James McLain Poems

When shopping for bagels remembering
the one I ate helped dad to pick through
some others.
Remember open mouths frequently lose
...

My thoughts run away to hide
seeing rocks I turn them over
to find pleasures discarded.
...

Elegance of shadow wins the race
passers by such looks
cannot erase.
Blood if boiled leads to troubled
...

Of nowhere, red cliffs, for miles,
stolen land, you sleep
the dreams of tears.
Your lips, are not of mine, they cry
...

Others can not will not have not
that is not the lot I choose.

Explaining to the sky egales fly
...

Hunger is fasting always eating bubbles asking
for a people stick on which to chew.
Leaking tears of spice to mellow tast of you.
Sitting on a bay of sunken docks sniffing reused
...

Slightly skewed this mirrored face the mask
flew through a waiting hand fingers
clutched some dawn it
was not you.
...

Early riser, equipments gathered
Boat no hazards, safely hitched
Catching bait for my well, i trust
Flying free across the open water
...

Whatever pays the rent..
Spell check is nice so
is Bling Bling.. If) it(speeds them in they will sing
to there own tune anyway
...

Is it really safe with you?
I know you know I know!
You share very little of
this I know as well.
