Long Reconfigured Poems

If I died today March 2nd, 2020...?

No matter unfulfilled dreams never came true,
nevertheless yours truly doth gladly bid adieu,
where repurposed afterlife (mine) atomic brew
reconfigured, reconstituted, and reconsolidated
out maws of madness, no matter any blues clue

I counted Flip (Wilsonian) view,

A decade of growth and decadent boom 
People didn't mention the debt elephant in the room
It was the charge of the bull
Many pockets were full
The search for a higher return was the motivational pull. 

But whilst stocks...

Blue flowers plucked
Nyona bak chang** moments;
Satisfying rice cakes


By this old fence
Echoes of giggles;
Laughter mocks schoolyard


Road diversion
Roundabout detour;
Long cul de sac


Wedding festivities
Details and stuff;
Final agenda looms


Joy wears a face
Celebration evokes;
Certain gratification


Flame of the Forest tree
Nice shady...

Hatched from an egg, larva begins gathering around massive trees;
consuming enough leaves sufficient for morphing within chrysalis. 
Once this process is a success, reconfigured caterpillars nibble and wiggle their way out.

You've been in the forefront 
Of my mind

DISTINCTIVE QUIETUDE
the
pastoral
established &spread
in a
space of solace
a respite &
  counterpoint
to
unrest
  turmoil
in
   reconfigured space
highlighted
outside of time
&
   flourish
as a
  tender retrospective

where sympathy
 alludes to pose
a
sense of tranquillity

    in a profiled
 panorama
  admired
in
a strict narrative
of
  elements  eliminated
within
the goal of harmony
with
 upright
  shapes

    explicit

 emotions realized
  &
serenity set
   in relief

If languages were instruments,
English, the language of my own America,
Would be something like a piano.
Each word is clear and sharp-
When we sing, the note does not waver.
But I suppose it's more fair to say that

SPICK&SPAN
an outdate view
 of the
 cold sterile
&
  reclusive
an  existence
endlessly reconfigured
  separated
by

an alternative
vision

a conflict
de rigour,
 rhythmical

a breakthrough

Wanting to further glorify heaven
by reaching up to its lofty, great height,
the Romanesque arch was changed with leaven
in mind to further complete a great sight.

Taking away the strength of the curved arch
she could quickly cave...
