In the time it takes to ruin a
perfectly good night,
I spoke of
tomatoes. Leaving what was meant
in my throat.
Coughing, chocking on thoughts,
while leaning on the wrong
hole in the yard. Tomatoes.
----
I saw the present to late-
just when the nail
was coming,
going to meet its coffin
closing shut,
in order to talk less-I
gave it the slip.
Out ran quacks not heard
in echo. No-one knows why,
but the damage was done.
----
Onion flavored fingers makes
for onion flavored beer.
Its the smell, I think,
but i
do that to much these days.
Thinking aloud. I should
turn up the volume
of nature so that what escapes
these lips, blends.

ReplyDeleteGrear piece. I particularly like
ReplyDelete'in order to talk less-I
gave it the slip'. I'd do good to keep that in mind!
talk turns tricky telling tales of tomatoes...tempting trouble
ReplyDeletelena- nice, we all suffer from that...in some ways its the fun part.
ReplyDeleterene- alliteration, food and the ellipsis-a few of my favorite things.
