My Poetry

words walking in the wind

for Nan, with nostalgia

 definition: the end

 

destiny sweeps blotchily thru her mind

is incoherent pastels

a mental swing thru the body’s fossils

a complete diamond curtsey thru the raindrops

to bleed the silver dirt from her eyes

 

we plunge

thru the endless imagination

of hidden, wild and miserable dreams

of a horizon kneaded with dew, cinders and reeds

of a mind that disobeys clearer emotions, and means

to peek at a misty pearl of a kingdom filled with sunshine

 

here

she weeps dull goals beneath a holy dogwood

and reptilic people produce spiritual peaches and cream

and paint designs of straw angels and cherry blossoms

over her door

 

in the end, she sleeps on the outside floor

by the intricate misty milkweed

to descend like a comet thru the cloudy corn

a cubic droplet of

thin faces on the wall

both rustic and simple and ending it all

 

of the world
