I am a scuba diving, distance running, retired park ranger grandfather living in South Carolina. My work has appeared in a number of publications including: Guernica, Raleigh Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, Vinyl Poetry, The Adroit Journal, and The Monarch Review. I've been nominated for Best of the Net, Best New Poets, and three-times for the Pushcart Prize. http://kevinheatonpoetry.webstarts.com/
Poet on Cannabis
The mathematical osmosis
of obtuse adrenalines ululating
in an immaculate collaboration
between maximum greens,
like epiphytics in tall osmunda.

Cerebral Kayak
My brain.
Brain wave-train.
Consciousness flows counter to mainstream.
Backwash: upstream, downstream.
Reverse hole pour-overs.
Outflow.
Cartwheel side-surf.
Back flow mind illumination.
The river current’s twirling, peaceful minuet.
My brain.
Brain drain gas pain.
Flatulent cranial bath flood.
Drained backwater scull ache.
Waterfall cleanse-plunge.
Magnum Opus in Blue
Pit bull-cat scan
sinew pull-muscle tear
suture sew-traction sand
bear trap-skeet shoot
abscess boil-cyst lance
Chagall
Renoir
Chopin.
Brain storm-migraine
saddle block-hamstring pull
epidural-loincloth flap
knee bend-toe flex
node growth-seed wart
Levant
Van Gogh
Gauguin.
