I have pitchers of water in my eye sockets.
Razzled gleams of light.
Flickering specs of glimmer.
Movement behind there.
Voices behind there.
A tower of Golden Green
Like a cow grazing in some field
In Iowa.

I have chex mix eyes.
I have cracker jack eyes.

They changed when I was young
from Eggs to Trees,
From Caramel to Dust,
From Gold to Green.

Nothing can get in the way,
Nothing can stop the movement.

I mix hearts in a spray can and drizzle
This dew over tops of backs.
I ransack piles of
Blankets
And lodge them on my shelf.

I am calm,
I am calm.

I’m going to dispatch my touch from each
Of my nails.
Throw away the tip of my tongue
And hit
Frappe.

And all I need is something smooth.
Drip down my stomach
And fill its tomb.

Golden Green butterflies
And ice cold Bees
Lemonade for two
As cold as it comes, please.

Megg.

The reminder of "calm, calm",
a tiny mantra in the whirlwind
of green gold...
