Undelivered thoughts
Stuck in a postal limbo
Like lost love letters
With the only proof they were,
Random shouts in solitude
In his closet Mort had a skeleton
Draped o'er an undelivered Peleton
A bag of bones himself
Mort was a Christmas elf
Dined on doughnut holes atop gelatin
There is an undelivered letter
Called democracy
Because freedom is limited
Law is passed
To keep man knowing how to behave
To prevent man from running wild and loose
And to prevent man from fleeing to the boundary of wilderness
I need someone to give me
LOVE, wrapped and all
with the correct address and not like the last one
undelivered.
Love that would warm my home now that
the fireplace is out, that promises to lower
my heat bill in cold wintery season
of my soul.
The semen of tomorrow’s rage
burning undelivered
waiting for perdition's womb
vengeance baptized—christened tears
The seed that carries darkness on
planted in the shadows
hiding what we most despise
hatred pregnant—birthing fear
(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)
I find myself with just myself
reflecting on undelivered letters
of winter past--
the most bitter front
glazing evenings where a fireplace
becomes a chilled shelter
of sharp, dazed musings :
I travel within time's slow compass
when a season ago...
you left unnoticed , without closure
And my soul burned in the
ragged kiln of night chapters...
not a lint of words crawled
between us,
leaving me searching for
blank pages of despicaple darkness.
The curtain rose on a cloudless night
Once More! the crowd clamored
A lone table across the room, a candle
Flickered
Shooting stars lit the sky like confetti
Bowing to the maestro in the pit
Impossible had no meaning
Fireflies sparked in anticipation
Bus service was cancelled
The daily mail, undelivered
At that moment
That precise moment
The telephone rang
Gently, I lifted the phone off the
Cradle
And heard the words I had waited
So long to hear
