POEMS THAT MAKE NO SENSE—2

their flesh bears no scars
only coldness forgotten
and bizarre
never pealing layers
of bleeding hearts
no strings attached
just beings from 
odd spaceplaces
dead and dying to
be done with it
all in all their souls
are very still like
blotting paper
absorbing the pink
and blue emotions
of litmus reviews..

Blank…

landscapes on which to
pursue frightening
 invasive
disclosures
thin lines of 
multiple
foreclosures
mirrors unsheet
forgotten relics 
of exposure
in shattered
gutted 
shutters
