Mark Riedel Poet Rhyme

Rescue Me

Please
     sweep me 
     under the carpet
force me
  to swallow
     this sugar pill

Embalm my head
     with deceipt

Rinse
     and repeat,

follow me down to the banks
     or River Styx

and curse the skipping stones 
     as they are picked...

...this image never leaves:  (She)
        touching face,
        scratching smooth legs
                         and knees,
and

     I'm underwater gasping,
                                  choking
                                       lungs smoking
                                        and blowing
              tug boat out for lost tow,
not comprehending
  the ebb and flow
of
the ways of the world...

  Reality Adieu !!
          bless you

            Katchoo !!,

                  Koo - Koo
