XII.
So I basically
forgot
of the existence
of my own
personal
muse
As you were truly
the source
of my poetic
yearnings.
Oh, fear not avid reader.
I write onÖ
You, the disappearing reappearing
poet/doll
were my jumpkick boost
the fuse to my dynamite
the push at the top
of a steep
steep
mountain
and the introduction
to a life intelligent
of radical poetry
and literature that actually did
blow my brains out
early a Saturday morning
and only Tuesday afternoon, 3:30ish so
did I find the
lower half
of my cerebrum
behind
the
radiator.
YOU! introduced me
introspected me
hardly prepared me
for the trip I now take
myself on.
YOU! the blast
the lethal dose of intelligence
the single handed reason I apply
ink to pale india paper
YOU! gone, lost, invisible, beyond
YOU! a god, a devil, a spirit, a human
a doll, a lifeforce, a break, a link
a want, a need, a have, a cast away
from your own world.
and 7 months
25 days
23 hours
since our last mute laughter together
why did you show up on my doorstep
last night?
