this is a poem I wrote about 3 years ago that I have rediscovered. and edited a lil'.
of the out of doors,
of the witty remark!
of jealous anguish!
of the enticing rebate,
hangnails,
diatoms
and the eternal debate
of alpha and omega!
of internal division!
of a blissful t.v. haze,
eunoia,
arterials
and fits of malaise
oh blessed intelligence!
oh transistor disaster!
oh spoiled appetites,
calamity,
calming down
and turbulent nights
nearby,
god blogs on overnight binges -
saturated.
grace be those fractured frictions,
those jealous divisions,
those calamatous blisses
and blissful anguishes
(!)
of the out of doors:
where
too people are collected;
siding by idling cars
(scrap heaps of
sparkling city blocks)
- no longer speaking.
i, the dearly excised, exhumed exhausted,
tomb tumbling, distracted by
my own soliloquy and obliquely numbed
confusing apology with apologia
there is a newness
sent ten months late
.(it is still arriving)
i, embibing embalming fluid,
clutching trunkated tumults,
trudging on to return
to my former numbness.
a lively banter is
sauntering through doors
(falling over, reverting to
organic clusters, freckles.)
climbing up walls
i see myself:
slipping into my sarcophagus
a moving image, yet still, imanige
