Solar Power

June 28, 2018June 28, 2018

A shadow-bird flutters in the diaphragm’s cup

Shallow breaths and seed bites shrinking wingspan

Darkens the path of possibilities

With predatory punishments, threats

I dare you don’t you dare

Counter-act producing proof until the half-assed will rebukes itself into compassionate action

Here’s the kicker

Ignite the junker or rust in the garden

Behead the beast with blades of light

Sharp truth and tender water

Plumbing plexus mud

Up to our elbows in yesterday’s sludge

Clear the corded mirror

Stare into the sun

Shine

Poetry for lunch. Also those yellow flowers grow everywhere around our neighborhood and have always reminded me of the twisty macaroni and cheese. Yes, I’m hungry. What are you having?

I haven’t decided yet. I had a peach a little while ago…what are you having with your poetry?

Behead the beast with blades of light…love it. Nothing better than poetry for lunch, well except for maybe some tiramisu and coffee 😉

Love it – the pictures, the poem, and the macaroni. I had chicken and broccoli for lunch! 🙂
