#explicate
far, far away lands, who peer behind the curtains of my words,
and stun me into the ponderous, absolute silence
of a snowfall deeply forested,
find meaning in my words
that confounds me
beyond belief,
appearing silently
like the quietude investitured
in a unique universe of e~falling
white grained uniquely shaped
snowflakes,
a blissful sounding that ironically cannot be heard, but be
only sensed through vision and tongued taste buds and
bare skin
such a snowfall blanks me au courant,
from a new place,
where I have never trod,
though my ancestors came from there
a century and a half
ago
and this symmetry surprises me….
I thought though,
my shadings are/were explicitly
hidden hintings,
that oft escape from me,
and escape from
even
me,
as my owned but unsensed
realizations
but as I observe the steady falling snow blanking the eastern entirety
of. these united states,
from Polska
come bytes of my soul,
returned to me,
mined from me,
explicated,
extracted,
from me
and I am
uncovered by them,
just as the inches of fresh snow,
that covers me,
comes from recirculating
ancient waters,
revisiting today as snow,
asking me,
why are you surprised?

Chatter
she. what are u listening to?
me. melancholy song writers broken love tunes
she. ugh. why?
me. wanted to see how deep into the bed
I could sink,
till you came a looking to
play with me, my spirits to raise,
a game of capture the flag
indoors

Aural vs. Oral
her night dress rides up,
I awake to an undressed
waist and thigh,
take advantage of the pomp
& circumstance,
cause i believe
whole heartedly in
waiste not, want more
as tongue performs its
repertoire of magic tricks,
i.e. reciting poems,
to the standard whelps
and yelps of “oh its just you,”
keep hearing little tiny whispers
but not those accustomed
sweet nothings?
turns out she is
listening to her book,
quite the mesmerizer,
on her new cordless earbuds
which are tablecloth covered
by her blondini tresses
upset?
nah. applauded her
multimedia tasking,
but took it as a challenge,
my efforts redoubled
she didn't seem to mind
now she wakes me up to show me,
Surprise!
her cordless earbuds, in place
sigh.

Ordering Coffee
weekends, get coffee in bed
in my 19 oz. porcelain
cup from Toronto,
standing order is:
fill it to the rim,
extra cream
she says.
isn't ironic!
that is exactly
what I
charge for my coffee
payable in advance

The other day,
To my dismay,
I came across a newt.
In my attempts,
To explicate,
Off that newt did shoot.
