in between words and phrases ... #NaPoWriMo2018 Day 3




(on being a poem written when 
threaded to a coffee fed morning)

oh how I Love phrases 
I get mesmerized by them 
a tubule fool languid almost 
named my daughter 
after the Norse mischief god 
somehow she knew
little spiral-ettes, whorlings 
places I go 2 seek laughter 
like hair being let down 
every day we lather ourselves 
words off shelves 
phases of what 
we buy and sell 
shell ore hell 
and man hole covers 
we're sold as having in our souls 
steamy sewer-ies 
belief relief in ignorance 
as innocence dances here 
a hollow graphic 
a leer clear view technology 
being rapturous when 
not having to need to know 
what a spiritual elevation is or was 
to see logan or adam 
for that matter 
mad hatter, is 
still running ...

(the quietude of a library is a sanctuary and
can make a poet, quite misty eyed and horny)

with arrow dead rollick 
after the kick tire test 
of living tissue strength 
I read and write 
in jalopy style loop friendly interludes 
yes this is still my blessed morning ritual 
as coffee wets what gets me through 
to  the other side of sleep 
of something I need to nap through 
what makes me pause and wonder 
like your eyes do my muse 
when they catch me 
a right gone 
bright starlight 
to tombstone 
letters I've sent 
or meant to 
all stop here ...

(waiting for 
inspiration)
