Burned

red morning gibbous
moon beyond scudding smoke drift
burnt-out pumpkin heart

...

Bridge of Thighs

firm smooth
effortless form
under my fingers

velvet resonance
ancient energy
under my palm

igniting electric storms of confusion
under my skull

...

Missing

run hard
try hard
avoid ...soft
rust welded memories
chased by the ache
of a thousand phantom limbs

I guess it's time to start exercising the bits of me I've been neglecting.  Expect more bad poetry to come..

- Nancy

lost poem

last night
you were there

with me

whole, alive
fully formed

perfect

this morning I have
nothing but vague memory

tiny fragments

...

In My Mind

This song by Amanda Palmer is so beautiful. I can't stop crying over and over.



See lots of her good stuff here.

Bells of Mindfulness

grounds

leftover grinds of normality

daily washed clean-aside

by living waves of you

...

magic dragon

unable to share his magic

wings, fire and heart

fell ash-grey stone

crumbled to dirt

less than a

castrated dog

...

three ways

fault-slammed

shaken free

of all foundation

washed away

smashed

submerged

new life

consumed by

spent duty

...

twice kissed

once

on each cheek

by moon and sun

twin blessings

opposed

180 degrees

conspirators

propel me

into this day

...

unlearning

chase glittering beauty

be-jewelled

be-spangled

be-pinked

dodge the gaze of

my reflected caterpillar

...

Action Man

apparent motion
revealed as

random lurching

spot of light

to glimmering

distraction

punctuated with

frozen

doubtstuck layers

...

dance

lazy femoral thump

taut muscular squirm

warm silken thigh

joins all sense to

one point

...

morning prayer II

one hundred

white and yellow

cockatoo prayer flags

flap limply in

a winter tree

...

morning prayer

hundred limp

white and yellow

cockatoo prayer flags

hang limp on

leafless tree against

crystalline sky

grasped still

by morning's frozen

fingers

...

sys admin

yellow fat-stained

empty eyes

fail to register

swollen putrescent tongue

threatens to suffocate

shallow limping breaths

go-on

suck down another

bagel

...

green spangled

cake morning for Mr Bloom

sugary pink

fairy floss sky

crunchy white

frosting

poo-poo

profiteroles

frozen plumpudding

icecream gumboots

...

crystals

sparkling crystalline fingers

dance carefully

frigid steel gate

...

dogbark

dogbark peels

baneful tongues of fog

sodden trees

black
