Afterwords a Tribute
streets
passageways
gutters
shutters
roofs
squares
polished pipes
reveal
a masquerade of smells
of rooms
that dress
&
cling to memory
silhouettes
provide a screen
for
hips&thighs
so neat&amusing
to regard
in afternoons
of silence
distress ripples
twists
to surprise
in repose:
together flowers
an explanation
of the serious
&
profound
from gloom to bliss
devout
flesh approach
with warmth..
begone
the dim
&indistinct...
enfold aloud
depart
fatigue
people indifferent
to scarifice
until tears
& night
reappears
thus commisioned
clearer meaning
once forgotten..
unspoken
a fragment
of joy
around wonder
separates
amazement
through gratitude
become
appointed
amongst the select
grief
dry as dust
leaves the complacent
living
presses the tongue
of the prim
into a spell
of ignorance..
an apt chance
tolls
& passes
by
the bitter
deride
the inborn listen
as
enlightenment
lies
unspoken
the pleasant
cornerstone
happens by
the good..
with an inheritance
