Armadillo Poet Poems

The ship, it sinks
And to my loss
A cable grabs my leg
...

And they kill.

The first dog's
face looms as
...

There's a pleasure watching ink dry
Just that moment when, if you touch,
The words blot on the page
And the feeling behind the words
...

There are a few prohibitions
But only one commandment:

Remember you are an intelligent being.
...

Sweet-
Red claws
Cover pink
Skin-meats.
...

In bonnets of blue
With red brushes,
Drips of indian yellows
Invite the ant and bee
...

like...talk to the gods
metal towers
aloft tapered mountains
broadcast
...

While surveying a distant shore
I came across some marble steps

From at their base I gazed upon
...

Do they sit when they call

Some get chased from the wind's shadow
To the shaking leaf
...

When I dream
I see her folded

Almost head to toe
...

To look at her in the waves
which jump as dolphins
onto the ridges of her back,
...

[The Qin dynasty,
ending 206 BC,
took with it the last
meaning of a word.]
...

'Water is a renewable resource'

Which means on some scale
Its use is to be considered
...

'I am nothing but a mere raft of soil' -Murari Sinha

Water emptied
From one clear glass
...

Nobly feathered the
withdrawn play-write
returns to break the unities
...

the Jaguaresse,
shivers
golden lines
...

The Best Poem Of Armadillo Poet

Whale Of A Tale

The ship, it sinks
And to my loss
A cable grabs my leg

I take a breath
And see the sailors
Scream bubbles in despair

And as the last light ripples
A whale comes
And drifts

The whale gives a strong
But melancholy song
And I see her eat
Each thing that peeps
Bubbles, feet and all

She grabs the anchors
Of the ship
And with me
Starts to fall

In the blackest of her eye
She tells a tale:

The whale wanders
From shoal to pole
Skirting her calfling along
With the tip of her fin
She smiles at him
And lifts whenever he falls

But the story she tells
Is of flight
And of fear...

They chase and she turns
From the ice to the deep
But she knows they are fast
At fin

They chase and she turns
But soon after she learns
That the calfling will drown
In the deep

She lifts as she can
But with only a fin
She cannot hug
Or defend

So instead she
Presents to the sky
Her young lamb
And soon after
The feast begins

I fear of a world
That scares mothers
But I have only
The time to cry:

Woe...To the red..In the deep...Of the sea
To mothers, your young ones may die.
