And in this obtained
echo I ring
this is a missile
aimless and
allgood all
good
and this I fount
passing some way
here now
I've a background
to be against

I am restrained
from saying
what you really mean
by what I can't admit

this smooth part lies
accepting its ambiguity
under certain meaty fingers
searching I am searching

torque as a reason
for a stanza
a shortening of a cap
stop digging they say

I don't know how to write
this sound
this intertwining

chords pulled
from strings
over the play by play

as I key a scent
wafting on a wave
saying I'm a knave

I don't know
this sound
I always love

anyone plucks
with their voice
sounding

plucked like
the g string
happy

I'm inadequate
for your purposes
Maybe even
for the overwhelming
majority of purposes
I am a hazarded key
for a suspected lock
securing maybe

Get my attention
wave a frond
feathery edges
undulating
I'm yours
Dennis Willis Jan 2022
Want you to know
I've saved you from
several poor efforts
now languishing
in drafts
this one
just got away
Dennis Willis Jan 2022
We like the flavor
of a clear signal
a known knock
at our door
in the night
these nevers
howevers
levers
we look away
pulling hard
Can you tell me
what is happening
here
which is
where
i don't know
you are
or what's
on your sleeve
again
away
discoloration
