James McLain Poems

Knowing your past life and you want to know.
Over the course of long centuries, currently, searches,
follow the river to the the sea of no rest.
Knowledge not fathered to suffer so much.
...

Aspects of the truth if false and not in truth if said.
Aspects that if what is false if true then not if said.
...

In my most recent dreams,
I've had to deal with the interaction of physical consciousness
and watch moving time stand still.
Physical world of vibrating strings.
...

Nowhere is that look on his face,
she enjoys looking down at him.
Life is a constant rhythm.
Watching, slender forearms flexing
...

Seven billion reasons O' why I hide
my wife and children, I can't see.
The hard working Muslim I won't be.
Eight years old the girl, that wears a dress
...

Their is less traffic at night
I'm alone
except for him
mum works at night.
...

Water will but not the sound of wind.
Surging mighty swells an awful roar the voice of water still.
In time and space and movement is that water will.
Water taken by the heat and lost inside it's own.
...

Send those black kids, that I don't send.
President Obama,
his two girls will, he sure knows.
What bugs me the least
...
