Martin Lochner Poems

Mindless things
the stars, the mountain and the river
as a thousand men march off to battle!
...

Flash back still (anatomy)

Insomniac stills in negative
flashing on the walls and the fridge
...

Awkwardly I am

awkwardly I am
living in my flesh
...

Eternity surrounds the ancestral porch
where he sat chewing memories
framed and existing with strict eyes
...

two sparrows land on an old tar pole
two women enter the laundry yard

“Chirp-Chirp” the sparrows say
...

birth registered
filed inJerusalem
no less jittery fingers
...

I felt that you hesitated when you composed me dear Lord?
sitting in you spleen, embryonic in your everlasting midnight
celestial morning a poem, bundled in teenager arms crying “life over”
...

midnight hazards refracts in the mist,
owl eyes reflects in the pass,

little brother grabs hold, clawing hunger in my arm,
...

As the corners becomes rounded
We come out of the shadows
Our peace are disturbed
Now visible to the world
...
