Billet-Doux

A Poem by Jerusalem Cricket
"

It came to me in a dream.

"
You are
a brass framed
feather bed
in the middle of
a dilapidated forest
white
waxen
cadaverous
arms and metacarpals
outstretched
screeching praise to
Father Fumigated Sky
a tie dyed atmosphere
embodying the ambiance
of some apocalyptic rose garden
bled gold, wine,
& liquid ecstasy
and leaked through chemical clouds
or the coagulated tears of
God...

my strange,
creaky comfort.

may we

watch it all
crash down
in peace.

Yeah it's very dream like. technicolor and dizzying.

"tie dyed atmosphere" jumped out.

you have a really good sense of where to break s**t up. not a lot of poets do, and they should, because that's what poetry is. that's what makes it different and layered and beautiful. it's not prose.

great, again. i hope you write lots. it's a hallucinatory landscape you're building.
