XVII.

It was said in days before.

There they stood.

In pleasant wood.

In unity a sole expression.

Smile.

Grocery Poem Xvii

cracking like a bat
the summer storm
moves in quick
like ants to aisle nine
where chocolate chips 
litter the floor
& the culprit runs away,
scared of the thunder

Makita Xvii: Plastic Lasers

Rare was the vibe
To which we waltzed
And like plastic pillows
We fondled each others features
Petting each others’ egos
In a wistful manner
No texture of skin
Had ever tasted better

BACK TO NATURE – JOURNAL XVII

The frogs, the turtles have returned
The river has been cleansed
And I can see some fishermen
Wading out round the bend

Thank heaven those in high places
Have honored their pledge
To clean up our once fair Bawasee
Have brought in a dredge

In these last few I would dredge up my past,
Clean up the errors of years
Be of better vision
Back to nature at last


Xvii: More Spare-Parts & Auctions

Those yelling voices from various tenements
Sounded like the sad treble of girls
In cellars where leviathans
In a spree flourished forced libidos:
The lasses trembling in rude arms!

Sir –
Still in their yellow bloom
Pig-watchers of the wider forest
Clad in the swords of midnight warriors
Performed the vicar’s rituals.

A blue hour lamented the gloom!
In the morning more skulls lie
A trash of real weavers!
(Prof, a sad lad heard the tales told!)

Weak Spots Xvii

Heat building in the cheeks,
As disclosures are expressed,
Written on pieces of paper—
Realizing—they felt it too—

Quaking within at the thought of
Love becoming more than a word
Escaping the lips—
But ceaseless spurts of action

—Joys and pains both,
At the notion of open affection
Anxious minds grasping at once
For the comforts of connection

As the lungs upsurge in and out, 
The rise of it all is more than action—
Love becomes habit—
Love becomes function
