finally they captured her alive in a net.
a footnote in the government programme of localized deities
and punishment for being unknown to them.
she stayed imprisoned
and ceased to interact meaningfully with the heavens.
these ordinary monsters
their food was ambrosia but they bled when injured.
even apparent gods might be humans incognito

(I cut and assembled this a month ago but my cat knocked my cutting board on the floor and I had to psyche myself up to find and sort all the pieces)

on tatami mats
love made in the afternoon
through your eyes
leaving

irony was a
Members Only jacket and
nose raw from cocaine

#Haiku #AgingGenXer #FoundPoem

look at the crook of
the bridge of my nose and note
the blows i've taken

#haiku #FoundPoem circa 2009

you interrupt me,
asking if i talk to god
as i shut my mouth.

#haiku #FoundPoem circa 2009

denied the secret of fire
she turned to her mother for advice
gentle child
newborn god
our fortitude is the whole point

, but more than 500 acres of forest and moonlight were now mine.

Ghosts sitting under oak trees. Ghosts with their feet in a creek. Ghosts sleeping next to each other against the walls of old barns.

I said no more.
There was a small corridor
that ended -
with a large iron door.

Strange Victorian art of multiple doorway corridor leading to surreal outer world.

i'll share my cocaine
poetry but regret the
lines you steal from me

in this final mile
time ticks away to a tune
playing yesterday

#Haiku #FoundPoem

i sit in silence,
becoming the turbulence
of an empty room.

seething river ~ a found poem (YouTube titles)

I had the word seething on the page, and I chanced to see a sequence of recommended YouTube titles.
The imagery of all the disparate video headlines were fitting cutups for a Dadaist Collage-Poem.

Word to the wise: a found poem

Four lines of text from a “Read This First” insert in an instruction manual:

“Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.”

like
a single
bookshelf

by heart. but
a
moment

immediately
sounding
over and inside
the next
disfigurement

I stayed at a bed and breakfast over the weekend and had the best text response ever.

Text message screenshot.

Me: Good evening, Edith! Is it possible for us to store some leftovers in the fridge when we return?

Edith:

Sorry my fridge
Over full for a party 
That I have tomorrow
