Like A Leopard
Copyright 2025 by Michael Walker
Like a leopard I will lie in wait
Like a leopard
Its eyes flashing green
Like a leopard I will take you down
Along your path
Your path of desecration
And greed
Like a leopard I will lie in wait
Your path is death
And I am death's engine
My eyes
Flashing
Green...

The Fourth One
Copyright 2024 by Michael Walker
The fourth one
Looked like an angel
Walking in the fire
There were three men only
In the furnace
But the fourth one
Saved them from the pyre
Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet
In amazement
Didn't we send three men
To those flames so dire?
The fourth one
Looked like an angel
And saved them
Saved them...

I Think
copyright 2025 by Michael Walker
I think I am pursuing justice
I lie awake at night
Thinking about the future of the banks
I think I am
Pursuing happiness
I lie awake at night
Thinking about the future
Of the black
My bed is a haunted
Museum
My hands shake
Here in the dells
I am trying to pursue
One more day
As...

Rio Grande

Copyright 2024 by Michael Walker


There's a life preserver

On the sand

There’s a story

In that ship

Someone risking everything

To cross the Rio Grande


This river doesn't care for us

This river in this time

But still we're rolling everything

To cross the Rio Grande


So far away from home

A tent inside a train

So far away from home

And...

The lyrics for the song I posted

Something (copyright 2024 by Michael Walker)

2
The longing for
The undefinable Something
Just bought a new
Cell phone
And that is something
Far away
From the necessary
Purchase
And then there are drinks
With strangers
Who melt into
Your mother and your brother’s
Face
Under the mist of alcohol
And then
Melt away
Entirely
When the barroom lights
Get dimmed.
Like Dylan once sang
Lo and behold
Lo and behold
Looking’...

Poet

(Copyright 2024 by Michael Walker)


I was a poet

I am not a poet

Anymore

Your ways

Are strange

To me

Your lack of

Empathy

Is

Strange

To me.

I was a poet

I am not a poet

Anymore

Your highways

Go nowhere

Your bridges

Are collapsing…

I was a poet

I am not a poet

Anymore

You speak

All trivialities

You speak about...

Walt Whitman
Copyright 2023 by Michael Walker
Walt Whitman went forth one day
Out in Brooklyn at the break of day
Walt Whitman went forth one day
A blue cathedral
And an urge to pray
Say hello to the ferry driver
Say hello to the river
Say hello to all the diamonds
Dancing free
In the sky…
Walt Whitman went forth one day
Manhattan yeah...

A Cryptid (copyright 2024 by Michael Walker)

That dinosaur Poetry
Does not exist
And I believe them
But every year
They seem to find
Something
Usually deep in the mind
Of the Congo
Footprints
Or spoor
Bones that might be
More than
Merely stone
True
Artifacts
That dinosaur Poetry
Does not exist
They tell me
And truly
I believe them
But every year
Every expedition...

I am very tired

I don't want no

Burgers

Don't want no

Fries

Don't want no

Amazon

Or

Disney

Plus

Don't want no

Walmart

Or Target

Or

Best Buy

Don't want no

Spotify

Feeding me

Zeros

And

Ones

What I want

Is to be beside Levin

In the noonday sun

Sycthing grass

Until the sweat

Stings

My eyes…
