Freshly bathed
Hair entangled in long curls
Looked as dainty
As a wax doll
Touch and will melt

Glow on her face
Yet firm like a rock
Cannot be touched
Or she will cast a spell

Carved perfectly
Her beauty was mesmerizing
She walked like

Drunk Dream

Awake at three in the morning

   My dreaming turned sour

Kicked me out of bed it did

     At this ungodly hour

Twisting turning wrenching gut

     I was dreaming of a drink

I put it down the hatch I did

     Didn't even stop to think

Bully for You "El Diablo"

The black hoof strikes down the ground

Pulling back the earth with a scary sound

A second hoof pulls splashes from the rain

Red eyes reflecting with hateful distain

Measuring the matador for deadly pain

Sexual Pain

At times I rise

In search of sexual pain

Periodically I lie

In search of sexual misery

Who is this spirit

Knocking at my door

What is this feeling

That keeps me running back for more

In need of healing

Sore as the art of grief

Awaiting to flesh upon flesh

Demons of sudden misery

I must I must I must.

Neither rhythm nor words

But a collaborated inquiry.

As my temperature rises

I reach high tide.

And watch natural instincts.

Instinctively of

Even the common cold Is a luxury I can’t afford to suffer through For I’ll give in to temptation And develop complications In a day or two Grow blistering drops of sweat About my neck and head And if I remember Hippocrates The sophist of mucus and piss

Bread Crumbs for Starving Birds

By Michael Lee Johnson (Version 1)

Smiling across the ravine

snow cloaked footbridge.

Prickly ropes slick with ice

Medium-Sized Box

Stuck inside a medium-sized box.

Tap tap...

What's that?

A fragile psyche

A lost mind

A trapped voice

Fearful bliss

But does that exist?

Well

Anything is possible

When you're stuck inside a medium-sized

I am your shadow
And your strength
I am your fear
And also your failure
I am your future
And your present

I want to be your reason to live
I'd want to be the sun
That stares at you in mornings

A day so bright

The radiant sun

Has almost killed

The darkness

Under his feet

Yet this day has in it

Thousands of Smile tears grief sorrow

Smile and laughter

Fear and disgust

Engulfed in itself

This day bring us together

And takes away someone special

It makes us smile

The grey stallion lay dead.

His head cocked queer against his frame.

His mighty muscles sooner would bash a coyote

Than lay a welcome feast to scavengers.

Raised to the call of the wild

Homage to Harold Pinter after reading his poem 'Death" and on the nature of certainty after hearing an interview with a mother who refuses immunization for her child:

What do we know?

Do we know anything?

Do we know nothing?

Do we know?

How do we know?

Do
