Arras seductive velvet plum
Alike bewitched, beshrew
Dispel this illusion
Reluctant to unfold its spell
Massy foliage threw
Living spirit seer

arras: tapestry
beshrew: a curse, plague upon.

Spontaneity sparked combusting
explosives breathed us into existence
earth-shattering plates
magma-filled mounds
shakey quakes
huge wakes
whirling, twirling and swirling breezes
slippery sliding mud
shifting, and shaping
bodies of water
peaky mounts
low and high hollows
vast salty seas
solid massy grounds
sandy entanglements
and buggy cruds!

When the New York City jazz deafened
With fiddles through the fogs
A random of birds buried themselves down within
The cloudless sky more than ever.
Nothing else appeared to recovery through the dust
Of the moonlight beyond the mass of maiden flowers
The deep wall that soon would fade into the horizon.
Have you ever seen the sun hardly showing himself
With strangely scarf the fall of this soft morning?
I've seen it as a centerfold howl unfastening
Its wings peeking out at the exhausted dew.
After such a long gaze, when the airplane
Had reached its heights below toward the other world
Fitting my tears the waves of people swallowed
The massy star through the dirty blue into fire.
Where, in this tearing moment, to call it a day,
I might find my old man playing chess at Times Square
Or sitting along the Central Park feeding
The filthy pigeons with peanuts and M&M candies
While the gazes go on and on after the 9/11 nightmare.
