Raw Mojo
From my poetry blog
Raw Mojo The bleak, blushes of dusk. A Highland wind licks at a heart, wrapped in leaves. Buried beneath a pine cone, needles. Drink 'til I can drink no more; just watch the dead impose in plagues. A girl, dark, unfamiliar, dares to draw the focus of these phantom scarred eyes, blood rushing in her alluring anonymity. A taste of ash, I eat my father. I am an amalgamation of anecdote and mannerism. Assimilated slow and left to boil. Magisterial day. Insouciant night. Sin suggests an arbitrator. I need a new translation, from the prophet's native tongue. ©AndrewJamesMurray
Dog Days
From my poetry blog.
Dog Days pockets of dereliction the dog days of July hanks of grass and shaggy-maned stalks who can deny the sapping sun at its highest point lording over our genuflecting straw gods in the square in the shade of a spreading elm the fatigue of noon-day workers ©AndrewJamesMurray
Ocean
From my poetry blog.
Ocean With an ardent longing, sending her mating call over corpulent dune to my sand-sprinkled raptures, wildly adoring her untameable passion but knowing my place; walking these ravaged islands, carrying the frantic coupling in my bedchamber, alone, tasting the salty spume still, her lingering kisses an invitation to slip beneath her surface, sighing. ©AndrewJamesMurray

balletic dandelion sugars in summer meadows other people wearing last year's yoke don't stop to blow all through the night the humid dark seeps through open windows reclaiming them from disquieting dreams the town dampening down in dew
