"Hail Metropolis!" (Human)

"Hail Metropolis!" (Human)

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

ROADS
Where choice begins.
Some are quick to find its end.
Wise will journey on.

CARPOOLING
The heavy traffic
An ocean's slow ebbing tide
Our patience drowns in.

METEOR SHOWER
Friday night space-lights
As we caress the hours
Streaks across the sky.

STAINED GLASS
Broken pieces shape
The Cathedral of one's soul.
Stained light still shines true.

TAI CHI
Dawn's ceremony
Wet grass tickling bare feet.
Wave away the night.

FRACKING
Jonesy punctures black.
Points in caves, great Mother weeps
Wells of poison rain.

NIJINSKY
So divine his grace
Words not made to embody
Ballet when God speaks.

MY WINTER GIFT
Skin so Downey white,
Like a cold glass of fresh milk.
Unwrapping Christmas.

FRENCH KISS
Such buttery lips
Sweet cream silks, wrapping our tongues.
My patisserie.

VATTO
Gang signs, ink, and blood.
Beaner in a low Beamer.
Cool kissing his gun.

ROSARIES
Madre genuflects
In brown countries of her hands
Old beads, sweat, and faith.

DRIVE THRU WEDDING
Romance thru sunroofs
Hallelujah honeymoons
Marriage number two.

HOT TIN ROOFS
A light Summer breeze
Cool cacophonous bodies
Hot stars southern nights.

NOSTRADAMUS
Doomsday Soothsayer.
His visions doth entertain
Medieval profits.

CHINA
Man's golden lotus.
A wealth of divine knowledge.
Heavenly on Earth.

FIREWORKS
Our toast to Heaven.
Chrysanthemums igniting
The night's colbalt sky.

ORIGAMI
The creases of us
Tales of dragons and white ships.
Neatly folded sheets.

OSMOSIS
Blossoms in spring time.
Bursts of Japanese kisses.
How to love haiku.
