The Barica Geel 'secret'

The Barica Geel ‘secret’
Sugar for dimes make
this fella
a happy tree bird

Freedom Bird

Freedom Bird
He holds me and I feel like soaring high,
Chirping my little tune,
Stretching our black and white wings.

 

The way he loves me,
I fall and he sees me fly;
he holds me and I feel like soaring high.

Finding no reason to cry,
within his steady hold,
chirping my little tune.

The ground singes our feet,
but all I feel is his hold while
stretching our black and white wings.

Intensely Vivid Daydream

Intensely Vivid Daydream 

All my new friends

talk like the South,
clothe in Forever 21, speak in riddles. 

College campus is cray-cray

and the hazing –traditional
but I love this bald-eagle country. 

The hand entwined with

mine, American or Mexican?
I love him heartily –though no Aruba 

I wake up from

my intensely vivid daydream
in the arms of blue, white, red. 

Though, the wrong one.
The one with Gouda
cheese, red tinted windows, boerenkool but you.

Medium Man

Medium Man

That’s what I do
in my home-made T-shirt;
break bones and lick their sorrow up.

It’s a drug I
cannot decline with ease;
punching soulless boys and watching their sap stream.

Once I deserved to
be more than this;
each evening pondering my mistakes by candlelight.

Sipping my English cup.
pinkies up –sophistication prominent
letting the echoing screams die out –dead

Sweaty Philtrum

Sweaty Philtrum

My ma used to say that there is nothing like
a woman possessing a perspiring brow;
She is hard working or ready to psych
you out! Then my bro would repeat in a row;
‘’A bitch with a sweaty philtrum is a binch
bi-bitch with an itch, ready to take an inch’’
Where my father would beat us with leather ‘cause
there is only submission in his world –buzz.

One Rock

One Rock

You’re annoyed when I’m wanting;
you’re annoyed when I’m indifferent.
I’m but one rock on your island.

I zigzag around you
defying the rules on the sea shore –but
you’re annoyed when I’m wanting.

Maybe tomorrow, if pigs swim
I’ll move my plastic alligator –but
you’re annoyed when I’m indifferent.

So what does it matter anyways –just
don’t worry your pretty little beach sign.
I’m but one rock on your island.
