Carson City (Free verse) by A. Nomaly
Looking inside the Financial Vat
Lined with cold and gold
Fired log based for support
Red Ravens circle above
stirred by freedom (AY!...) and
Capricorned Hearts
Creek is cold
Too cold for this time of year
Mid July
It should be spurting out warm body fluids
from a just cut and killed carcass
That's the earth
the same life breathing flesh
we so privelaged people got
Scarred and filled with Mysterious gases
and molten material buried and sometimes
seepimg between tectonic fissures
movement in plates
skeletal reverberation in D minor
Passed out and bent down to drink
Essential to remember every moment
even walking up stairs or did
we take the elevator. Passed
Out! Slipped and fell. What
A relief Never Again, Rolled
over on one side, Drink and sky.
Wasn't this somwhere with
trees and rocks, sticks and
shoes (toes cut out, strung over
Telephone wire) All Natural
Elements, Side Splitting
Juices run
Subject to caprice
Dollars gained
(Shadowy cloud Moods pushed by wind)
Thoughts of whimsy for every fifth second
passed (now heres the folly) At
Will
Never trust the Happy ones
(see Diogenes)
and to think you have no part, Dimwit
