Plucking hearts and banjo (Free verse) by horus8
I'm over it now
I think
That left footed wind-up-nut-kick.
Patented
& humbled.
I wretch kneel pet your hand.
My needs were not my own.
Therefore, I own up to nothing.
Pass me your favorite holiday
like you passed me that malaria net.
I just bet
you are worth every sweat-slept-shake.
See my compass,
spin,
wander,
grovel back, I should,
but back to what?
I want to say something, now, to you.
What was our love to the moment?
To the weather?
Shoved
Undefoot & moody.
Hood up, I stretch walk the gutter.
Another, Mississippi lover
Was it a mud skipper?
A wave to Huck Fin
that broke me free.
Contretemps
by the mouthful.
I fought back success
with a four foot sunflower.
While Errol Flynning dark wood glossed floors.
Tequila toasts raised to Mexican Vikings,
and star blackened Druids.
Manhandeled.
I-love-I-love
What with the tempo met and all.
I stall,
again.
Reptilian
trowel me out
like you troweled me in.
Current roll
I wish I could decorate you forever.
Marsh gas,
but no,
Instead, I thumb back to mother
to find her
in the form of some other, young girl.
Wretched & tight, minded.
Charcoal hairing midnight, filtered.
I love them to love you.
Outside,
I am
without-within.
Depraving the low flex.
Upgrading,
and levied.
liable to love
you to death.
