A Poem by h d e rushin

 

 

Yesterday. when my 123 came out in the

daily lottery and I didn't have a penny on it.

When I laid on the couch, for what seemed like

hours, with a powdered neck like a white bass

waiting to be fried.

 

The door opened and closed and the frou-frou,

frilly ornamentation of your lace front wig

filled the room with algae.

 

I felt better just having you close

enought to touch me, but instead              you

telling me to quit playing.

two fine people outside my favorite dollar store were haggling for change..clarence and gale...gale loves pennies; they were sharing and exploring hands...I told her they might be worth more than dollars soon, the pennies, you know...I gave clarence a swig of my hooch..I needed clarity for my trash-picking excursions. I'm just distracting myself from the sheer f*****g potency of this piece with my inane babbling

sometimes I feel like I don't belong eavesdropping on these types of intimate conversations...it's like being blinded in a cathedral by the beauty of an alchemical marriage while feeling the gregorian monk's despair at developing laryngitis

all of a sudden I'm having a hungover, out-of-body-experience looking at my white-grey eyes as I'm laying on the floor of my basement..I'm groaning and my eyes are filled with catatonic terror, and I know the strength to lift myself exists somewhere in the room if I can only be patient and fervent enough to find it

my left shoulder still hurts..IDK if it's from falling, lifting, or doing the reiki

A sublime piece of poetry. A touch of gentle sadness emanating; a soft smile. I am sorry you didn't buy your number. If that were to happen to me I wouldn't leave that couch for days. Great write D, really Felt this piece
