The Russian's Garden

Off in the distance – yes – thunder

But no rain, the humidity clinging to my under

Arms free of burden and water

Does the universe matter

Or do we have to think of it first

Yuri in his Russian-Speak walks into my office

Singing some old village harvest song

My limp meager white trash bag in his mitt

No rain here, he says, looking at me

He grew up not knowing who he is

No father to look to, not there to turn to

A major part of his life missing

Only flash backs in his head to cling to

An ache in his heart he doesn’t know how to fill

Needs a positive male figure to guide him right

His mother is doing the best she can

But only a man can teach him to be a man

Running cold hands down your heated body

Kissing your every inch to keep you warm

I whisper are you truly ready

For lust of moods

These sexual wounds

Your outside will never say how smooth

You are within every groove

Look into my eyes and settle

Listning to the tales of a past girl  with a halo

Thinking what i told her

I have been to hell unlike you

Your presents of a great vine

I recall such a comotose

Blackening my sights

My destruction and deseased light taken from me

All without rights my hope and fight

So strange.

The man she had

dearly loved

for thirty years,

who had dearly

loved her in return.

Where?

I mean really-

Where do we go?

When the sunlight snows,

When the wind won’t blow

The last candles out

 “Blue Baby Bethany”

.

That quick

Disintegration

Unassembled part,

Full skin of sun

Stretched out,

Unimaginable force-

Black shouts out

.

1970 you pushed me out into the world

Second blessing

But was you ready to be

A mother of two

Something else kept

Calling you

A stronger hold

Being a mother not enough

The disregard for others,

Is what makes you, you,

Not seeing the real world,

Never acknowledging the truth,

Self-centered,

Self-serving,

Fake person,

Undeserving,

Taking what does not,

Belong to you,

Like children’s trust,

And skies so blue,

You aura stinks,

Of rotten fish,

Sour intentions,

Meant to squish,

Absent baby father

Full time loser

Thinks having children

Everywhere make you a man

The most insignificant

Animal can reproduce

No brain power needed

Common Sense not involved

Brain beneath the waste

I will NOT be held down,

Held back or denied,

 

I make my OWN choices,

I steer my own life,

 

I refuse to be a victim,

Oppressed or ignored,

 

Push the wrong buttons,

And I’m out the door,

Knowledge is strength

And strength comes from knowledge

Educate you mind

Don’t let the system swallow you

Use you

Discard you

Rich get richer

And the poor are invisible
