hdl-ldlA Poem by h d e rushin
I'm afraid, that we use to be younger than this. Careful to match our earth tones with our shoes. Like Matisse and his crazy dream of art and balance purity/ planted gardens of potatoes as I will when the ground softens to kundalini quaintness, yogic and life force coiled. That world where pain is painted as a spraying mist, without the fiery termagants that ugly sprits bring. My uncle, who at 82, says he can still kick his leg over his head, is a liar. No such creature this side of Jack Lelanne, demonstrative and wrinkled till the end from years of lifting heavy things then resting, lives that life.I know no Latin phrases. Not quite sure if it's Latin Rev. Boyd is speaking as he hoops the oscine pain away from sleepy congregations. But sounding as if it could be, I pretend a Spanish sky with the women in long, cotton dresses and hats, overlooking a sun-drenched Mediterranean. Then me, butt naked, running thru a soundscape of noisy birds; i'ts a nightmare, yet I am beautiful as anything ocular that you bend and pluck, then rise and admire. No sir, this aint homosexuality, but high blood pressure. That fleeting need for Zocor or the other statin's, that have ruined me from the neck down but increased the leven of HDL circulating in my blood plasma, like the will of good witches. Haven't slept since March of 09 after the bad girl left the bathroom stinking with her pretty eyes and matching rings. Cant remember anyone else worth a s**t, not like i've tried hard enough. Ginkgo Biloba, being the gentleness I fed to to the sparrows suffering thru winter; the old bread letters, the poems,as this one, I wish would go away to visit Poe in Baltimore, never to return again from their ghostly graves. © 2014 h d e rushin |
