This Karmic Meal~

scribe

imbibed

vibed out

skin sloughed

palms grating

a girl baiting

a curl of lip

oracle debating

you're a channel, baby

hell, I thought I was a hustler

a cluster

he musters his last thrust of mind

giving it good

she takes a dip

a swim in his sinew from behind 

rolling, devastating delight

on her tongue

this rite

in the pleats of a kite

he knows the stream has an end

the stream, the human animal

unwound a god

malcontent

in his fine wines

in his finer lies

the end is the dam built by upright limitations

self imposed, embedded in the bones of nations

some days I say let 'em bleed

let 'em feed the greed

undo a thousand and one good deeds

other days my body weeps

as humanity repeats

repeals

my mind scrambles for a goddamn break

but your mind coils me like a snake

eats it all

drinks

napkin folds

gives it back, redeemed in scrolls

for a future unlikely to be

god in reverse

strike three

absentee

looks on

broken as its progeny

backtrack

flashback

comfy days

fruit of the day

too late

too late

one god shambles backwards

another takes the throne

you gonna be the first to throw the stone?

on and on

one

aim the gun

two

unbuckle her

against the yew

three

killing spree

human stole

deity, pressed against a shoe's sole

ground deep into the dirt

neither learns

not one damn thing

welcome to the unwound reel

of the long run

on the hamster wheel

kneel

fall hard

eat it all

swallow down this karmic meal

you've manifested

torn open now, the final seal.. . .

Once again you have the rhythm down so perfect for the feel of the piece, and I love the rhyme in your work as of late. What a message in this, or at least how I take it, Ideologies are a dime a dozen, but most of the time they are taken as misconceptions to their reality. Maybe the most surreal subject of them all religion.

Great Write!
RLG,
Tommy

You have on hell of a vocabulary. The words you use are so effective and always in the right place. Enjoyed reading this.

[Ed Hart]

i go swimming in your poetry, and seldom keep my head above your liquid words...for me the dip is a visceral experience...like a child in class who disappears into the teacher's story, i simply lose myself

God Damn my mind for not being able to sustain this word filled sigh, alive in the belly slits of an old witches brew you regurgitate live through..
adrenal drips of satisfaction, light a match and watch potion take to reaction
as it was written in sense...swirling centuries to pen
you make pure gold again........ good stuff

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

Whew! That was a Hot one! The visage of peering into a Kaleidoscope is evoked through your words.
another exhilarating read...

Thank you.

the beat - da dum da dum ha - so strong - Kerry got it there - master of it - the echo effect - it carries through the poem - like an aftershock - giving the words a new power - though still keeping the original bang idea rippling - another brilliant piece - descriptions just beyond what most could produce in a year ha! lol at the religious nut!

[Kerry O'Connor]

You are a master of the reverberation of sound. I would love to hear this particular poem spoken. Great beat.

my mind scrambles for a goddamn break
but your mind coils me like a snake
eats it all
drinks
napkin folds
gives it back, redeemed in scrolls
for a future unlikely to be
god in reverse
strike three...

You really know how to expose every side of the human being as only you can, hitting the painful mark each and every time.

the end is the dam built by upright limitations
self imposed, embedded in the bones of nations
some days I say let 'em bleed
let 'em feed the greed
undo a thousand and one good deeds
other days my body weeps
as humanity repeats
repeals
my mind scrambles for a goddamn break
but your mind coils me like a snake


As one of the only honest to goodness empaths I've ever met, you'll never be able to ignore it. Not any of it. And that I don't envy.

cook the books..your meal is a verbal feast :)

Sharp and striking!

god in reverse
strike three
absentee
looks on
broken as its progeny

The concept of a broken god, as prone to wrong as its puppets is mind twisting. Love it!
