Midday,
The
Sky
Became
A
Tarnished
Silver
Bowl
Upturned,
In
Which
Leaden
Clouds
Churned
And
Broke
With
Lightning
Strokes
To
Once
Again
Soak
The
Desert
Land
Below
With
Rain.
Drenched
Midday, The Sky Became A Tarnished Silver Bowl Upturned, In Which Leaden Clouds Churned And Broke With Lightning Strokes To Once Again Soak The Desert Land Below With Rain.

He Was A Goer, That Gauguin, Down In Tahiti, Getting A Tan. Painting In A Fever, A True Believer In Nature Naked And Itself, Civilization On A Proper Shelf. Painted In A Trance Maidens Dancing In An Idyll, Far From France.

Given To Me In My Flagrant Youth *Watch your breathing at all times *The South won the war, or deserved to *It’s okay to put salt on watermelon *Neighbors are generally common and trashy *You’re too short to be a ballerina *Nothing decent happens after ten PM *Smoking will stunt your growth, but you look okay to me *Don’t pop the clutch *Brains are not how you make it *Playing the piano is easy Sailing
The Curve Of Beach Was Undisturbed, And Curbed The Cerulean Twinkling Sea, Wrinkling Away. Perfection, In The Reflection Of A Tilted Sun, And All Of Life Had Begun To Sing Just For Me, And I was Free, Nature And I one. I had A Long Way To Go, To Learn What Little I know, But I would Keep This Day Folded Away, A Love Letter From The Past, A Memory To Last. Unfriended
No Matter How Many Things Collapse And Fall, Through It All, I have Words As My Solitary Company. That It Should Come To This Is Something Of A Piss, But Hey, Don’t Get In My Way, I’ve Got A Lot To Say. Storm
The Monsoon Has Come At Last, And In The Evening A Deluge Swept Past, Lashing The House And Scattering The Trees, Which Shook Down Dancing Leaves To The Rain Pocked Earth. Today, Wet Dust Has Formed A Crust Over My Walk, Which I must Wash Away, Before It Becomes Another Hot, Dry, Desert Day. |
