"unnaturalness" poems
There's no sullying its consternation of him in her,
her in him.
A downy black of exquisite precaution...pops its
ruffled heretofore and floats.
As if a night cocked back its neck to calculate the
trauma, longingly poised as a swivel of mottled
blood.
The black swan's eyes fork some bygone coruscation
to their very top...as if in the throes of demonic rapture.
Whereby reality's moments of lucidity seem to catch
frozen frames in want of editing.
Thereupon...as there it is, as there it goes...the black
swan subsumes, wears the guise of regal unnaturalness.
A betokened freak loosed...loosed...so...softly, at
maximum indifference...O black swan.

I get out of my car
Walk towards the sliding doors
That open to a paradise of food
I pass through to the promised land
Picking up a red basket
The bright lights hit my face
The packages all neatly nestled
Look at me with pleading eyes
Pick me, choose me, take me home
Products gently cradled in my basket
I stop to compare and contrast
Low fat, sugar-free
Fiber!
Moving along, passing this or that
Surrounded by endless choices
Suddenly I stop in the chip isle
And it hits me
The unnaturalness of it all
The fos fluorescent lights
The plastic cradles
The smear of bright colors
The pleading eyes
Slogans of the pre-packaged soul
It’s a brisk February afternoon
And I find myself crying
Alone
In the grocery store

Hereabouts was inearthed the grief of an infatuate;
Beneath the moonlight and clinged by deception;
Thou, one and only sol in the murkiness;
Pour spilled, imbrued the prediction away from the windfall;
Thou, who laughed there then shivered forsakenly?
presumed a northwind that never tied up here;
Was life span soundless as the unnaturalness of the ambiguity?
conversed without confab, forsaken the anguish each one raindrops;
Hasten the broken heart in the wake of thee;
When silhouette remains anonymous, hence thou stand synonymous;
thence it's tiring to imitate its fascination;
how afflicts sweet taste of hyperbole from a guileless lip;
Thou laud me, when thou stare me in emptiness;
Thou palter me, when thou don't seek about my beauty;
Thou vanished, when thou don't see amore anymore...
