doug bentley Poems

After the cord separating us
forever was cut from you,
snake of sensory ecstasy,
...

Forebrain handsteps on lunar surface
Become first prints of man-on-moon
Under pressure of a million
...

you see,
what the alien
overlooks
...

Before the illumining darkness,
the simple abstruse ever beheld
as in a glass darkly; before
...

my tiny eye in the sky
sits squarely on zhongnanhai,
for o'er google earth it sprites
black shade cast, moon bright
...

When supernova donna strickland
strove proudly to her nobel microphone
her immortal lecture to the dons
of academic culture might have
...

by overwhelming popular consensus
and library loads of historical evidence
it is hands down crystal clear-
...

when the millenia long road of rock
hard sentiment, the vatican,
ejects its paper thin
gallery of dripping condoms,
...
