Penny's Lament of 2~29~20

So twinkles the mind

Twinx sideways

Returns to old ways

Under late leap sun

Quietly landing on

Very dry ground

Outlasting the trees

With greenery gone

Now brittle and heavy

X-rayed of snap

Made whole again,

Yellowed from purpled 

Lesions of bruised

Zephaniah iris

grapple

placated cream
swabbed magenta
against cerulean
as if hue could
come over horror

forgotten dream
of

washed ready
because fate's magnitude
superimposed
and froze
never to quell

unsteady
love

abated forest
never noticed
sliced pound
and hunching
hungry

fit tempest
form torrent
force bleed
flood seed

cause

salvia dancing pale

wood grey green

as the new

quickly turns old

dickcissel calling the wind

the wind responding with

a rush through

the alfalfa field

soft sway butternut

honeyed light licking

surfaces' curve

evening dew

post-thunderstorm droplets

amass on anthurium's reach

each leaf a sparkling pond

of topaz gems that nourish

the darting cobalt dragonflies

surrounding sound

of crickets' elation

and bullfrogs' wonder

of sun at set

coil

Gold yelled

Slip stream hearkening

Jodhpurs rubbing

Banana gnat searching

Herein cleansing

Eyes of granite sanity

Sheep sheared

Cotton wrung

Muled of

Listening

Rip tide

Hog tied

Mayonnaise polonaise

French fried

Steel wired

Pliered American

Eagle ease

Thoughts string

Condensed evaporate plum

Juiced on the bleed of happenstance

Acorns assault

Falling their gravitas submission

Arching need striving

To culminate attended torque

Moving

I summon the sun

echt

tiny crevices shelter breath

as the interior morrel

dark and woodsy

turned Mayan cocoa

made heady from want

tunnels temper flow

aggregate gold proffered

while kneeling down ~

what shines without light?

what can dispel the din?

dim sky scatters

the same splayed light

overplayed in coarse disarray

invariably unsound

altered badly

and chosen for kind necessity

a casualty of

quick wind nothing

tantamount

viable properties inform

less than quickly monitored

the heightened acknowledgement

precedes the seeker

verses of hunger

wounds of becoming

product of process

rupture of beaker

commemorate in display

the heralded ocean

culminates explosion

of color and sound

scent of ignition

grappling sensation

grouping of semblance

wafting around

New Moon Nuptial

New Moon Nuptial

the woven plunge

of counted breaths

that fill a female heart

counted countenance

over skies

moon bone dry

entered crevice

seeming bleed

forward words

reminds of distant

omens gleaned in

mines now spent

sowing moments

under soils

cultivate memory

heavy sent

AH

naught is able

inside reaching

given hands of ringed

high minds; rendered

streaking stars of

peeking through the

blackness

bent confined
