The Craft of the Knife (from "The Island")
for many years
he was relentless
meticulous in the
craft of the knife
carving out letters
on pieces of wood
that the river carried
after every storm
he carved the messages
for no one and yet
he let the river
take them back to
somewhere he wished
for in jest perhaps and so
he becomes weary
and weary
with the knife
yet the craft of
the knife
gave him the skill of
the fork
like the tongue
of a viper or the
fake medals of
the Colonel
which he kept, practised ...

Who had the prettiest vise tight cooze
She said shoot your cum
Deep into my bum
Damn how the hell could I refuse

brooding river
Brooding River
This winter saw a lot of rain the river
near the houses Is still running clear and lucid
giving its soul to the ocean
On the old Roman Bridge I asked the river to stop wasting
its precious sweet water to the salty sea,
one cannot let thirsty horses drink brackish liquid
after having hauled a cart full of dead sheep
up to a mountain top,
offerings to a god that only exist in the mind of an
idiot savant.
The river hears me not its job is to run dry during
the summer and when fall arrives be reborn.
But beware of a...

sub in your eyes
Sun in Your Eyes.
In the white sea of sun bleached straws
I saw a crow struggle, go under drowning
In the glare of sun heat and the end
of everything I was given the chance to
see, feel and intimately know.
An eddy of heated water was running down
the drain the wrong way hotter than lave
This must be hell and I ran away from
the struggle of the past and present dancing
in obscene sexuality in the shadow
under a carob tree... and I heard the raw
laughter of syphilitic whores mouths’
like gaping sore and a road of rotting teeth, ...

GREEN Chapter Four
Kenya counted the hours before Malik showed up. She walked up to
him and asked "How may I help you?" "I would like to make a deposit". "How much would you like to deposit Mr. Williams?" Kenya's voice was a high pitch from being nervous. "I would like to deposit five thousand dollars" Malik handed Kenya the
money with a cocky look in his eyes. "Excuse me Malik I normally
don't do this...........but would you like to go out sometime?"
Taken back by Kenya's question Malik had to recompose himself. "Yes I would". I never had a woman ask me out before thought Malik....

Are You a Mugwump?
Are you a mugwump?
Whaaat?
A mugwump!
A mugwump is a bird
With his mug on one side of a tree branch
And his wump on the other side.
He lives in the land of in-between.
Some say, he is a fence straddler.
A mugwump is indecisive
And can’t make up his mind.
As a mugwump,
You don’t want to give up what you have
But you also want what you don’t have.
So you straddle.
To get off that branch,
You have to make a decision,
To make a decision,
You need to know your goal.
Knowing your goal will show your choices
But with...

"Never-ending pastel"
Tongue following never-ending pastel;it is quite,
Entirely distinct sweet truth distance or asleep,
Bitter brilliance eclipse under it's tinge,
The riddle traced bitter black.

by the river
By The River.
At the estuary of the Amazons the water is muddy and shallow and
there are no undercover bosses, pretending to be one of the people
who live in houses on stilts on the small islands where the river
meets the sea, blends and loses its power; for those who have sailed
the oceans no river is big. On the delta, of the great river, live people
who get their income from fishing they are poor yet free from prying
bosses those who buy the river and the sea for exploitation and make
people into low paid worker; destitution without pride.

too beig to fall
Too big to fall.
Daybreak from cobalt to light blue the first sunrays
hit the west wall, and grey wall becomes brilliantly white.
The sun kept on shining the wall turned brown and
finally self ignited, and since it was a house wall the house
burnt down, it took the fire truck one hour to get to there.
But out of the ashes raised a ruffled cockatoo with a lighter
in its claws, flew to the neighbouring house, where it sat
flicking it. A police officer tried to shot it, but missed,
the bird flew to the forest and many fires began, the arson
stopped, it...

GREEN Chapter Nine
As Malik drove back home he thought about the meeting he
was suppose to have with Jade. "I wonder what Jade wants
to meet with me about". Club Envy was the most known and
talked about strip club in all of Green Haven. Just about
every hardcore partygoer and clubber partied at Club Envy.
Malik was the first to arrive. He waited by the entrance
and watched as strippers and customers entered Club Envy.
"Do you like what you see?" asked Jade as she walked up
to Malik. "What's good Jade? Wow I never seen you in
a skirt before". "We only...
