Rotting corpse
Chained around the neck

Has fallen
Finally from
Nostril zone.

Bad deeds
Undone

All is left

And come
To right

The sweetest

Smell

Of freedom

The Golden Age of Man
Mike Adam Feb 2024
The view from Olympus
Is partially obscured

By cloud, wispy
And sad against
The elongated Drought-

But I see Them-
Kicking up dust-

Thrusting their tiny
Toothpicks
Pointed and tipped

With rust
Or blood.

The horses blink
Through Armour

Longing for the Plain...

Aegean glinting-
Shrunken by
Lack
Of Rain

Madness of family
Mike Adam Jul 2018
How do you know
So much

You family
Youyoung ones?

(A machette

Spilt asunder-
Branches

Bamboo folds)

All you were told

(Not lies,
Pretend protection)

How come

Little innocents,

We knew
So much?

Jungle
Mike Adam Sep 2023
Light and wet
Meet broad leaved canopy

Dark and moist beneath tendrils
Coil softly
******* soft decay from sodden undergrowth
Lush and dry

Howls of monkey, flashing bird
And life oozing through every porous
Ant hole
Leaf loop
Trunk of wood hard grown, soft in death

This is the Jungle

Corner of the room
Crevice of mind the
Womb forest of warmth
Of home

Soft succulent home
Tender as bruised fruit
Fallen from high
Nourishing the nut
Seed of new delight

Fallen space makes crazy yearning for the light
Wet width of green green
Soft soft soft growth

Rivers spring up unannounced from the
Jungle
The Jungle is home
Home is soft green filtered light and wet wet
Water

Soft coils hammock me gently in the
Jungle
Home

Raise the hammock-

Beware the coco-nut-
Monkey twisting fruit
To land.

I shall praise the utter
Beauty and efficacy

Of non-doing.

Sen me to the mountain!

Face scorched by fire
Back frozen by ice

Not asteroid obviously

Perhaps a comet
With orange tail
Trailing from my

Runs

Sing like the

Releasing seed.

Thanks to

Swells a spirit song
To breathe within

Carried to the nest-

With a stick the

In orange

Marching in
Columns to set up-
Once again

A home for Queen-
Soldiers patrolling
And castles of

Sand arising-
