The end of Kennedy.

Searching for a pumpkin, and finding a gourd,

sparked the need to record such festivities of explocential* shennanigains.

Co-ordinating the combined effort of dinning room drink fests,

bonnet fulled mayham,while finding oneself in a plural of rafters and tunnels

with options of further infiltration with package tape and bar stools

which lead to the direct responce of the morning after rediculousnus.

Banned for life!!

So we set a cot in the… Continue

These Dirty Dishes

please

engage me with your eyes

and not a complicit ring on that finger

because somnambulant pride is really dribble drabble

a complete waster

my slippery digits dousing discount dishes

warm and pruned

check once and twice for leftover pieces

clasping wanting wares of a finished meal

your legs bend and bicker with squeaky sneakers and dirty laces

a-line body leaning against my kitchen counter

verbal nuances zig and zag from your… Continue

"Inabilty" A Poem

“Inability”

River Murphy

June-15-2008©

As fear fades, a slight dribble in the well, circling the drain, falling down to guilt

One asked a question that plucked god’s strands, polished by the tears of angel glands

That took with the earth, the roots that lay, the neurological complexity of gaea’s vertebrae

And sent, was an answer

Drifting out like the rippled aftermath of a bird’s wing stroking an unsteady surface

The quakes came charging in,… Continue

Kitchen

There is a smell in the kitchen,
Like stale silver oxidizing in the cupboard.
Unused, and arrogant.
You ignored the smell yesterday
At breakfast. But I
Heard you sniffing, and saw
Your nostrils a flare.

So are you going to set the mousetrap
Or am I?

Cha Cha Chatter

Hello handsome five o'clock shadow
Your hand on my shoulder is very heavy, you know.
Your mature teeth chatter, inhibiting speech.
And I'm not willing to speak your mind.

There Is No Title For This Era

Adjustments are posthumous, predicated and unauthorized

Misstamped mistakes are praised in retrospection

While critiqued as present day negligibility.

Awakening to damp sheets knotted tightly around my ankles

Breeds frustration in early morning reverie

And guilt is rampant in the ear of the one beside me.

We didn't think we'd have to share any truths last night

But the morning light begs them

I'd sooner see you go; small town candor makes you… Continue

Onion

I'm watching you cook supper
And am jealous
You spend yourself
With produce
Leaving nothing
For me
Really, I sit at the table
Pretending to read a book
Surreptitiously wishing
I were the onion
Making you cry.

"Bi-Dimensional Turbulence"

Poem I wrote about a week ago.

“Bi-Dimensional Turbulence”

Written by: River A. Murphy

June-3-2008 ©

Her name was hush, being that what she gave, and all men’s thoughts a sin

Her nights, they say, would turn to stone, all meat that lie above the bone

Eclipsing the heart of the one whose soul, that did not hold, the name of her true love

Take my hand you apparition filled with pride,

Your singing revenge, the… Continue

Poem For Michael Hugh

If you weren't going to read this

If they weren't going to judge

Your life would be much different

Whether told truthfully or not

our opinions would be holy

pedestals would rise, bearing gifts of prejudiced pride

consuming a creativity of set standards

Golden medallions bought with milk quickly tarnish our egos

the envious eclipse any livelihood to date

Do you understand where I'm going with this

This colloquial discourse of artistic… Continue

I Will Never Be A Mother Again

We do this little ditty

in the room with the least privacy

urging the whole world of no one

to interpret what we say when

eyes drip and drop to sleep

and nose hairs rattle snake shake

no i don't trust you but that's not your fault

track records be damned, i seek bravery in the face of a scary duo

gently held for a time, in confidence and organic order

moments like these are the icons of life

the slathering of stimuli, mixed amongst… Continue
