hey man, nice title

by jhon baker

It passed into midnight and that is what the date bears.

Have this yet?

one poem in that collection begins….

Stuck outside under an umbrella  ….

you’ll have to go there and download it to read the rest.

you are my own brother

– For MC

 

you are my own brother.

 

my AIDS stricken angel.

 

a heartbreak.

 

2.

I’ve come to find

I’ve always loved you

and out love flow thick

through shared veins.

 

could I promise you a rose garden?

or no, a field of daisies and sunflowers.

 

3.

you cannot help but be beautiful

and lovely

in summer hats

still dancing

under umbrellas in the rain.

 

– Hoc Scripsi

A good day for a few links

by jhon baker

One of the most loving things I have ever read

take it to the pamphlets and soon Guerilla pamphlets #15 are both VERY good bets

Take it to the streets poetry – many good links here for many good volumes

Get a subscription here if you can

Always a good site

Newer press but they accept some excellent work

keep checking this store for when it opens – if you want something you’ll have to beat me to it!

another of his links

good reading in general

 

okay – that’s enough for today –

but lastly – it’s older than most being posted here lately but I like it.

 

dying roses are not broken promises

 

literal or not

we bled on pages

and pages and

pages of uncertain poetry.

women bleed with efficiency.

 

dying roses are not

broken promises as

are crumbling petals

no longer red.

 

– Hoc Scripsi

 

okay – I’m adding one today – don’t be a bully – this isn’t poetry, it’s about bullying and a very very deeply affecting story beginning on sept 24th post – read though from there to the most current – you won’t regret it and I wept openly.

Day of days

by jhon baker

Garcia Lorca, born today, today I love you, like everyday but today I weep for this love and its end on a moonless night.
a short vignette of sorts…

Garcia Lorca, my Federico – a poet born to violent end
we sing you, decorate your memory with flowers
we sing you and your thousand gypsy songs
we sing you, we sing you a myriad of songs and stars
caught in the heavens looking down

on a completely different subject depending on ones point of view

AIDS is first reported in 1981 and today is that anniversary (30th) – today I love but not love AIDS – today I weep, profoundly – I think of artists, musicians, dancers, lovers and free men and woman all dying or dead of a disease whose name was never spoken by the elected leader of the time – such ignorance and more research put into the common cold than in research for what was killing and would kill – a fantastically dreaded disease which eats not only at the body but at the mind, soul and spirit.
I was born before AIDS but in large it has defined parts of my life, touched others and, if I can say it, graced the rest.

and Micael, Micael… O, now forever on this day shall I think of you, dance to your being –
