Brian Densham Poet Free verse

Sham Poo

Pinion opinion
Lock it in the firmament of mind

In passion – master of all deep within its throes 
In repose – a lissome and enthralling mistress on a languid sojourn
At evens – a subjective and celestial splendor
At odds – an objective and vile besmirch upon reason

And yet … 

Nail it to the cross you bear and
Bare it to the world you cross then
Wear it like a nightingale that 
Sings its virtues to the lost until

… it changes

Then rinse … and repeat
