sorting through memories
of concerts and piano recitals
rheumatoid fingers tickle
broken forgotten keys
inlaid with the laughter of
ebony and ivory
Conditioning
Is seemingly
What we are..
Patterns inlaid
Are there for
Comparisons..so that
An appearance might
Be labeled and
Understood..
Such a story may
Arise...
Have you seen galloping horses
Thundering across the grassy plains?
A rush of wind breaking free.
Have you heard scrabbling tutles
Scratching hopelessly at their tanks?
A ghost’s desperate moan.
Have you stroked a baby bunny,
Felt its delicate fur on its bones?
A fluffy cushion inlaid with glass.
Have you sucked some gummy bears,
Juicy fruitiness bursting in your mouth?
The soundless murder of innocent victims.
Form:
Seen through a country, a family or an individual timeline,
Diligence and thrift bear rise while extravagance decline.
Why do we cherish a pillow made of amber?
Why must a cart be inlaid with pearls purer?
It’s hard to find talents when the country is at stake,
And to ward off devils when its foundations quake
How many people read the emperor’s aspirations?
Here I do lament over his unfulfilled ambitions.
(Tran.)
There is no word for the barn-burning
Dream I didn't have in my mouth,
Tasting like blade, running like blood,
Through the inlaid veins of the kite.
There is no dictionary writing at the tip
Of the inky quill of time suspended,
Time adorned, time wombed and born.
The rose swallowed the bee ant the sting
Burned a whole, the size of a day apart
Into the heart of the vowels running amok
The seesaw earthiness of the ethereal self.
If i were King my Crown would reign
Of the purest gold from the Sun
Inlaid with precious gems and a cross of platinum
Blue sapphires and emeralds of green
Red rubies and diamonds galore
Topaz of orange and enormous pearls adore
With the softest velvet underneath for the head of the King
Alternating points of Lions and eagles
Silver fleur-de-lys arch so regal
My Crown would inspire songs to sing
If I were King
If I were King
