Bathing Brave Barbie |
Come along into the fog,
Trip on a log and swamp fill your mind.
Throw a paper cup into light
Go ahead toss it
Watch it
Whistle.
It recycles itself
Into thistle.
I'm too soon
To assume that there is anything beyond this rabbit holding.
Hutch.
Scolding my...
Go, go in between gadget.
Guilt.
Hold my head.
Stilt.
Scrub a dub dub dubbing
Dixie cup dunking.
Alice is
Drunk in the tub again
The water is warm
Reading a book
Soft on the skin
If you dunk yourself
You can hear the echo of linoleum.
Love
It's a safe place.
Yeah.
Sickle the feet
The thunder
The wonder
Of that
Fear
Underneath.
The wise men wear turbans and tango with snakes.
I'll plant myself there.
"Halo?"
Between the scream and the air
Hair hides the face.
Wallow, wallow.
What's a gumdrop dumb girl like you doing in a place
Like this?
Barbie dolls Q-tips.
Dips into a
Plastic stick.
Period pie.
Prana, prana
Sliced too thin.
A woman whose sin was exposed
Dampened by a watering hose.
Drip dry all the thoughts clean.
Leave.
Sleep. Simmer.
Turn the shower on and feed the
Water.
Face the sun,
The fear that creeps up,
Slip and slide
The body is numb.
Tied to Treasure
Yellow pleather
Wet white wicked feather.
Owls stand in a trance.
Oooh...Oooh...
Alone again
At last.
It's nice.
Neat, but I miss my feet.
The feathers.
Four scores and seven fears ago.
Send me a dream of the stars that we made
Shameless shapes.
Machine, machete,
Paper puppet pilfer confetti.
Celebrate life as though we never separate.
Coagulate into
Clown clouds
Couple under the bubble of bridges.
Birthing Letters.
AB, Che. Guevara
Play.
Crayola pilfer the fear,
With a pitted picture book.
A Peacock outline.
Pop up.
Look.
We were young, naive and brave to believe.
In glow-in-the-dark days of the universe
In my private place
Puzzled pieces.
Writing love letters on walls
The crayon calls.
Imaginary friend.
The lover draws herself a nap and then walks in.
Wow, it's bright in here.
Gumby seek.
Wish, wish,
Fee fi fo fum
Find me a fish
Inside this pond water.
Throw me a line
A lever
A lover
Crescent letter covers.
Fly me to the moon and back again.
Unwind into the attic.
Attack the toys
The GI Joe boys.
Jester to the waiter who brings the water.
Condensed thirst.
Throating.
This messy milk
This blessed burst
Attach only what love lets you.
Dunkin
Donut deny yourself anything
That doesn't comply with the light.
Embrace a
Peek-a-boo pie,
Peanut painter.
Sing.
Sigh.
Swing.
Into Peace.
Songs.
Let it be. Let it be.
Crap, I can't clean all of this.
Clean.
So I'll leave and stare at the air.
Time trickles, and tickles thought.
Pillsburied dough boys.
Dote,
Date.
And vote.
Vanish.
Veggie for veggie.
Hop scotch.
Skip a worry.
Tick tack token.
Try to smile
Instead of smoking.
Light up a life with a leaf you found.
Elate sound.
Send yourself a guide
A diamond mind.
I'm onto something new.
The direction of glue
A purple Post-It note.
Reminds you that you are steeping, and seeping.
Supper in a cup, left uncovered,
Sipping.
Something to do.
Silly string stick to the plan.
Banish all bran from your brain.
Blah blah blah.
Blink.
Bon. Bon. Blow me.
Then slinky stink.
Stop thinking.
Make a Choke about a chicken who chased himself into a diction
Crossed the road and wound up in yo-yo.
Always talk, talk, talking
And squawk squawk squawking.
But never awake.
It's time to.
Mix up a poem
With a dash of dervish vanilla,
A cinnamon stick trick.
Walla!
Manilla envelope lick.
Oatmeal the iota.
Mail yourself the results.
Tricycle train yourself to
Repeat, review, and resign at the bottom.
I bet you thought you didn't have any time.
Let water faucet fill the softer
Slide off yourself
Into the void that's devoid of any kind of criticism.
The Shamanist shoe shaped vision.
The boat that keeps sinking.
Swallow.
Sing.
Sail.
Wave into
Whale water.
