Hematology Of A Poem Spoiled

Hematology Of A Poem Spoiled

A Poem by Yoli



hard time finding the perfect jean, 

hard time landing a part-time job, 

hard time sleeping, hard time strict 

with the iron pills. 

ore hour the orange juice spills; 

they are repainting the orange balconies - 

hard time selvedge a poem 

about the orange balconies that are no longer.


(hard time of you no longer,

i breathed the earth on your shirt when

you tried to kiss our end of spring with your feet. 

hard time jumping in more open arms with the 

hard hint of earth in my ear.)


hard time to peel the knot off my rind, 

grinds press the next cigarette: 

i smoked it on your face when 

the tea you served was cold in the night infused.


hard time stumbling on the perfect boots, 

Goodyear welt; soon another good year wrecked. 

rather will i melt - you for the sake of the poem 

i cannot stitch 

about the orange balconies that are no longer.


Here they are, dangling :



On the nod of my neck in the trigon of your elbows 


Haze greying heavy blue. Back home, 


One hour walk till cut; my orange balconies, 


Awaiting.

It made me think of daily annoyances in life, with some seeming rather more worrying than others. It's clearly quite personal to aspects of life, unique to the writer; and I appreciate that it's deliberately muddled for effect. It is interesting, the ways in which metaphors have been used; although I freely admit that I couldn't be certain about their true meanings to the writer. What is this, "knot of my rind"; for example? As I have never smoked, I couldn't relate to the reference with cigarettes; either. Obviously, it expresses life's turbulence in different ways; for some people.....

Sometimes, often.. life muddles itself, spins on its own axis until - let's be honest, life blows its own trumpet and falls off the globe, feet first without those leather boots and makes a bare-faced, down to bewilderment of everything! Your words make mad music of it all.. makes me smile yet frown - emotions being what they are. Your post is something to read not just the once but as much and as often as the organge brightens one's mood, one segment at a time. Many thanks for sharing, Yoli.
