Of Date Trees & Sea SaltA Poem by ~*~CreationistDA friend of mind challenged me to put my spin on something that could be considered literary nonsense. This is the result I suppose.
Billowing beneath in the tiny crevices of brick
worms cultivate the silk she carries around her waist from city to city, rancid meat strapped to the ankles amongst the lily blossoms and frogsbreath forgotten behind the oak trees, she drains the blood from the sacks, out bleeds yellow over tar of a well broadcasted past the doves circle her head trying to spin a future out of the dead soil droplets make the marsh fertile subdued as that carbon spreads through the volumes of bile that rot each passing tree skies scream the hearth of barren bright light as the silicone paints out copper stained designs out into the garden so clearly sits he, majesty, the crow and no one knows what knows this old crow flapping highly and grand thus wings beat out the sun king of the stage objectifying the vices we desire inot the heat of the day,sins thrown into the unboggy mire lay waves of the dead gestating in the resurgence reemerging from the remnants of her acidic tar passes the crow upon the perch of a date tree facing north stone is the lock of the cumbersome eyes; pools of the wretched sane sadness he thinks she particular dost thou deranged thine townfolk canter the merry doth position upon bosom heavy drops her hand in the sea corrosive are the salts near rudimentary infests her life with the pain of a breath against her neck and she forces the hand to stay pungent becomes the sickly sweet flesh shedding into the sea the second hand doth fall the crow squawks yet makes no sound he knows she can sense as he contorts the ground to cradle her fraility it heaves and surrounds, protects but cannot hold her still but she has lifted out of its wealth pristine, clean, brittle she is deranged for his entertainment abolishing this temple has been their connective tissue leaning over the poison she leaps he buckles, swoops she feels the curse of an old blood release the calm is coming the quiet, the peace she lands without feet cool caressing the air abound no salt, no sea just climitized without the trees she opens her eyes feels the like prick of a new sea staring back into the wicked colors of a summer honey bee's sting....... © 2010 ~*~CreationistD |
