Allen Ginsberg Appreciation Thread
Let's begin with his most famous poem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdnlSh3_KF4 Howl - For Carl Solomon I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient…

lips
A touch of lips with distant gaze a heart that's drained emotions become so tamed no passion, lack love thinking nothing more thinking nothing of no warm embrace just broken dreams and rough fingertips A staring gaze to see right through cast empty soul no passion in your pain no lack of self-restrain thinking nothing more…

Stretch to death if he allows
Deep breath and a sigh Squinty eyed smile lit by Mornings sun Fresh cup and a steamed vanity Falling leaves dance with the cool breeze Smells of fresh lumber and the echo of hammers speak of tales to be The sun tells my neck lunch is near Just a sip...maybe two The tingle sweats through Quips with Joe and a pint to go An…

Coffee Before Hello
A point of time is a story that stops and starts, and next, is rewritten. A locked door without a coffee smell: I look and see staff conversing within shades of semi-darkness behind the coffee bar. I will be kind if he door is unlocked, and I check my watch again. Open doors are a blessing, and I give this door a few…

Tailor Made
100,000 tousled strands of hair 61 duets with the sky 39 cigarettes, and one holy fuck later the threads I’ve unstitched are all seamless, and I seem less certain they were ever the way, for this seamstress, who sits, blowing smoke rings to watch them break apart like arms, or eyelids, when words aren’t enough to fall into.

peep, squeak, rustle
Pushing and rustling through the overlapping green stuff on my knees comfortable but on them still pleased I wonder why it took me so long oh was it necessary to starve painfully and to live on cold water to understand the nature of everything there or here or no it was that grass quite thick or the shade in which perhaps…

The January Cold
San Diego is just a kiss away Like a gypsy sitting on the oceans coast Misty in the morning like a painted lady She has everything a man could ask for Just outside the southern border she is waiting there Dancing in the streets Smiling As she wraps herself around you. The January cold and the holy ghost Ride along up her…

smells of
and the beautiful torn thorn the split in half of silver the sliver for each in two and a kiss stings and a kiss rots of honey, smells of alfalfa and dew fresh cut and the old house still has a day dreaming as still as a day dream from an ill child wrought iron would be the gate and when opened invited in all in sin walls…

Beautiful Tragedy (Part I)
he saw her sadness in the stars last night, and today it rains hard. he felt her disenchantment in the wind last night, today he feels cold. darkness even in light, he will carry this for all time. the ice on the window hides what’s inside, does he need to hide from her? solitary of a new kind, so much lost…

Folding the Void and Making Snowflakes
The chimes are ringing, as we run from mouth to mouth, and across rooftops of the faceless and nameless, who leave our dreams and exist as bookmarks, bloody and beautiful and screaming, as they spread themselves open upon the pages we ignore like love, when it’s too immediate, or our shadows when they appear bigger than…

mini-mouse tries to recall how make a little noise
The weather's right to sing tonight (while looking at the moon) I'd be outside just wand'ring round if I could find a tune I need to find a simple rhyme (to organize my mind) a simple rhyme, that goes in time like those from sticks gone by I've lost the habit of saying much (but 'spose I might retrieve it) I've lost the…

Shady Grove
The wisdom of a hundred years Stirs the still of shady grove The eagle flies above the trees And the rabbits on the run. Peace lays still under the moon lit night down on shady grove All along shady grove the eagle flies and the rabbits hide. Down on shady grove Like my kin before me I was born on shady grove And like my…
