BRANCHING TREES
support monkeys
and koalas
and snakes
not
all female
not easy to tell
by visage
by word
by mien
too late
if hole with stakes
guised
on route
with fantasies
from fiction
with patterns for hunger
relate to
intermittent emotional fasting
unbeknownst
to victims
and observers
pure
served by deluded soothsayers
and
opinionated opinion leaders
who know not monkeys
nor branches
except
for a few
carved
walking sticks
canes
for the self abused

CYCLES FOLLOW STAGES OR VICE VERSA
living things transform
from pupa to caterpillar
to bug
or burrefly
transmogrification
to a layman
transmigration
to a witchman
simply life
to a shaman
hair implant
to my sons in law

REGARDLESS
sometmes
without respect
and
no meaning
just another eleanor rigby
or father mckenzie
in another language
not a song
to remember
no gossamer wing
caressing an emotion
children
partitioning
themselves
not sharing
untill
time is called
for owning
parts and pieces
useful
or
appraised
without feeling
for burial
in spaces
spaces
bereft of
colour
and hue
or essence
of care
in a category of thing
or person
termed
but what good is it (he) (she)
a worth
dubious
in a past
no longer worthwhile

THOUGHTS FOR CUL-DE-SAC SOLITUDE
switches
shunting
flows
liquid
and
electric
have resistances
as squiggles
on drawings
and junctions
in doodles
life's portions
edible ones
subject to interchanges
and turnouts
sliced
by sharp instruments
words
tripwires
perorating
towards the finale
with
and without
gongs
and cymbals
falling on deity ears
plugged
and
also
shunted

TAPPING, JERKING, EVADING
non-circadian
involuntary
acts
some giggles
burps
unnecessary words
to keep going
during conversation
better allowed to dissolve
and then
afterwards
bored chatter
inconsequential
empties the glasses
if not a bottle or two
even when aware that
it has already been recorded
by Jerome*
on a boat
or at Christmas Eve
by ghosts now
and then
apparitions for reading
remembering
smiling
bringing some delight
before dinner
with
a single setting on the table
* Jerome K. Jerome

MYSTERY OF LOVE
love of land
love of art
love of another
love of self
illusions all
if not
delusions
love of sports
beginning
and ending
with watching
games
on fields and screens
or chest beating
and
opponent sleighting
chess and monopoly
are not sports
as such
though
they qualify
for owning wins
keeping winners
and
discarding losses
and losers
on a very personal scale
with just enough emotion
to hold at arms length
and
to reach
when needed
if needed
at a whim

PAYANDA
destek
savaşta
aşda
aşkda
işde
inşaat
ve
politikada olur
eş zamanlı
ve sonra yapılanı payandadır
takviyedir
amerikanın batısında
geçmişde
yerlı halk kırımındaki
yedinci süvari alayı
güncel
kıyımlarda
beşinci kol
geçerli
nedense
üç ve dördü gizliyerek
takviyeli pilav nohutludur
takviyeli aşk sa meşk değil
payanda gerektirir
pranga kullanılır
bazen de bukağı ile birlikte
kurum takviyesi
bilgelik
ister
hem iş
hem kişi
hem ortam
tanınıp
takviye
yöntemleri
araştırılır
din
dil
ırk
ayrıştırmadan
iklim değişiklikleri
ön görülerek
