'another Kennedy' ** timothy r gates, 8/27/2009
i remember
that day,
JFK's repose
near the grassy knoll.
Cuba's nemesis,
someone used this notion to
shoot our President.
little John saluted
his Daddy,
found his repose
in flight.
'Sweet Caroline'
sails with Daddy,
in her dreams.
fifth grade teacher
hated my President,
told us (yes, actually said this),
'The President kicked the bucket today.'

'angel's empathy' timothy r gates, 8/20/2009
looking down
from beneath
looking up
from above
ethereal footstool
terrestrial gallery
like Icarus' desire,
the surreal is too real
Messengers wanting to
cry out,
'They're merely children!'
their Master looks away,
voyeurs
must honor free will.
Angels' heartless hearts
reeling,
'What of their free will?'
sympathy, from the ignorant
empathy, from the fallen
dancing a dervish
singing Rachel's...

'angels don't always fly' timothy r gates, 8/13/2009
angels don't always
fly
do they die?
I bet they,
sometimes, feel they could say,
'bye, bye.'
angels don't always
fly
do they sigh?
I bet they,
at times, feel they could say,
'oh shit, you didn't fry?
Angels don't always
fly
do they lie?
I bet they,
sometimes, feel they could say,

'Naking's Hiroshima'** or 'Hiroshima and Nagasaki, three days apart'** timothy r gates, 8/06/2009**
'we were not there'

'necessary evil,'

guileless violation

Tears sufficient

'Dj vu' timothy r gates, 7/28/2009 for you,
Dj vu,
yesterday, 'now i long for.'
grandfather said,
'the only folks that talk of
the good old days
are those that don't remember them.'
I've walked into a room,
never been in it,
yet 'i feel like i've been here before,
don't you?'
today,
i am the butterfly
dreaming i'm a man;

'music's intuition' timothy r gates, 7/24/2009
distance,
dear to the woods
far as Rt 66
near through the woods.
he misses her,
when not seen,
aloof, face-to-face,
then awakened by a tune.
love's admiration
Agape's two step
strolls with Eros'
free form ballet,
pirouette
in the muse
typed, written, nowhere:
a-cerebral breakfast
a-terrestrial celestial tap.
knowing, sufficient
this
Music's intuition.

'lips' timothy r gates, 7/16/2009
it is those
lips
from between
these
whispers are squeezed
it is those
lips
from between
these
wisps are heard,
if near enough
if dear enough
if hear-ing enough
it is those, these,
lips
from which i
sing
spring
ping
ding
stop and do nothing
but
linger
from these
lips,
when i,
for a second,
am quiet,
hear.

ran through the lilies
irises
pine cones under my feet,
left dimples, pressed in
on the hill side,
singing everything recalled,
then singing
everything not recalled
the other two hills sang
back
and, me, too, back
yellow, offset with
blood red imprints
charcoal nose indentions
even the weeds hymned,
snow beards blown from their stems
nature's children
