El príncipe negro,
estoico inmortal...
cuerpo guerrero,
cicatrices encalcadas,
talismanes de Orishas,
Escudos y lanza,ls...
cachivaches elocuentes,
que divulgan ya una historia...
en la ruta, y en la vida,
luminarias ancestrales!

 

El príncipe blanco,
mimado y sublime...
frágil silueta,
de porcelana y miel,
rodeado de tesoros,
faldas de lino y seda...
son verdades infalibles
de secuencias patriacarles,
insulgencias tan vulgares
impertinente charlatán!

neal muzak makes love to the sun





neal muzak hammers the microphone

like lionel hampton building a woodshed out back



so he can sneak the rabbi's daughter

into the sin of synagogue



more science than humanities and more

art than anything



he is a student of the pencil thin mustache



if you look up neal muzak on youtube

you will find girls jumping on trampolines

and doing splits



you will find mythology. . .

a man who is the son of bending light



he is billy collins eating william

carlos

williams plums

with the juice dribbling

down the thigh of art center

debutant



he owes you tuesday and

will pay you on friday night



the vapor light slips from his poems

like morning humidity on the asphalt



there is no crank in frankenstien

no plight in a piano slip n slide



and at one time i was somebody

that was three thousand 27 poems ago



o yea, cha cha chaaa



i'm gonna close my eyes and tilt my head

back and forth --- slightly - - - - remembering

the gulf and the sun dipping into the blue

taking the hue of the evening and mixing it

like van gogh eating a dreamcycle



check your pockets, half of thursday is missing



and that sun set a hundred times

and that sun set a hundred times

and that was the setting of torrid good times



neal muzak wears a leather jacket

he is a crock pot on the counter making love

to the sun as it simmers in her own juices



money grows on trees

but neal muzak picks the juniper berry from

your gin and tonic and

paints watercolors in the world of make believe



he whispers honey in your ear

honey made from killer bees



you lean back into a dance of limbo

paying him with fingerprints

taken from red headed strangers



the pluck of cock o doodle do in the morning



and when the dawn comes

03-27 All Systems Operational

Folder: 
DailyPoetryProject

Tinkering with screws that seem to loosen from my grip

and slip in crevices of metal frames where fingers cannot fit,

I’m learning to outsmart myself and organize my thoughts,

like wires neatly spiraling around my brain uncrossed.



I know that where my synapses all gather ‘round to meet

would overheat, if not for cooling systems fitting inbetween.

The whir of cooling fans keeps me content. I’ll have no need to vent

as long as power flows uninterrupted and nothing dents

the blades that spin and spin and spin relentlessly.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

...putting my desktop pc back together after one of its many deaths. It's not really a complete thought, but oh well.

sleep much?

Folder: 
pondering

Pretty shiny nails glisten

piercing soft skin

leaving a lonely trail of destruction

life dripping out slowly

creating beautiful patterns

of self loathing and sweet

oblivion

cleansing stagnant hatred and useless

reslessness

finding the scatter

Folder: 
put in debbie





there is a ramble around

the room



that falls at your hips

with pornography of

your kiss



drinking dubious

endeavors

spilling over with

bedroom whispers



when things unravel

there are slivers



and there is the

shivers from

connecting flesh



when things are undone

you are curled into me



and perspiration

tries to escape in

to the humidity

camp

Folder: 
put in debbie





slipping off

the excitement

of a day and

translating emotion to

nocturnal murmur



scotch and water

in the wilderness



panties muddled

somewhere under

a sleeping bag



consuming your thighs

tasting like lake water



where we defied gravity

and floated in sensual

composure



sipping slipping

and sliding into you



wavering on

the evening

zephyr

blue plate

Folder: 
put in debbie



let me throw you on the table

like blue plates from the dollar store



unfolding your intimate napkin

with playful design



flipping you over with spatula desire



tipping your breasts

smearing my lips



devouring your cuisine

with fingertip delicacies



exploring the curve of your spine

that serves you up like a soup spoon



finding the pleasure within

that slips like a salad fork

through your marinated dressing



let me



i will empty you

like a chalice



with a brim full

of delight

Prank Call

My sister said that some days I wouldn’t want to fight it
And that she’d do it for me
Except now she's gone
And I don’t think I'm ever going to call
Just to say that I don’t feel like fighting it today
If I just breathe
This will all pass
And I will wake up
And know it's not a dream

For Night... (Cinquain)

for night...

dark winged angel,

cloaked in shadowy robes,

as silver twinkling stars adorn

her hair.
