OEDIPAL
Fallen Crocus leaking udder
could not turn within
puddles murky wade bacteria still
filled with slugs, bugs ludicrously crawling
who tried to warn her with slimy
S c o r n
relaying daily that to turn faucet
was very thing to open
Sky, Heart, chlorophyll vibrating in swing
loosening apron Strings —
not endless baking of tarts to gobble sweet
sad —- Oedipal she preferred
starting day with farts, dough rising
….dandelion ticks
popping
meadows, mountains mutinous
remain stuck in Dante’s purgatory rut
frozen d r e a m-ponds
creepers like waiting ropes
twirl laundry slave, Slippery hope
S l o P e
lumpity bumps remained to beam—-
yard hosting corrugated elastic plastic
gathering guano gooing
noisily scowling
‘must I dish your food ?!!’
wrinkled petals howl
‘Yes, please…’ from potato
couch —- creamy curry it would
seem…
with raisins
Saturdays morn to noon to night
swoon or drift at tv they would ghostly
G l o a t
at teams losing soccer
floats
imbibing dramatised S o A p s
stressful messy knives and forks
Gawking Oaks —
starlings sighed singing high notes
going by, unheard choruses
unnoticed
unkempt grass

vine with ivy do not applaud
matters NOT ! neurotic inside-out
hatters biotic >>
more comfy to waddle in
g r a v y —- S a v v y
than Soul to take
a soar A S C E N D I N G
earthy navies
sea cows sleep ——-
forever, wading
SlowLy
Sun shines down on
aching bones Cold
— I circle my own
life force with purple
