youth, and hold you-

Abels are barred-

From marrying onto-My names for 400 years,

Or more, for breaking the-

Trust, bestowed, and instead-

 Nines over their net, must set-

Forth, for thus they shall not-

Be abandoned at all, but kept-

At a distance, without lights-

Immediacy, which reveals too:

They’ve covered themselves-

in their own waste (food)-and,

can only slowly be driven out,’

(change your food or fast now)-

And if the trust is broken again:

It means the doors of heaven-

Closes to her names’ marriage-As well, for 100 years or so,

And this must be adhered-

Sure’-

I found your-

Great body,(and touched it,)

First By the breaking-

Of all clocks-

By the wounds,

Down-

By the castle,

Off the pyramid-

Shape,Minarets-

Of my father-

By the terrible-

One’s-in he-

Morning,

By the telescope’s-

Unremitting-

Sirens,Then by hands of-

Pablo Neruda-

Insisting-

You’re-

Gay,

(I listened-

 but should have-

known better,)

Because I met-

Your great-Body,

On the way-

To discover-

Love,

To form wave less ness’s-

Bonds,

And you were there-

Again,Without the-

Same-

Familiar-

Smile,

But leaping-

Us-

Out-

Of – Bodies-

Like Venus mating-

Mars,

With steadier-

So Long

And still-

The food was-

Poisoned again,

And it was the-

Abel’s men-

Who had-

Molested-

And I made it that-Wars and strife-

Exist-

In between and-

Amongst them-

Until,

Everyone of-

Them has-

Left,Drink, be drunk.

And vomit,

Until none’s-

Left-

The sword left-

You,

Is of-Ours,

Acts-John II

And suddenly-

The TV chef-

Is coming out-

Of a house-

Up the street-

Where my little-

Sister lives-

Where today I got-

The soul food-

She said she hadn’t-

Cooked-

But my spirit did-

With the slice of-Corn bread,

And a drink-

Of black tea-

Leaves,

 Next we passed by-The happy elder-

Couple-

Exchanging gifts-

In my dreams-

And everything-

Moving-

With bits of-

Silence-Restored-

Mixed,

And then the helicopter-

Flies by low and slow-

Across the Budlong-

Vortex of hope,

The voice of the-

Pilot says-

“18,”

He means the clocks-

Turning-

The Abel’s men leave-The next 18-

Are safety dance-

He means there’s-

Coffee and bread-Tomorrow-

He means mine-

Won’t-

Be poisoned,

Again-

By their-

Seeds,

He later says:“He set themselves-

Into the fires,”-for:

Peace,

Much later then I-

 Noticed-

Perfection-

Wasn’t above-

Or far-

But only here-

Instead,

And I changed the name of-

The-

Poem-

To reflect this-Mojdeh-

For the scattering of-

Frenzy-Within-

Them,

So the spinning-

Can bring-

You,

Their-

Enlightenment-Buy your-

So heaven-

Can find-

Itself,

Multi-colored-

Derailing the-

And judgment,

So divine can carry-

Murmuring-

Its the builders-

Strumming-

Of infinite strings,

Two at a time-

 No judgment-

Of a tribe-In here and now-

Is a proclamation that-

They are-

Forever-less,

Except those in the-

You’ve-

Already been to,

Because you-

Birth or weight,

Silence made loud

And this day was a Sunday-

February fifth,

And three young-

Men were lined-

By the side our street,

Dressed in vibrant-

Colors-

I thought:

If they weren’t abused-

Or molested-

I’m contend-With their-

Want for themselves-

Page 437: The Chronicles, Poems-4

7/31/2019 The Chronicles, Poems-4

And other men,

And it must be-

That they-Hadn’t been-

For they turned-

To the road- straight-

And whispered:

“Cristo,”

Meaning I was on my-

Way,

And the food-

Shall never be-

Poisoned-

In their names-

But the shepherdess’-

Appetite-

For money had become-

Destructible-

In my life and-Hers,

And an eternity’-

Measure-

Of love and-

Care-Had been left-

By her, and her-

Spirits’-

Boxes-

Strayed-

So I told them,

If the food is ever-

Inverted again,They shall never-

Be able to have-

Any of my names-

And they made-

Way,

For theirs-

Been-

Kept-

And loved-

For so long,

My absent mother’s eyes-

Are the palest green-

From knotted-

Hills-

Of-

Affectionate-Grins-

Lest her-

favorite besides,

 Not be drown by their-

Woes,

Which-

Unbeknownst-

To them,Should leave them-

Without any-

Carriage or,

Home,

(If forever shall waiver,)

For what carries them-

Undeterred,

Unaltered-

One of them is very-Pretty,

One of them-Is getting there-

Both of them-

Are driving-

Some of you from:

Where, turbulence-Is both a brutality-

And a form of disgrace,

To their living-Soul’s,

And her tribes’-

Undoubting fame,

And that ‘her’ and her,

Been the keepers of no-

And the house of yes’-Been their Son’s-

Pam (My right foot,)

Pamee train-

Came from 23rd-century-

Grown on-

Love and life of-

Their Pam is one voluptuous-Steam,

With roots-

And foliage-

Flushed with her violet light,

Pulsating as far as my Newton-

“Mother doesn’t drop the apple-

in my hands,”

For she knows what exactly I bring,And then along the banks of creation-

Here she knows we throb every far away-

Seam,

And she takes on ‘the jobs’-

They make her look awkward-

Like the spirit of a rose,

in the absence of all petals,

But she’s of spring-

She knows it’s irrevocably-

Coming,

Spirits (A song for Pamee)

Being human-

Is so-

Excessive to-

Some,

Cosmic explanations,

Are riddled with-

 None ness,As in: they really-

Can’t,

And like: they’re-

Envious of-

You two,

“And to be-

Perfectly frank,

They’re all queers-Here,

And we wouldn’t-

Do,

Besides: to be-

PerfectlyPresent-

Suits only-

Pam is my back-

My right foot,Our fate is alongside,

For the invention of good,

And discharge of what comes-

Of nays,

The span of our-

Wings were same,

She fell for the-

Very reason-That the back is-

Heavier than,

 Noor,

Heaviest when the food-

And thoughts are unwell,

Heaviest in the beginning.

 Near the dead-ends,

Where the evil out-Of men must wash,

Itself by war’s and-

By peace’s every-

Other mean,

That everything-

Must bring it to-

Her keeping-

Knees,

That everything must-

Yield to the house-

Of Lord’s,

Me that’s always-

Been loved and-

cared by Amen,

By the direction-Of our faiths,

By the very-

The Second One

The new you is-

A tall woman,

With raised shoulders-

And many flowering heads-

They love you a lot there-

In France,

They know you are: them-With their long-

Lit noses-

They can smell the-

Serenity of your height,

The sturdiness-

Of our forests,

And you giggle-

With bursts-Of joy-

They say you learned it-

In heaven,

They say heaven’s-

Love for you-

Is so many layered,

And of course I-

Won’t see you-

Africa is a far away-

Befriend,

But you’ll marry us-

Two,

By then,

By then, the merest-Mention of-

Us,

Shall set their-

Minds in repose-

At the mysteries of-

World-

Loves’-

Wonder,At how-

Soul’s-

Are never set apart-

When their bode-

Is well,

And how what they call God-

Is your love, how what they call-

Devil, was their scribe-

And our loss,

But how the city-

And hell alive, out-

Of loves thunder,

And you’ll see your portrait-

Eternal-

Serene-Hung-

By our Mother’s-

 

 Nine-six

The diagonal girl-

The one slanted by-

The cold,

By the easier-

Stones,

When she walks by,

There are minor storms,

Billowing by her sail,

I shout at her in our-

Animated tongue-

Left by the-Shepherdess,

And she says:

“I am of yourself,”

In heart-

And face,And of the Cain’s-

In legs,

The ones who smile-

Widely ,

And those are so rare,

You’d mistake them-

For one of your own,

If it weren’t for-Their rivers-

Dead hours,

Black irises-

Ash scents,

Theirs can plunge-

Into rain,

 Not head,

First,

Their back Strong-

Is simpler-

Than been-

For ages,

They have virtues-Evened,

Dignity-

By all-

Is faith,More pyramids-

Shaped like-

 No fists,

 No rage,

And they carry more-

Reasons to arrive-

On each finger-

Like Jewels-

The tall woman-

Has the prettiest ass-

In the world,

And no one-

Comprehends but myself-

Because you have to be-

A billion light years away-

From her-To know,

She hasn’t been bedded-

By my flesh -

(After raising Cain,)

But I’ve felt the-

Ripples-

Of her clusters-

Open and close-Doors,

That never exist for-

Others,

 Nor are anyone-

Else’s-

Homes,

But the light,

Convergence,

In groves,

Cyprus trees,

The seashores by-

Horses left-

Unkempt,

The spring and-

Fall’s,Insatiable-

Robes,

The kind of-

The Abe wants to-

Blow air and-

Hot ash-

Waste-

Into my ear-

And their smells are-

Intolerable-

To worst,The virtue less ness,

To narrow the-

Calls the police for the-

The poisons-

The tattered-

Blare into my tools,

The rape-

That they’re-

Cathedrals

She’s a constant,

Signifying place,

With a torch-

In hand,

A cube’s-

Meter,

By waist-

She points out-

The depth-Of wealth,

Its home,

His and-

Hers-Impressions-

Their slowly-

Drawn windows’-

Dearth-

Of waste,

Take this-

Feeling-

And bestow it-Upon our-

Homes-

Hold the-

Seams of time,

Divide its safety-

All along-

That road,

We’ll make sense-Again-

of night-

And day-

And of its writhing-

Of its curious gasping shores-

Or of its-

Intentions-

Berth,

‘Our scents must be always with you’-

Or the movements

Are forever-

Strained-

By loss,

 Not uttering so much-

As hail,In response-

Without any-

But the passion less ness’-Death-

But that our love-

Is a fountain-

Upon-

Which-

The time-

Keepings is-

Held,For the safety and-

Health of-

Four,

For making sure,

That their ways-

Are always held-

Straight by every opening-

And closing door-By the virtue that-

These roofs and streets-

Are beds to-

Us-

And ours children’ ways-

Emily stands-

By Mr. Orwell,He’s greened-

Her scents-

(Before,)

And she-

Misses that innocence-

(In words,)

She misses the capes of,

Luminous self,

Whose riches,

Beckons the tomorrows-

In her:

“Loves not that form,”

(Her thumb is larger-

Than when she came-

Into the woods-Of miraculous-

Before she became-

Wondering-Separate-

Snowily-

Star-

Of Yemenis doors,

And not in love-

With boys,

At all-

(Before she knew God won’t-Give her his name for 2000 years-

Lest she abuses anyone again,)

Jessica-6

The Jessica across the-

Street-

Tries hard not to smile at all,

With whispering averted eyes,

For I try to woo her tenderly-

With my vertical-Voice,

I find her familiar as a stroke,

(I want to be kept by her strides,)

(The way she urges all to follow her home,)

And its really us, she’s trying not to smile at,Its been us-

In the shades of all times reverently closed,

(We must be married, we must be lovers,)

We must be generous echoes of:

“Those who nestle kindness-

are forever,”

She became the shape of the woman with torch,

And everyday I try to draw her impressions,Her clothes-

In those abstracted colors of adored,

Like a sleep walker,Like a brazen man-

Who can’t give up-

They know their curses-

Heap,

They know some death-

Passes,

Are eternal,

Some are only-

Thousands kisses-Deep,

Some wishes are-

Fulfilled,

By squander-

Most are in the expanse-

Of green rivers forth-

Like a woman-

Speaking you-

Down,

After Abel’s rubbles,

(like women I’ve met in dreams,)

Like thoughts of me in your seams,

Punctual-

Stubborn,After petrifying rages of burning-

In food,

After chanting for ages of you-

And not receiving for the bears-

In your stockings-Your brothers kept in your gardens-

Of inclining,

Eightfold-

Patient in-

The matter as:

Love matured,

If our eyes-

Engraved by lust-For two-

If verge silence:

Wards,

Abandoned-Dissonant against-

My words,

For I’ve watched Abel’s-

Try to change history books-

By money-

By force of-

Power-

Of the Jews-And their tenured-

Sycophants, (whores,)

Their twisted turns of-

What is and always been-

Our stories, our world-

There’s nothing common-

But the reins of your stocks-

Which are tightly held by the-Truth,

And the willfulness-

Of God’s-

And the living Abels-

Living Kanes-And their glories-

Undisturbed-

Voice

The beautiful liars-

Stretch along Budlong-

In the shadows-

They’re surrendered by dogs-

By their smell of aggregation-

By own feelings of separation-

From their minarets rooftops-

By wondering thoughts-That sound-

Like a cheerful girl at home,

They meet her again and-

Again in slumber,

But clocks awaken them-

To their cats paws-

To the untidy rings-

That are friction-born,Like leopards-

And tigresses,

(The side-effects-

Of living in now,)

I wait for the truth-

To ripen,

(After I reluctantly believe-

Their lies,)

I consult poets-

I consult the voice-

I consult a librarian-

“Herds of men still walk by-

wanting to hear if their ships

come in-by Gods doors,”

It can’t-It won’t-

Allah’s crunches them differently-

Than the mutton-worn,

Iron-

Boars-

(And he has teeth of all herbivores,)

And then what can compete with the whole-

His wings are men-His backs are 66 women-

That flatten the drunkenness of waves-

Sweet and sure,

I lingered by the side of their home-

To ask them to tell her:

These stories will be by every bazaars-

Long before her 9-wedding gown’s sewn-

Someday

The receptionist-At my psychiatrists office-

Has green and golden-

Hair,

On my prescription-

Refill days-

She hums her own tunes-

For the rabble to understand,

(She secretly has keener sense of-music, because she means to-

marry me over and again,)

But her frozen manner-

At the office is for everyone-

But girls,

She waits like a soldier-

On women,

Guarding them like:My straightness might-

Injure their weights,

(And they weigh a lot,)

Still out of pure mischief-

I whisper come-ons-

Everyone can hear,

I tell her I think:

Her mother be proud

To know- how much-

Jesus loves her,

But she ignores every bit-

Of this truth:

Like abandonment or love-

Don't reap or are too late,

And opens and closes her-

Cardigans,

Just so I can get a glimpse-Of her breasts-

Which she knows-

I like to blind myself with— 

Their affection-

Someday--

Emolument

The Abes chasm street-

Upon my life-

Many a worm-

Many in harms way-

For their turbulence-

Is always for money-And anguish of-

Children,

Want to be raped-

And molested-By his own-

Father-

And mother,)

By any stealing jaw-

That looks as though,

A protector,

And it was so-

They were selling-Their own infants-

By the temple tables-

And they had to be-

Turned-

Over,

For I knew-

There shall be no-

Graves that opens-To light,

Only dark pools-

And the axle returns-

Every quickened sands-

If I’m not repealed with-Submission-

Pam’s spirit will-

Take wing,

And lie by my side-

On the left of hemispheres-

Constancy of our hearts-Its very transformations-

With her names-Beside me,

Pan says:

You have to secretly remind her-

Who in the world loves-

Her most,

And who’s keep-

Is her pleasurest-Mostest,

And who’s love led you to her-

Doors,

But my own-

My own-

P’am (My right foot)

You act like you-

Haven’t read the words,

As though their truth-

Are not your relief-

Have continued to commit,

Why-

But I tell you again and again-

Their crimes against infants-

And young boys and girls-

Arte known to all of-

Us,

Whether-Its Cain or Abel’s’-

And I tell you again and again-

That none has a home or shelter-

Under the skies or without them-

Ever,

 None can be led by light-

Or its complete absence-

Into anything but lakes-

That are guarded-

By snakes-And for snakes-

That every law in this world collectively:

“Father they shall be no longer-

Or left foot (Abels,)

Their act must continue to leave the-

Tribes responsible out from-

Under-

My world,

Whether millions of them into wars-

Or wards,Mice or vermin,

Every movement must mean-

That Lord:

“They shall be no longer,”

For if we can’t protect our children-

And youngsters,

We refuse to be offered doors-

For the safekeeping of our clusters,

And that we shall tell them-

That in the eyes of lord,

Teens have their own minds and-

Hearts to wonder,But to release any human-

Being out of its innocence’s-

Mistake

de3finite-symmetry-seeming-perfect-and e4xact-is a mistake-

mardom-put a lot of-erring ness in-

 jobs-and deeds-(yours,)and my owns (Khodama,)(I erred once-myself,)

and it was-always-avoidable-but the shadows-came enormous-and onerous-the weight-shared itself-against my will,

with-someone else,(my home,)thus-I value-goodwill,and penance-above all-perfection-of senses,

Think of-

Mend today,

And dream-Of tomorrow-

Everyday,

Whether the seeds-

Can retreat unto-

Thoughts of torment-Or murder-

 Na-mard-ha

I don’t know-

How many times-

I’ve had to wrap-

Myself in a blanket-

In the middle of night-And say:

This is war-

And go through the-

Most horrendous-

Poisonous months-

Year-

And hours-

I tell-Whether cains-

Or stones-

These aren’t men-

They can barely-

Be called humans-

But they have one thing-

In common-

They are-

Backs,

Pedophiles-

And faggots-

Every sangle-

Dishonorable-

One of them-

Is a scar-Upon manhood-

And one world,

Everything is curved-

Out there,

Thus it drops-

Considerable-

By the time-It gets to-

The top,

Here-

Only straight-

Lines,

Exist-

Survive-

Or belong,All else-

Exhausts-

Itself,

And is renewed-

By far,

(From alto-

Tis height,)

The curve-

Constantly-

Loses-

Thrust,

It has a lisp,

(It sounds,)

Strings (Paa,)

Your strings-

Are your own-

Forwards-

And backwards-Longs,

They’re humans-

They may be animals-

They all rest-

But are in constant-

Movement,

Sometimes called-

Clamor,Insight is not on,

Meanings are often lost,

Or exchanged-

For the comfort-

Of lies,

Thus-

“Bewilderment-

Amazement,”

Often-

To ‘confusion-chaos,’

Lost,

(And injury and hurt occurs,

At great cost,)

To us-

Cyrus women,

Play the prettiest-

Hookers,

(Jobs,)

In reality-

They’re very-Hard to get-

And never come by,

Their legs are-

On lesbos

Islands,

They’d shriek-

If they find-

Out,Gods been-

Besides them,

But the truth is-

They’re-

All governed-

By his-

Voice,

My light,

Holds-

All the-

Weight-

Of the-

World,

And all benevolence-

Governed by love,Is tis force-

Rooftops-2

They explains-

Their sins,

Their falls,

In that hours’-

Of words,I know they’ve-

Been listening-

To me,

To what matters-

The most,

But there’s-

Always-

Too little-Sunlight,

Too little-

Rain,

(And too much poshte,)

(Too many cigarettes-

And fat in the middle-

Of day,)

Everyone pouts,

Everyone expects-

To be treated-

Like the rooftops-

Of the world,

And ‘they’ complain-

Ad nauseum-

Of-Mardom-

Mardom-

Rooftops-3

They work-

The unspoken rings,

Where shadows-

Dance and talk,

I watch you-

From time to time,Everyone’s backs-

To the wall,

Mute,

Overweight-

Drowning in self,

And everyone’s embrace-

Is estranged,

Resistant to love,(And only for their own kind,)

When I open my eyes-

The news is always on,

Mayhem,

Rapes,

Broken people-

Without sweetness,

Or valor-

(Following their reluctant-

rooftops,)

Someone-

Sitting in-

Always,

Reading the-

Traffic lights-(For a jam,)

Left-and-right,

Up-and-down,

Stairways,

That hand the-

Pride of-

Flowers,

(The faultless yes,)into the-

non-musical,

sands,

They rage-

 pebbles-

unconscious yarns-

of no’se,

(to the surface plants,)

And are thrown-

Constantly-

Eternal-

Further-

And further-

From those lamps,

(Whereness,)They neither-

Hear-

 Nor-

(Pulseless,)

Are,

Ever heard,)

Thus every-Blooming night-

And day,

We push bits-

Of horizontal-

Lines-

Ignominious,

Robes,

Of clamor-

(Into the deafness curbs,)

Amen-

Seen-

Like hearing,

The blue candlelight’s,

Making their way,

From left-

To crease,From sent-

To please-

Off the-

Plebian-

Fields,

(From dawn-

Until gestures,

cease their tease,)Into the woods,

Out of hers-

Distinct-

Brittle,

Forms,

Wooed,

Dark,

But not unholy,)

Like Buddha,

From the right,

Are methodically-

Boring,

The Dippers-2

I had a-

Dream in a quiet-

Gustav klimt,

(With my mother,)(The lesser Bears,)

Her hair-

Spun strings-

Around my arms,

Veils of autumn-

And spring-

(Hers intended,)

And her nails-Were a lot-

Shorter,

Than they’d been-

Forever,

But we talked of-

Common things,

Of the valley-

And the hills,

The palpable-

Mystery of-

Distances,

She’d promise-

 No mountains-

 Nor meadows,

(Only protection,)

And I thought-

She has-

A lot of pussies in-

There-Intersecting through-

The silences— 

Brazen,

Both of us-

Earthbound,

Supple-

Understood,

With sadness-And stoic amazement--

The only living-

Honorable-

Warrior-

In forever-

(Is your own,names,)

Every one-

Of these so called-

Cowboys-

Is a fag-

Meaning: their-

Head is stuck-

So far up-Their backs,

They know-

 Neither-

The pride-

Of inner sense,

 Nor the-

Light,

To see above-

Or beyond-

Their waist,

Thus your namesake-

May never protect-

Them,

 Nor provide them with-

Food, or shelter,Until-

They’ve submitted-

Become holy-Or valuable-

By virtue of-

Association to me,

Or my names,

You must-

Transcend-

Further-

Every time your-

Shadow grows-

You ruin the-

Lives-

Of your own-And your children’s-

The Islamic revolution-

Of 1979, is just-

One horrid example-

Separated-

From god-

And love,

Rape and pilfering-The villagers-

From Mexico-

To Western Africa,

Dull murderous-

Convictions-

That have no basis-

In life and light,

The scraps-

They say:

“God throw-Away-
