The ear hears
the empty parts
of clacking wheels
as a horse
takes off from the runway
like a runaway Unicorn, though,
what about symbolism?
It’s not existing here. What gives?
The moon is glass
just maybe once you stop
pulling that eye-string
dangling from your carved-out
eyesockets will turn everything
the shade of melted vinyl.

Right up my alley. Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I feel like a total jerk not noticing this until now. I'm so damn busy that I'm honestly contemplating pulling a "Walden" on everyone and vanishing into the woods where I would once again have that precious thing...TIME!! Ha.
ReplyDeleteYet again a poetic slap to your intended 'subject(s)'...😜 'The moon is glass..' Brilliant!
