Decomposition in two partsA Poem by Jacqueline Murray1 May 2012
I: Consumption
Consumed am i by dyes of Indigo, filmy skins that Coat the Lens Piece, "relief" that Stings like dry ice --and flies, Entering my pores-- risen fragments of my Bifurcated soul: the Left come alive and spewing peeled thumbprints, stinking like so many fresh paint fumes II: Feast a "c"orporal "p"aramount does become the cast from which Rebirth(?) hath sprung wrung dry of juices tart and Nectars --"Die!"; second cousin of the Green more voracious in appetite, stealth of music-making, a Clamor muted and transmuted by the fluted teeth of Letum --while with Nox and Somnus deceiving he who ought now to be grieving falsehoods much like "B"eauty! of the turning of the leaves © 2014 Jacqueline Murray |
