SLAM entry. Taking a peek into my ol' burlap bag... |
the poet peeked pretentious spirits restless verbs released momentum burlap bounded mounting coup and counter-coup contusions past and present future tenses dangling squinting running on sojourning solar winds escaping wailing massless ghouls irradiating nouns and idioms appositives restraining oohs and aahs retaining forces red-tagged verbs but where’s the love? ? she's got a hook she lost the love she’s captain hook regarding love? she finds her courage puts her pliers to the bag removes the hidden seam it’s love she’s holding love it gleams of gold confetti glitter spectral glow emitting light enthusiastic and endearing so entrusting past the fear she holds the love enough for all Mobius-stripped garroted gluttony aside enough for all she passes buckets spilling buckets sharing willingly hello enough for all in neon colors party favors glassy cheers she gives humanity her voice enough for all her inner beauty circles back the seam collapses bagging dreams her obligation duly calls the bag is full she holds the love the poet piqued |
