"yawing" poems - Hello Poetry

We fall, and hard, and in the shadows, ***** ourselves on snags, that tear our clothes; grazed and cut, we stagger on - Impressions, ideas, fancies! Of these have we been disabused. But is this spring, come again? Lovely, yesterday, in the bright sunlight, to see you, felt green hat in among the photo clouds, apple suedes on the gallery's dank floor. Melvyn, and I, merrily circling with you the light cloud images, my nostrils full of pollen spikes. The pictures: wisps of trailing dreams churning in ‘scapes of infinite blue; dark clouds, in amongst them, too. Photographs in two time places caught; at once, all: the other and t'other. So excitement swells, and everything besides us quells, because the knowing of itself, knows, and dares beyond the frames; to skirt knowingly the unsaid; to want beyond the wounded past, to pull things, once again, inside out. In whimsy’s currents flow these thoughts, these feelings, these drives; swirling in eddies, so that as you sit, on a summer’s day, it moves, a mirror to everything above. The wavelets on the surface, hammered into shape, burn, bite and dazzle; the sun’s flames leaping and dancing on ripples. In the basement, on the concrete, your Y proneness shifts, releasing knees on black-clad thighs; two pendulums swinging, brushing; yawing metronomes in the cool, coolness of my desultory thoughts. Oh, what am I saying? Feelings like reveries walk along these silver lips straying languorously. These myths are too soon made, carried one to the next, one-on-one, until contained no longer, become new truths.

Were you ever called a *****

We fall, and hard, and in the shadows, ***** ourselves on snags, that tear our clothes; grazed and cut, we stagger on - Impressions, ideas, fancies! Of these have we been disabused.
