He bit off more than he could chew:
Blood curdling
screams
thinking
"they'll find me yet"

He relished it, rare
as they come, tender
he wished he had an eatery
for it,
exotic meat

Strips
of long pig
dressed to kill
languish
along golden highways
scraping
their pittance
counting out
hours
poor lonely Trixie

they carried the missionary
plonked him into the pot
threw in turnips and yams
and boiled him to perfection

Roasted
for sake of Mandalay
arms flailed
in rites of Summer.
A dance began
pounding out
beats
hearts and drum

Mixing Dixie
with a taste of rust
Crazy horse calls
betwixt Cactus
and Rush
Russel rings
notes from Travellin' carnival

No one saw that coming
turning cartwheels
yoodling good cheer
They canoodled with Brownies
had different sets of mind

All sweetness
and plenty of punch
they poured
glass after glass
annoying the neighbors
setting fire
to piece of mind

they drank sweet wine
shouts of jubilations
toasting the realm of plenty
but they forgot the floods
they all drowned

my word bank is on empty
had a spill into poetry
or something like it

in the negatives
as always

the ink bled into the page
obscuring the words she wrote
she couldn't read it again
it disappeared into yesterday

Tomorrow brings new hope
as the sun still rises…
it’s time to turn a new page
and write another poem.

with twenty bucks
i could buy a thick rope
fuck words after that
they've all failed me miserably
this far

the sunrise is always brilliant
take time to savour that
and the day that follows
no need wordy words

Sometimes
words aren't enough
to connect
positive energies.
Escapism
that elusive wench
hunt her down
steadfast
where golden fields
gather
