richard ilnicki Poems

When the mysterious'They' finally do decide
to administer the necessary tests,
questions as quizzes
designed to trip me up,
...

Behind iron bars
I'm found contemptible.
Just one ugly man among many.
They pass the trays
...

When she reaches over infinity
stretching from behind
some uncharted geographical place,
her hands comfort offended
...

They referred to his 'pronounced dead' body
as his remains. These Neanderthals
were obviously unfamiliar with the english language;
they'd probably never learned to read or write
...

Their noses' flared nostrils
were stuck up
into the fluffed air; they were seeking
to breathe deeply
...

God, the tailor,
our providential robe maker
hjas taken our nakedness,
shame and guilt,
...

blinad as a bat by love I can't see
anyone else but her.
dark shadows manifest immaterial
and hide the moon,
...

Tonight the soft rain comes
and the wind slices whistling blind sounds
cutting a forlorn song's stanzas,
...

I was famished,
that lean and hungry look,
but not of Cassius.
An obvious perishing
...

By my nature
i am not a hunter.
hunting implies
that killing takes place.
...
