THIS

A poem about an amazing day

It’s chartreuse as all Hell today

The bubble wrap is breathing

A December day outside my head

Inside my mind is seething

 

A presence looms inside the empty house

More a shadow than a bear

Inexplicable, its absence

Undeniable. It’s there.

 

Electro-dance encircling heads

Stars burst and bass drums pound

The bedroom’s now a planet

My head, the sun it orbits ‘round

 

Under covers, safe and sound

Peering through my ear

Nothing but a head in darkness

Watching Mozart’s deer

 

Safe inside the cupboard now

Not a bashful little spoon

The need for warmth has gone from me

In search of freedom soon

 

I think I’ll walk the dogs today

They seem like such nice people

It’s easy to see God this way

Better view than from the steeple

Not ignorance, but THIS, is bliss

No longer feeling shocked

Exploring everything I can

Closed doors have been unlocked

 

Shoestring eyes and gnashing teeth

A friend can look so strange

His mouth will chomp like pacman

His face- melt and rearrange

 

I drink the brilliant, burning sun

I spill some on the floor

Sitting, blue inside a bathroom stall

And laughing at the door

 

Stretched, oblong, trapezoidal face

Coral, flaky, paper lips

A woman who’s a pecan pie

With twelve chins and whale hips

 

The yokudeki chicken

Kicked a ball across my phone

A train of crawlers crossed my hand

And I was not alone

 

I think a thought and then I stop

A mind inside my mind

Advises me against myself

I leave old thoughts behind

The DJ hugs a pillow

His anchor to the Earth

To watch a frozen image move

Of interstellar birth

 

Tree fingers force a chuckle

Christmas captivates the eye

Hugs and kisses make you tingle

A woman’s love will make you cry

 

The ceiling waves goodbye

As you lay in bed at night

Too many thoughts to fall asleep just yet

But wake up feeling right

This was really fun to read :) I was drawn in from about this line onward: "Inexplicable, its absence
Undeniable. It’s there."
I really like your writing style. Thank you for sharing

I got sucked into this and lived this day with you. It seems as if you poetically described the course of your day. Playful and lighthearted, yet artful and contemplative. Great write!
