An afternoon almost off putting
Doris Day spoke of Love on the breeze
curling my mind
a cardboard box lay on my silver stoop
in it was paper that spit feelings
fire from a dead man
bearing tears
turbulent heartbreak on beers
broken days of a billowing sun
hearing sad women singing in french
my couch held me as a friend
as i felt of decomposing leaves
curling my mind
a cardboard box lay on my silver stoop
in it was paper that spit feelings
fire from a dead man
bearing tears
turbulent heartbreak on beers
broken days of a billowing sun
hearing sad women singing in french
my couch held me as a friend
as i felt of decomposing leaves

loved the entire delivery..short & pithy, in lang so deeply soaked in heaviness -the broken torn tears sadness..& the final ultimate feeling it leaves as you 'as i felt of decomposing leaves'...that all which takes a whirwind curling in/away from 'love on the breeze" L1..
poetic & atmospheric . full on the feel. nicely done!

Love all of this. It seems a bit different from your others.
Especially:
the paper spit feelings
a billowing sun
i felt of decomposing leaves
The imagery and feelings you added to the ordinary objects make your poem more readable, and precious.
much love

"i felt of decomposing leaves"...I love this line very much. When it's very quiet, I could feel the leaves talking, giggling, but you feel them decomposing. Wow, amazing! I should put it into my RL list.

Doris Day and a cardboard box. Perhaps that's the true balance of opposites. Appreciate the imagery, both rough and soft.
