'From ooze to mire's migration' timothy r gates, 9/24/2009
From ooze to mire's
migration
I am who that I am that I am,
as with the
I AM.
Adam couldn't deal with
Lilith,
Eve not less of a challenge
mother of all life's spring
Angel's fall
Angel's sprawl
born to German, Irish immigrants,
one married a Cherokee,
she was mentored by a Mammy
Mother, Father...

welcome to Fall timothy r gates, 9/23/2009
Anesti, alathos!
Spring has given us
resurrection
Her repose is near,
Fall hums,
whistles, swirling leaves
dried limbs, ponds recline
Springs pollen,
replaced with
Falls earths dust
Summers prance
teasing us with
fairies silhouettes,
pirouettes, skipping aimlessly
till now,
Fall.
Makarios, koimesis!
Falls Equinox
smiles,
Winters hues, soon,
but first I must complete my
painting.

'those lingering aromas' timothy r gates, 9/19/2009
coming across an old book,
from Grandpa
old people's smell, still
finding the dugout, forgotten,
immediate residual high
glass bowl, same thing, lost
.004 bud behind copper screen
time-space continuum b.s.
h.s. 'P'hoto
first love
my heart, feel it, still
memory banks, love making
euphemisms, literalisms, synergism
rush out the door, pulled me back in
her amorous remains...

Afghanistan some thoughts timothy r gates, 9/16/2009 **
Afghanistan,
good war?
Iraq,
bad war?
Vietnam,
good, then
bad war?
WWII,
come lately,
but still called
a
good war?
war, good or bad,
to our good or ill,
still robs all
of potential prolonged
innocence
fuels
nationalism, racism,
hatred for what is
called
The Enemy.
long ago
an end to The War
to end...

'tears fall' timothy r gates, 9/14/2009
tears fall
flow
fill that Psalmist's bottle
too full, needing more
bottomless tombs.
we join in,
baptizing
what we do not know
with what we hope we know,
knowing
no lone tear
hits
a dry earth.
my favorite things timothy r gates, 9/16/2009**
some,
but not merely,
things,
to borrow a phrase,
my favorite things,

blessings without hues

'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.'
hate's boundaries:...

'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,
'genesis, perhaps a better...

'Naking's Hiroshima'** or 'Hiroshima and Nagasaki, three days apart'** timothy r gates, 8/06/2009**
'we were not there'
they already wept.
'necessary evil,'
other they's say.
guileless violation
they raped Naking
allied, we made them
crispy critters.
Disconnect.
we are they, they are we
'reap what you sow'
or,
'karma,'
only a shadow
causing a
toe stub?
Tears sufficient
for baptism,
not easily
effused.
