The Goblin

Goblin

 From behind the ornate bluish panes of her eyes, something small and evil lurks. I wish I knew more about demonology and optometry. She keeps itching her nose and grinding her jaw. The tall thin businesslike building across the street yawns and stretches toward the sky. A man at the next table is smearing ketchup (or possibly marinara) on his wife’s face and giggling like a cartoon villain. I wonder if this wine is drugged or if I should be listening for Gabriel’s trumpet. I’d complain, but the manager’s mouth is the size of an oil tanker with nicotine stained teeth painted starboard. The issue is bound and gagged and buried in a box, and nobody’s coming to save us. Honey, take your shirt off. We’ll flag down a Coastguard vessel and explain why the sea is on fire. Quick! I think that tricky little goblin in your head has put a spell on us!

All these images play while trying to figure out what evil things reside in your lovers mind? ...I think Freud or Jung, perhaps both, would have a field day with you.

*snicker* I love the movies you make my mind play when I read your work. I would describe it as a mix between Yellow Submarine an Kill Bill. Trippy...I adore it!
"Honey, take your shirt off. We’ll flag down a Coastguard vessel and explain why the sea is on fire." ...fantastic. If you still have a bottle of that I'd like to have a glass please.

Fantastic images here.

I like the surreal imagery dancing around like marionettes. Sometimes your poems spray bullets in all sorts of directions, this one feels focused.

I think all is insane in this warped out world of delusions.
I really love this line: The tall thin businesslike building across the street yawns and stretches toward the sky. Such visuals you use to add the readers
mind eye.

=D Another twisted view into the dark sense of humour taken from reality herself. Great images
