sweaters & swears

Table Rasa

Blank slate

blanketing empty space formed

thoughts

lost in flannel sheets woven

blankets incubating

unforgotten inspiration

forgetting sweat-dripped

salutations greetings baiting

(i said ‘sorry’ for my accidental sounds. tonal merit erred in misnamed hours)

The repetition

      (repetition

                              repetition)

skips tidal “hellos”

to contemplate ever cycles

spun in doubt.

Then the thoughtful nested inklings

of angel intervention

angled downward

in tundra ground

(the marigold imagination wilted in frozen soil. harvest demanding implantations and always failing)

They were dug out from

the captivation of

crossed legs proper

camouflaged in simple folds of

comforter wisdom.

Still still in place though

melted in hidden space

(no eden could grow dormant messenger’s hopes)
