Poems
Mar 2019
I PRAY FOR BALANCE
demons and angels.
horns and halos.
wings and wings.
even the pharaoh,
born with Plato,
sings and sings:
“I long for heaven
as well as hell.”
these aren’t just sevens,
they’re eights as well.
the time will tell.
—————————————
o’, thank the stars for darkness,
thank the lord for ghouls and goblins,
thanking god for satan’s roar?
playing the cards of hearts
to flash in clubs with diamonds,
save the spades and maybe score?
what more is said
for parity?
win the best and lose some more
for charity?
nevertheless and neverthemore
the wrongs go right
for parody?
enter a death
to save a life,
and lose the mind
to get to therapy?
nothing is left for days
and nights bereft,
we fuss and fight
for clarity.
nothing is left for days
and nights bereft,
we fuss and fight
for clarity.
