Notes About The Poem

Her Mind is a Carnival of Picasso Harlequins



"Her Mind is a Carnival of Picasso Harlequins"

Walking through the poetic frames of featureless ghosts
her fingers play like harps their ectoplasmic cages
strange symbols that clang the frivolity of vacuumed cleaned emptiness
dissolving in the invisible time wasted in the chronicles of their newfound empires
  
the meaning of their spectral presence swings

like canaries singing home all their honeys sweetly
it’s all bluebirds entertaining the wisdom of lovelorn owls watching on
like they are azure feathered blind mice adorned with halos, 
while the carnal vultures smile winging it above them all in prayer circles predatory

“her tongue is an arena of silent conflicts”

her mind is a carnival of Picasso harlequins
balancing the trapeze, the affairs of a wild heart 
scorched and stinging with fragments of cubist love collages 
arriving like ashes within the flames of her phoenix stages; 
some newly burnt Aphrodite.

elements closer to reality than the abstractions of geometry
