white heat

an ode to Heliotropism

white Heat

I WAS ONCE THAT SILLY GIRL THAT 

BELIEVED THERE WAS A STAR IN THE GALAXY

NAMED AFTER HIM AS I WAS THE ONE TO NAME IT

I PRESENTED IT TO HIM AS A TOKEN OF MY ETERNAL 

AFFECTION

 THE SUN OPENED HIS MOUTH

AND BLEW HER HOT KISSES

SPUTTERED OUT HER LUNGS

IN SONG

FOR THE MAKER

OF

cloying swell of summer wind

in the teeming

 BABY BLUE OF

CORNFLOWER HILLS

fields

  ALIGHT IN 

WHITE HEAT

LIKE some humpback Cadillac desert

 A SUN, 

some gleam of painter whites

SUMMERS Of MAD DOG 2020 

GRAPE PURPLE AND SUNKISSED BRONZE.

should all MEMORIES be JUST AS BEAUTIFUL 

lets not ruin it

SUNFLOWERS' FACES LOOK EAST

 FOR  DAWN AND FOLLOW FOR SUNSET

CORNFLOWERS ARE LAZY

BUT THEY MATCH THE COLOR OF THE SKY

AND THAT IS ENOUGH.
