Surrender is mentioned
departures -skirted
conditions -reflected
but somewhere, in each of us
is the wish for a blind acceptance
slathered on us
like an elegant butter
~only it's electric~
like love is.
~~~
And so we begin, workin the scratch cards
like hubless prayer wheels
throwing them down
to become layered underfoot.
My God -a tender one
oh lordy, please -how about me?
Just a bit of rabid luck
some other reason to hoot!
That round, peculiar logic
in losing oneself -or should I say loosing?
hinging on a ringing compulsion
counterpoint, as a giddy pat of butter
on this rolling skillet /merry go round.
~~~
Tatooed, with a borrowed tire iron
low -like foil wrapped meat pies
nestled with leaky engines.
The edge of our demise floats at the horizon
like another mountain range.
You said "leave it at the curb"
but it skidded over a planter
cracking an immense window
and coming to rest on the very spot
you imagined
for your last good yell.
