EXCERPT
Mediterranean Calls
Yellow_ teasing_
broken_ alabaster_
Basted blue in a closed pewter pot
Cut the hands of the blade
pour slow the anger
And mind the pages when they’re hot
Slow_ are the mindless minutes after the
‘sorrow’s flight’
…The light’s fine in here, so’s the beer
Yesterday is just a melted muse of lectures_
leering at the multitudes_
_draped ‘long side an overcoat
she wore in another time

Most definitely the poetry
ReplyDeleteI like the title and the simplicity of the cover
ReplyDeleteI learned and recited poetry on my high school's speech team. I like to read and share poems too. I'd like to read this book as it says it has more than poetry in it ;)
