a companion to 30 in 30

100-2...

Surely it only seems like that many tries, SR.

I always knew there was more to it than met
a boy’s eye. The night sky
was a place I took inside me
like Christmas.

Another excellent start, Mr. Rain Man.

 

[TheRainMan]

Another excellent start, Mr. Rain Man.

thank you, Miss Nawlins.

They say we all become a reason for another sermon.
I don’t know when my foot will fall and feel
the battered earth rise up to meet me.
I picture, on that day, trees tossed about like straw.
Rockslides. Nothing that can hold its shape.
Isn’t it just like us to add gravity to the moment
of our passage. More likely there’ll be stillness, silent
men on the night shift, a seated drunk gently meeting
a wall to sleep, a dog pissing on a fire hydrant
before it moves on. That is all anyone can do
when one of us goes down, reestablished in the earth.
When I walk now, I go softly. I don’t know how much
it takes for the world to come undone. I don’t
know how much more of me the ground can bear.

Patrick, excellent go of this introspective piece, very human, universal, and the red line up there, killer! Ah! I am on my way to church and I know I will be thinking, okay, which sermon is my life going to inspire.... which of the mistakes and weaknesses would they point straight to me....

and the last line is killer, killer, killer.

good to see you here

SR

I do not dream of San Francisco
or swimming bay to barge . . .

like the splintered bench I have become

A vase of daffodils
on the windowsill watches
the men rip apart the kitchen. . .

This poem rocks, Mr. D., especially 'cuz my own kitchen is a war zone at the moment.

No photos in the wall so far, though. Just plaster dust and lead-based paint.

 

[champagne1982]

There's a wild sweet one playing with you boys now. You'd best be watching any dangly bits .

[RhymeFairy]

it was
when fingernails dug into
her leather strung thigh
and lips moved without vocation
in reply to a poem whispered
into her erect neck hair,

Mee--owww--zzza !!

Very erotic read here.
