Three Prose Poems

 

#3
open handed words are quite handy to have when green bed silver times spoons roll through my window we lived in a car on the simple road in books read and called through some quiet swirled screen to discuss effective advertising the words tingle as they think of a white framed abyss miss much can’t you get in and can you reply cat i don’t think it’s a good idea and neither do your words you people

the opposite of chaos is chaos and no reversing moving places through a colored screen words dance across like chicken scratching much love a little too soon a match skidded across sand some car got fired from this quaint to have you next to me in my drool spool pile where laundry i think vacuum whenever we talk it all comes up beer at a table so high it’s like standing sitting but we haven’t found a folded unfolded table you know a patch of undercover spring spray a weathered vine attempt to deforest the winter frost make a music finger of the one time only sky and take a second snow

my in and outside space covers clover and saplings by the brook in a white village of fences we breathe and exhale all day long the tip of your tongue touches since we cannot see the cold of being lost beneath a bridge of cement connected to towering walls of cement, cement beneath our feet in a picture of death we dream about ocean and it’s before seconds build into interminable space seizures of early to bed ladies we without a flag are in the whole comet touching noses and toes we lie in a frying pan in our backyard wizardland and everything’s handed to us in a troubled plane we intercept balls thrown though green turf isn’t space game but bouncing ground to test the time it takes to collapse that bridge
