throwing fowl balls haphazardly ...

Post by mtmynd » December 19th, 2019, 5:27 pm

throwing fowl balls haphazardly while six juncos sighed lined in purple
_-----_-----_-----_-----_-----_-----_-----_-----_-----_-----_-----_


later said it was time to go
before hell became unchained
and tripped over principles

i spoke without hearing
and landed a notice of rebuke
without giving doubt a try

was becoming going down
along with those two lips
nesting on the penguins..?

delirium handed out free
to all takers on a spree
theft of the highest degree

what the. it should... really
"buttress yr self lefty!" shh...
whispers behind explosions

and some daze some days
(they're) not like tomorrows
but guides to the beginning

the incessant frolicking ends
as the brightly lit sun stuttered
and moaned over the moon light

“no brilliance here!” matey...
the cobbed voice snickered
while the pastel winds blew

she knew life was threatened
when her dreams showed signs
of rust along the edges of her eyes

castaways they swayed before one
the wreaking knowledge of destiny
robbed from the torn pages of irony

and the zone… that wicked zone
the one dressed in midnight apparel
hastily made shade dispel by thirds

why must the cornubia be retaught
again and again and yet again
while the planets continue their dance

the late night orchestra playing
the cycle of life found here, right here
where proof is in the tombstones

they can be found scattered throughout
memories engraved for the graves
in languages devised by the restless minds

those weary and restless minds of ours
haunted and repelled by the silence
that holds the truth of our obscurities

may tomorrow lay rest amongst the reeds
along the slow moving, life-giving waters
“hooray! hooray!” they whispered aloud…

heading to their lowest spot only to be
lifted high into the masters of flotation
to be scattered like seed across the land.

o the mind, the aspens shudder.
tasted the gift, the forbidden fruit,
the knowledge foliage, the clock,
the gutterballs to salvation alleys,
rustbuckets to breathless cathedrals
of smoke and clouds, a POOF! of sky.
the rifle cracks and stars collapse,
epochs labor on, and that silence.

... a fine addition to the piece.

Me gusta, amigo. ;)
