Here's something you might be interested in.
Alligator and raccoon,
beaches and Bourbon,
kissing the moon,
blue bull balls,
toes and a perfect nose,
toothbrushes and pillows,
cynicism and cigars,
oats and groats,
playlists and no lists,
leprechaun and tinkers,
bike rides and seashells,
dead deer and diesels,
silver hearts and peanut shells,
twin dolphins, twin sister,
parrots and repacking,
regrets and hopes,
longings and fears,
a tiny yellow flower
pressed into a book,
tears streaming
from blueberry eyes
into a full length beard.
*
A story known
only to one, clippings
glued onto a box--
a decoupage of memories
too painful to keep
in my head that I gave
to you instead
to keep and to hold
dear what's embedded
in a forgotten place
deep within me.
