It’s a riddle!

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

If you know the answer for having read this in the past, I urge you to not ruin the fun for others by giving it away.  Thanks!

———–

I am a brawny butterball
a corpulent cow of three thousand eighty-two pounds.
Look how my stomach sags like a hammock
strung between stumpy legs.
Point to a beast whose proportions are as fine as these!
What’s that?
You find my jowls rolly,
each polished gray fold flawlessly foldy,
every blush brushstroke copacetic in its utter pinkness—
of course you do!

Old Blood

Saturday, March 14th, 2009
Some memories are
hand-me-downs
brought in whispers as I
linger down the hall
or poured in by the potful
on caffeinated nights

They flicker through
my mind's Super Eight
unraveling
stripping me of sleep
particles of puzzles
bring glimpses into windows
of locked stockrooms.

scrub nerves
teeth
staples gore lips
the tongue
no language
fire pulses feet
blisters rigid knees
moans evacuate lungs,
eyes watch body
though not estranged.

The Innocent Observer

Friday, March 13th, 2009

I had this dream not too long ago, in which I participated not at all, but rather bore witness as an innocent observer. I have only rarely had dreams of this sort, and this one was particularly vivid. Also, I usually forget most of what I dream within 15 minutes of waking up. This one stuck with me, however. So I felt inclined to share it—partly because it was an extraordinary dream experience, and partly because—ha!–I have nothing else to share right now.

The Dream begins.
