Short Cremating Poems

the flowers in  my window box died
and I sent their remains in the box
to a landfill on Staten Island 

I was thinking about
Burying them at sea
Or cremating them 

but I  thought 
that they  might like
the country air better
until they come up again...

salient sun spill
rusty rays; rips
cremating callous comfort
lusty earth bought
felon face fiery
puking punctured pulses

soles' rhythmic skip
hoisted heat drips
bruised limbs' lip

disabled earth drown
dancing dust: clown
cupped'n vying vow

earth's plight pulls
passion into pool.

Haze of words.
Baked lips had a reticent larynx,
Spent out ideas were strewn around on beds.

I am sleepwalking. One might lose the self,
body, like air leaving the lungs to meet an angel
in woods. How far that would be ?

Behind the curtain, the head splits.
Kerosene was poured on to body after ravaging it
You poke into the flesh for a piece of miracle.

Trees are cremating the leaves overnight.
The gravel in the gale wind enters cornea.
A yellow cloud hangs on a rainbow....
