Alan Inman Poem
see this spot, a pit?
it is the place of my horn
now on the market.

she was glittery
smiles, dimples, all wrong things
best to let her go.

Alan Inman Poem
No reasonable heir
to take the throne
the king went away sad
and by himself (refusing
rhyme)
The store front where
I stood so many years
watching my father work
Now razed to the ground
sold for too cheap
a price.

Alan Inman Poem
Here I sit
in the painful
chair I avoided
so long
waiting for the punishment
denouncement
and judgment
to come to my gums.

sweet voice sing sudden
in flashing hopeful verses
soft inspiration.

there is a story
passed down mouth to eager mouth
ready to retell.

Stand still
so I can paint you
capture your locks
your lovely energy
through the focused
point of a thin brush
scraping on void
canvas space.

Alan Inman Poem
I am who I am
a thinking mine
who questions
who ponders and probes
and who knows what else
Do not measure
me by the same book
you drop on others'
well-meaning heads.

Alan Inman Poem
These are the busy
hours of hubbub operation
but they do not interest me
I am interested
in the after hours quiet
What it is to be a crow's
nest, overlooking a town,
in perfect silence.

Alan Inman Poem
I wondered
I wanted
I could not find
I fell victim to a blindness
rare, falling out of the sky
like a sparrow
flapping on the lawn.
