Poem: A Crisp and Energetic Comedy

She laughed, pulling

deeply from within

A sling shot catapulting

from the pits of

her bosom and belly

I knew it would be good

by the blowback

She hurled: You are

an adopted bitch.

I laughed myself into a fit of tears.

 

Drowned and gasped for air

Realized my naked

before sinking again purposely

to block the echo,

resounding and forever

etched in my soul.

A geyser boiling long and

well after the

punchline crash landed

and the closing of the main drape.

Much Less So

Hello. Tis morning

you invade my thoughts once more

this time, much less so

Each time, I’m startled

by soft rain of tears inside

wounds reopened

You are brilliant light

Lightning, blinding and followed

By boom, in seconds

violent impact

upon your crash landing

but you never notice

Aloof, you never

Notice the ground where I once

Stood- black and splintered

the atmosphere shift

the ozone layers, my heart

depleting more, see

your eyes overcast

you play me as the extra

each interaction

moment of our lives

hostage to bloodlines formed long

ago, egg, sperm, time

five minutes of lust

a lifetime of consequence

stars never aligned

I welcome the ride

reject your disasterous

damaging entry

Implore you to go

Or stay, remain in my dreams

Waiting, for response

an answer that won’t

come easily, or quickly

now, shallow breathing

in slumber you love

me, think of me, but only

give chase til I wake

As the sun rises

sets, by sullen, angry sky

you are swallowed whole

Gone. Tis morning again

you invade my thoughts each time

each time, much less so
