I knew it was you
From the way you fidget,
Fantasize back behind the eyes
The History: I have become an amateur P.I. in the last 5 years.
Zywa Jul 2020
A door half-way up
the stairs is kicked in
two men come across me
they greet and pass by

There is police
sand on the carpet
next to a flower-*** at its side
the staff strolls with a cup of coffee

Someone is taking pictures
another is counting boxes
and everywhere there are sheets
Please Do Not Touch
Collection "Mosaic virus"
Crash unbridled gates. Grind organs
through the rosy calm of tolerance.
See misfits shuck the beasts
in bed with bliss. Type up and tack
to this new daily mess the bounds
of what went by 'neath private barroom
skies; no looming spy will fix you
flint to burn the friendly waters,
flicker honor out to disarrange
and scold some rhyme too bold
for comfort-answers, dumb-fit, fumble-
grounded in some sliver too uncouth.
Tape pageless trees for truth;
blog-sift the spheres, watch darkness' evil
ears upend and train the tuner on
the lips extolling groundwork kisses
(sparkful dominance upstaged
by passion turned to stone:
reserves gone sour, hour unknown.)
Mist-choked misnomers
acting onerous and blinking out of phase:
de-stage the structure. Anchor down who stays,
who pulls the latest polls. While blind-spots
clutch white lace like arguments,
make space to process what flies past
as ****** rats stay the course,
a maze in grace.
