Tempations of the void
8/14/16
I like the way you refuse---
temptations of the void
like rain fall on the pavement outside
heard though the window
eyes closed, trying for sleep once the sun has again risen
like undertows that push and pull
and give way to that momentum
i like the way you make things seem
and how you make words sound
when you speak them
the question of civility is at hand
while the willingly restrained
and pleasantly adjusted
get themselves off
from accusatory kicks
I like the way you refuse---
temptations of the void
unbiased class from humble means
the underlying eloquence, and your slang-lessons.
.
posh sensibility
for the ghost of mother mary
my mysterious ornament
adorns the days i lay awake
to relish in the grandiose..
the apprehensive Illusion!
and the strived for qualites
of the graceless and aloof
bored to death by their own good fortune
the pings and dops and gentle thuds
remind me of the space i'm in
a rainy morning reflection
of the shape i'm within
those intentions which have shaped
states conducive to wheel-watching
and navel gazing..
but i love the way you make things seem,
when you do
with all the glory of mysterious bliss
and awe for confusion
freely associated, unspoken
the length of waves
and understated-emphatic IN SUBTLETY
I like the way you refuse---
temptations of the void
