double the poem for double the dollar


Hey guys, since last night Jeff, Erin, and I had our monthly blog night, I was not able to post some poetry. Today, I'll post six then, just to make up the difference. Also, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Labeauf was a strange film. Anyway, poetry.

I spelled my name wrong

in the white

snow

of your front lawn

when you were a girl

and

the cinnamon

in

your hair was of sweetest

pink

cumulous

and the orange sky

crashed atop

us

in pine cone



untitled 4369

my best friends have

icicles

in their

feet

when the winter

settles

around

the coast like

a fur coat

she babbles

and brook.

we catch ourselves this

year

as if for the first time

trying

to believe

in

people

and

things



untitled 4368

bundles of magazine

blustery

sidewalk café

dance

she suggests that

to tumble

for the summer

is

to come over to the apartment

in May

and fix the busted

sink

with a quarter wrench

oh

my teeth

she giggles

but

does not think of mirrors or

car fenders



untitled 4367

not in gray

fields
of loose witches

hair

oh my

love

one billion rocks

tumble away

into

the sea

but you have never noticed



untitled 4349

all

girls who taunt

you

with light switches

in the classroom

beyond the yellow

chalk

and

the teacher

screams

you stole her lunch

and

fed it to the birds



untitled 4348

Christopher Savage

a disco

blaze

set

fire to

the dance

hall

you wicked

girl

all lipstick

but

no

mascara

you.

you care

about the sky

night

complaining

the lack of conservative

and

sound

and

vacant bus

trawling

on

into the never
