With Wild Abandon
April 20, 2016
Six and ten circles
plus a hundred
more spins
around the sun
before the choice
my first
(with limits)
granted
as token
permission
to force wakefulness
on a well exhausted day
just for spite
So I chose
it was as easy
as breathing
the sanitary intentions
laid out for me
to rest on
the deeply
embossed
foul
yellow
stains
All the While
Others see
only glitter
and gleam
the titanic
staterooms
red flocked
white house
powder rooms
*Ma propre Vie
Ma Folie
gelled
absolute
beaten pulp
spread out
to dry
my dreams
in long slow
copper cylinders
laser etched
with cobblestones
and side walk cafes
the mulberry silk
smoke screen
weaved
my world
whole
I creep
in passages
and hide
in translations
and get lost
in the crowning
mold
It is time
I peel Paris down
