May weather haiku

A humidity
wave of drops unbearable
but good for the bugs

In awe

Did I really rear three kids
breastfed them and clothed them
without losing my mind
or was it lost when the hormones
took over my body
instead of my brain?
Now with daughter's son
I see the whole pattern repeat itsself
just like it has done for
mammals since the evolution began
It does not make it any better
or worse - just a thought
of the animal in us all
Fucking nature -
feeling less wild nowaways
and in stupendous wonder
of life itself - wow

I am trying and that’s what counts?!?

Clutzy day of a special kind
Unique accidents - all fumbling
Ending up laughing hysterically
Just because of my own idiocy
In the kitchen while trying to cook
A gourmet meal for a friend
Turning another corner on
The Richter scale
Hoping that the cook lives
Through this crazy calamity
Realizing that there might be something
About biorhythms and how
One can sometimes be a danger
Without really wanting to.

Ellicott City - again

olde Ellicott City
with stories to tell
from a mill town to
a touristy everyday hangout
you are funky - has spunk
cause your young-at-heart
is growing and strong

but an aneurism
suddenly hits
out of the blue
and a blood clot
your body's defense
just floats and bloats
and almost down
on your knees

the second time within
twenty-four months
how many more
can you take?
how much more
of nature's wrath
is enough for the soul?
Ellicott City of
youth for the ages/aging
keep fighting -
I need you for
my sanity and your own

Twice within 24 months a major flooding
in Ellicott City is a warning that 
nature has gone haywire

A waiting

Sitting in the parking lot
Waiting
For
The
Bottles
Of
Beer
They
Arrive
By
Special
Messenger
And then we drive on

Friday wish for the world

Glorious inheritance
wonderful codes
wow - not

Wondrous heredity
fabulous nucleic acid
wow - not

You - who do have
good genes -
be  happy

You who do not
inherit healthy DNA/RNA
happy Friday
anyway


Fleur-de-Lys mulling over the inherited genes

The pink Rose

The pink rose in my planter
is a stunningly item of nature
she smells like an old time bud

The pink rose in my courtyard
is a thing of rare beauty
against the brown fence

The pink rose lasts only a sec
she is the contrast of nature
versus man - she wins!

Retour à mon âme

Dans le monde les gens
qui comprennent tous
les hommes
qui sont des chevaliers
les femmes
qui donnent de leurs mieux
restent l'espoir
pour l'éternité.
Désormais les pires
essaient de ruiner
tout pour tout le monde
ceux-ci réussissent
des fois avec une guerre
ou leurs pouvoirs désastreux.
Entre-temps des événements
petits et journaliers
sont sellés avec
des bon hommes
et des bonnes femmes
et alors je suis presque là
le Languedoc médiéval.

People - wake up

equanimity in front of
equality and legality
of the law of the land
and changing it
is what a Supreme court
should do everywhere
in a democracy -
alas in the US
there is now no equal rights
for a living person
chipping away the values
and ethical rectitude
fearful of the political balance
it is tipping towards
money and power
so the citizenship must become
more vigilant of its prerogative
otherwise the realm of darkness
might just take over
and there shall be no citizens
who are protected by the laws
only the fawning few
nobody is above the law
but the law can be tampered with
if the people are not punctilious

(On seeing RBG and then reading about 
another decision by the Supreme Court this morning)

A different Monday

A Monday in May
a quiet array
of sunshine and decay

A Monday in May
a wild foray
into an alleyway

A Monday in May
a  crazy melee
of desire and display

A Monday in May
a woman portray"d
of colors and souffle.

haunted daily

This is hard to keep up
This idea of a poem a day
This is more than hard
To keep daily calories count
This is hard to keep on
Doing the daily tasks
Thus - whatever you think
Is hard to keep up or on—-
A fallacy of your own
Laziness- my mother’s voice

Maybe or maybe not?

Message me a missive
in a massage

Message me a maudling
in a memo

Manifest your manipulation
in a mail

Must I then maneuvre
minutely

Mayhap then will we
move mutually

or

Mixed messages confound
the matter?

Guns money guns

guns - money
Money - guns
Having fun???

No thoughts
No prayers
Fuck the gun

Good man
Stops bad guy
With a gun

Fuck faulty
Logic
Get a gun
 
More money
To the lobby
Gun the guns

Un djinn me parle

Mon âme reste inquiet
Sans mon beau village
Chaque presque  six mois
un pèlerinage
M’est nécessaire
Pour mon sens sans spleen -
Autrement je tombe
Dans un trou - un djinn
Me perturbe et dit
Retourne vivement
Cazouls va t’hanter
Tout simplement
Sans que tu le sache
Tu aies des cauchemars -
Je vais t’envoyer
A ton purgatoire
De ne retrouver
Ton petit éden -
Stop - je lui dis - fini
J’arrive en trentaine

LOL

Laughing out Loudly or Aloud
is good for the endorphins
so that's why I spend so much
time in the so-called cyber orbit
Alas it is taking its toll
I am no longer in the local sphere
just a tad away from anywhere
no connection - just a stroll
a different universe
a sad but true traverse
so let me see if I can bring laughter
or at least just a quick smile
yes you'll not see my wrinkly face
in the mirror of time bequile(d).

Nightless night

Night against knight
Not enough exercise
Sleepless Pills
Which do not work
Nightless night
Incredible tiring
So today’s dawn
Sees a new need
Walking walking
Without which
The nightmare
Will not return
To sleep depriving
Knight after night

A color of worn days

My orange sweater  - a reminiscence
of the days of good and fancy clothes

I have worn it many times - today too
and its peachiness is still going strong

do I toss this tangerine remnant of a past
I cannot - for the same reason

there are my rainbow dresses that tell stories
only for me I know but still

A woman's cor(r)al wardrobe is her life
it talks of fads and crazy nights

So maybe this will be my burial's bittersweet
cloth and burnt with me - titian - apricot

Non- existing

Nothingness is becoming
an age of a certain number
when I hit that one
I shall become a nullity
Nothing is anything
and everything
and that in itself
counts for not a thing!

A brother’s limerick

There once was a guy named Torsten
With his brush he liked to touch them
The ladies galore
They asked for more
He painted with oil and floored them

Genetically humane

Move over generation
upon generation
upon genera...

The order of things
is the thread of life
just like any gene
it is born it lives it dies
nothing else

It is the waves that count
it is the ways that amount
it is how we are bound
together so weirdly
so sincerely
it is a chain reaction
fusing the fission
and the genes' mission

So here is the heir
of two families
nucleic acids
bound in a chemical
mitochondrial bind
in a slight different
non or coding DNA

Strangely enough
it is what we are all  part of
- humanity
