cabezza inherant

You will keep your head on a string
a fine thing
of paste and jelly beans,
still you honor your hedgerow
it's a portent of your taste
that the beans grow long
like the winds stretched taut
over a sojourn.

Fine, transmogrify the head
to a bookmark
in a sandwich of pages
trapped around your eyes
that see nothing
except if it's a word
upon word
one each after the next,
skip a line, sight transfixed
alerted and keen upon the point
taken.

Take a memory shot
and hold to it

while the gulls flock from your body,
sparks sizzle at your breast
giving rise to acrobatics
and tasteless innuendo.

A cloud head now
shroud for a passive titan
gingerly peeking
is spreading his fleas
in opaque
and teardrop apologies.
















another ridiculous unquotable.

somehow spring saps my creativity--nature seems to pull at me and i spend all my spare time either digging in the dirt or taking cat naps to gain the energy needed to run those extra miles or mow down the rampant lawn. ack--this is about all i can muster for now.

Awww, it'll come, don't force it. No teardrop apologies needed.

You're apologizing for this? It's FANTASTIC. My goodness.

This is great, Tom. Your time communing with nature seems to bring out the poet in you.
