and so...
the spirit of a pirouette shall rouse
threads that grandmother
placed on the mantle
i’m happy with this weave by chance
so what!
if the dust shall rise
on inverted twilight?
let me begin
what pretty much paled
like a butterfly bush,
down on it’s knees
during winter
snarling at the cold,
stamping it’s feet at fussiness
my toothless smile
wears a special chair
all cozy with a
child’s plastic bib
willful & stolid,
songs of molten days
left behind...
all wrung out
with power to hear

i must feed the hallway
a new coat of paint
before true life
has something to say
be it by angels or
the gangster of some low
common denominator….
surely my smoke signals
will be seen
by the fist of
candle light flames!

oh, the coo of
any given moment suspends,
segmented clots of parallelism
inheriting unexpected bibles
sliding
down
languid rumors
of some digital camera’s chin
repeating the show & tell
of a girl on that postcard
swimming out to sea...
her sleeveless,
clinging dress speaks
as if,
at any given moment in time,
she’d open her wings,
migrating into
any day after monday

i love you so much,
music of the night!
oft deeply moving,
your talcum with gills,
as i grow larger,
the thought of subverting
some chauvinist pout,
gives me a reassuring pat on the ass,
of transformation
opening the day like some
top notched samurai,
peering into my kitchen,
kissing the mint tea
on my microwave,
just to hear my
faint guitar drizzle,
a mellow light of dream
which i slowly turn into,
just to feel it’s
maddening whispers
of long afternoons….

i’m powerlessly naked
gray hair and all
and i love the richness,
returning to my pockets
like the headlines on friday’s,
new york times!

nothing is forced or focused
yet, the lace on my breasts
kiss and drinks the swell,
of contented secrets
i shall not share!

become my resume
for the wind of ages
while
curling my unpainted toes
bite my ears softly
i’m a toga of warmth
underneath this shawl...
looking out from a hazy peak
i say...

hmmmm, lets have
another frozen margarita!
Excitement, surprise
shall we dance with a growing shadow?

loving measures the darkness
and gets even, while i change
my contacts
and burn that bra I wore
in 1999
so, go ahead
take my job!

Bravo!-Applause....

I enjoyed the whole poem, but S-4 was exceptional, in my opinion...that is where you hit high gear, and metaled the pedal...

Loved the ride, the poem moves with force, all the way to the finish line...
