FOLLOW THE LUNATIC ROAD ( COLLAB WITH FRIEDA)

Blackbird talons dug into heart
wrapped around the time of day
mocking lunatics chanted in braille
implored a wracking head's twist
live wires collided in chilled thunder
Implicit agitation leaning on controlled aggression
The Sun behind a fog of snow
longs for the alarm of Spring's emerald chimes
A knock on the door of inner peace is answered
by the barrel of a frozen gun
amber brick roads led to basked cavorting
rollicking in roughhouse ports of call
cruised steamy underpasses gate
emerged in a heyday of peaked poppies 
Survival is the new orgasm
Every deep breath a monolith
floundering between a sway and a foundation

A diva's shimmy sparks an earthquake
in decorum's sodium savannah

arms wide open in a clasped grasp

surrendered to sunlight's cornflake tang

cobalted moons reluctantly received

sympathy's tea in soothsayer's ruddy wine

Philosophers dance with razors in their shoes

Logos eat the language with a virus' appetite

Daylight will be burned up

and then there will be lightning

the lone survivor of age like dinosaur bones

pine for grandiose calamity's remorse 

moments of clarity in curtained visitations

afflictions cross negated in a pig's fly retort

sanity rearranged in redemption's snappy riposte

counter quips arresting grace's resurrection

Thank you Frieda :)

The lunatic road is lined with irony and unexpected surprises. It has a most frenetic feel to it and I think that I would rather drive down this road than stroll down it:

The Sun behind a fog of snow
longs for the alarm of Spring's emerald chimes
A knock on the door of inner peace is answered

cruised steamy underpasses gate

It certainly is a wild ride. You two take energy to another level!

You captured my attention with the title, and held it throughout this amazing piece. Anne has definitely said it best, it does have a frenetic feel to it. Well done my friends, another great collab from 2 of my favorites.

i agree with Anne about the frenetic feel...you both are lunatics...but in a good way.

i have driven down this road before...and this winter is driving me this crazy..

wonderful alliteration in this...bounces along like poets bouncing off rubber walls in strait jackets.

cavorting and rollicking..and frolicking..so we can all enjoy.

Your imagery of poets bouncing off rubber walls in straight jackets made me smile jacob, I'm jazz'd you were whirl'd up in our snow drifts, thanks so much.

[kublakhan27]

Haha Maybe we should have advised straitjackets for everyone that reads this...thanks so much Jacob.

[jacob erin-cilberto]
