I have ridden in
some elegant moments
where I was resolved
within beauty

Always surprised
at it self ignorant
beauty breaks upon
our day a rooster

in beaming sunrise
silhouette on a fence rail
a blinding after image
or right now's want

I can't see you anymore
I'm thinking with  each
entreaty to burn here
here and right there

wants of fire and cooling
needs of held and soothing
swings of hurt and proving
I am certain...enough

Sky
I have no ability
outside that
which is called for

by your thrumming
incessantly
even if quietly

so I dance to this
tune that is you
abruptly blue
Dennis Willis Mar 2022
All
I stench this moment
with fulsome smell
of you at your earthiest

blown away now to nose
at a rose of spectacular
lid lowering sweet musk

I'll wait for your imaginary
neurons to catch up and
breath deeply of that would be

wafting through imaginarium
the exquisite elemental smell
of you nearby
Dennis Willis Mar 2022
Abstergasm again
you know how
that feels
No pretending
Dennis Willis Mar 2022
This looks
too poignant
I thought
and that
too pithy
we don't need help

Why you always

are you scared
are you sure

you can't take
a breath
here

so stop breathing
as if

To land this one
requires you
to be earth

Not an imagination
masquerading
saltily

And I
must be lettered
as an inkling

Foundered in type
meant to be
something clever

an escarpment
of all the same
to you and me

now take your leave
the beckoning
Dennis Willis Mar 2022
Is there a crack
in your wind
shield
I often ask
of fellow
motorists
tooling down
my time
to the beach
where its fixed
by sand
sun hot
have to dance
hot

and the melt
pulling
like beauty
has you

go ahead
rub your face

trace yourself
here quiet
