Donald, which chimera are you?

Oh lion, liar,
snake, oh goat
neither reptile, mammal,
nor best of all time.

You serpent, low
belly, cold, scaly,
goat, you bloat,
the smell ain’t weird,
it’s disgusting.
You fibbin’ fat
scoundrel, mouthpiece
for those who feel lions
don’t get their due,
who exactly are you,
chimera?

You inspire duplicity,
engender fecundity
of little sins,
that collide and collude
until they exude
you, patchwork monster.
None of you is real, but

the colossal infection,
demand for genuflection
before an altar despoiled;
your hunger for tribute,
while you relieve yourself
in a deluded church;
preach good against bad,
steal from the offering.

It’s your brand.

More Poetry:

Paper time

Paper is a Time Machine, but it only goes backward in time.
Don’t ask where it begins, I don’t know where to begin,
but I know when you read you’re transported back in time.
I’m certain of that, but not much else. Is it part of the pencil

Radish

Santa Claus of the garden,
you bring snap of winter
to the mouth, crisp frosty heat.
Some call you icicle, watermelon,
breakfast, French, pink, orange, purple
(dirt had a real grip on that one.)

The killing and dismemberment of Osiris

Gods are murdered in ritual,
with family in attendance.
If not as executioners, then moral support.
The god must be torn apart
thrown into all that is and is not.
Sister brides always grieve
journey to join the god together,
as he has always been put back together.

Mom on deck

Call for Mom.
She’s needed on deck;
no one else will do.
Who could possibly replace her?
Santa Claus or God?
