Book to Mind
There
you are, wrestling with a wardrobe, kicking a waste
basket,
flopping upon a waterbed. Your ears, small as
quarters,
as round as plums. We valet park, filled with
vanity,
veiled in silk. I recline in such essence, eager to
entertain.
You smile, head for a table, slow to sip a
martini.
How has this happened? so afield, pondering
sofabed
love. Our minds, religious carpet, smoking on a
patio.
Days are sweetly grim—something’s impending;
for
motion was harnessed, where love searched a hope
chest.
I address rain upon an easy chair, somewhat
nonchalant,
filtering through gestures—our saga. Love
confessed
that nights are long, yearning for more; plus,
love
is so young, kneeling near a lounge chair. We freed a
phantom,
forfeited chains, ever to meet at picnics. Life is
different
this way, to morph conviction, as square as newborns.
