Three Poems
dust bowl
fell in love with your science
poetry of noise
wise owl muse
wooed with a promise
edged with pain
despite visits to the dark
felt touch
followed through the wall
the demons shouted louder
laid to the alter
splattered on your wall
lost in past gonesee me as i stare
into nothingemptiness becomes you
don’t walk away backwards
that will no longer do
see me as i stare into the
nothingness
of
yougrey sky
blue moondust bowl
She no obey
woman go slow
shimmy and swayshe know joy come of pain
woman big laugh
she know sorrow
woman got sass
mystery
and
somethin borrowed
got a whole lotta old
so
strut queen
voice like symphony
she
talk
