Hellenic rewrite

A Poem by Michael Oliver
"

This is a rewrite of the Clover Leaf Have changed the narrative flow

"
                 We eat in this Hellenic pseudo sphere
                 The salt day seasoned bacon baguette
                 Particular Greek blonde those dark streaks
                 And dark 'Eh' a glissando deepens
                Trim performance in black and white
                As disheveled forks arrange endless talk
                English adequacy not ours mysterious understanding
                Their laughter their business their world
                 Lost black eyes he still limps
                 To troubled hips white shirt tapers
                 Undone collar medallions silver weaves glints
                 Fine chest hair made a modesty
                 At the corner table actors snugged
                 Fabric rehearse grey curve thigh promise
                 V necked theme chest hair mist
                 Chips and ketchup hear a confession
                 Reclining, relieved, critical ginger hair thinning
                 Spooning her latte sampling giving audience
                 Her mute husband her mute grandson
                 A domain stated under blue influence
                Their formal youth accepted ties shirts
                A statement loud of large buttocks
                A table presented a menu introduced
                Immediate the satisfaction of wishes orders
                Hellenic the connection of the air
                This seeking service of these exiles
                An orchestra of a lost drama
                A world their laughter their business
               Entrapment stalks white in this premise
               Large light lost abounds wall imprisoned
               A single standing a single staring 
               Passing the longing of the street

'At the corner table actors snugged ~ Fabric rehearse grey curve thigh promise ~ V necked theme chest hair mist ~ Chips and ketchup hear a confession '

I can almost smell the scent of kleftiko! What wonderful stream of minutatures, a place filled with people, filled with shape and performance,. Tis a near theatrical setting with a ginger haired, troubled hipped or whatever cast adding to the atmosphere. And there you are, the audience, hearing, seeing, barely missing a thing. Wonderfully descriptive!

I like capturing the world in various mediums for a long time I was a painter, but more recently I realize the same imperative can be used to direct words as well as brushes. more..
