forensic indents
everyone runs off the carriage
Ka Bling!
opaque is the mothership
of intention
We wallow the fanciful duty
and like good solidarity soldiers
march on
Loving visions speaking from
muffled flat screen speakers
the thumbtack yard sale symetry
like rusted constellations
on bleached rounded totems
of wires sizzling in the rain
and singing their wailing dirges
in wild winds of springs
wings of umbrellas folding
in the gusts
the beautiful evocation of
ruin and suprise

beneath the concrete atmosphere
the creek sighs
in turbulent mumbling
crashed glitter glass
and crushed tins
of soda and beverage
the lights singed with
disbelief at its edges
like a polaroid in hot
sunlight

favor the wounds
curled in sleep
the dirty banisters
and brick doorstops
come the heat of
spring

I wish you would give me permission to do a reading, your poetry is enhanced aloud, it truly works in the verbal tradition.
