1. Seven Letter Poem
muse
If I be your universal muse regarding the deep color
schemed sky in my happy stance
with my natural childish me
you my song and the melody constant
unwavering
Your knee brushing mine in the
Jack Frost evening
Chill the cold until warm
Where your lips and mine are
intermingling orchids
billowy in the perfumed breeze
delicate-strong in the pillow of our
belonging
2. unmerciful observation
WHIPLASH DESECRATE
Whiplash desecrate from the
corporate desolate
Upon orders from on high
a-scared of heights
and flights of fancy derring-do
Tell me
Am I scaring you?
Impulse purges
seals the deal
so to speak
if i may
may i bow
or posture to kneel
You may curtsy
if you so feel
Retain however
Ascertain
WHATEVER
Keeps you afloat
on friendless sea
and
if you pursue,
on bended knee,
(mind you-
with uncertainty)
Forgive
will give
Please don’t undo
that might envelope you
and in turn
may skip your turn
’tis true
Hate that such a fate
would ever befall you
before your
eyes dissect the sun
(to see what’s inside)
My friend
what have you done?
3. idyllic dosage
In Eden the Telephone Wires
in Eden the telephone wires cross the alleged sky
and i am praying for magic
The sign says speed limit
But the sign lies
crawling languidly through the sunburnt fields the evening shadows
mistake the day for a mortal
No man is an island but i am a rock i am an island close to
Eden’s star soaked shores
where the melting tar of the parking lot singes the scent of the
apparently undesirable lilac clothed breath
The cat peers out the window
Praying for magic
watching the birds in their infinite cage
