oozing chin drops dripping
with the swell of throaty laughter
echoing in the woods
a pause, and
a single teardrop drips.
You never told me that
you could never be my one and only
Cat
a grinning, furry head sideways turns
a kiss good-bye
on a velvet ear
So sweet,
this love that was never meant
to last
i turn away
mind spinning webs
dripping with the bitter drops of
dew
which will form on her brow
envisioning the buzzing
just as all around,
the chirping whirring and plonking
feeds on the underworld
yet
wafts symbiotic melodies
tickling the leaves
telling tall tales as
distantly,
The whales splash on
and sonorize their call
Echoing in the ear
of the dolphin
A future descendent of
our kin
effortlessly arching
and singing of days
when seagulls were
Falcons and cages
were spider webs
You could dissolve them with your tongue
like a single strand of cotton candy
amidst a wasp's nest of sugar
housing multitudes in moral decay
eating ice cream on withered dreams
I will not cry when the pins that poke the sky
dissolve and fall
It could have been a celebration
-it was a celebration
if not for all the consternation
-everyone complained, but it was good sport
And the lamentable lamentations that echo
-how we love to hate one another
in the ears of the dolphins
-our descendants
Sounds spinning round spaces of devastation
-poetry sparring with reality
lined with litter boxes
Waiting to be emptied of
the far-out notion that interpersonal communication
Can happen
knowing full well the stage holds sway
Standing there
in the light
holding a pitchfork
Hoping to get the tune just right
so that the average annual rainfall
Will appease the rain dancing
spiders
Whose webs are catching
the flies
that ate the cat
