Diary of a Poem

 

 

Prose refuted:

 

struck, the blank hour stays

struck˜an indoor resolution

and most merciless of all

the colors we tweaked together

 

prose refuted:

 

rumor slides across rumor

each remembers to search my morning suspect

 

she loves the sound of breaking chains.

 

 

*

Prose refuted:

 

struck, the hour stays

struck˜an indoor resolution

and most merciless of all

your face made me noisy

 

the essay melted

in the blood mine

as if we had any choice

 

prose refuted:

 

that rumor enjambed on

a plaque in the red-brick museum of loneliness

you need so much research to make it beautiful

but please don't make me say it.

 

 

*

Prose refuted:

 

next best thing to wordless

the violet day hammers along

and most merciless of all

impossible to have been present without

 

taking part

in those colors

 

prose refuted:

 

God sleeps in his Word

get flung out of pretty

you need so much research to make it beautiful

but please don‚t make me say it.

 

*

Prose refuted:

 

struck, the next best thing to wordless

the essay melted

and makes you want to crash

what sky-blue distance wrote

 

prose refuted:

 

so if I had a diary

even critics pass away

they want to search my morning suspect

 

she loves the sound of breaking chains.

 

*

Prose refuted:

 

the essay melted

a space to peer into and lean

out of

 

thrones, dominions

in the casual sense

 

prose refuted:

 

God sleeps in his grassy Word

whose angel folds me carefully

 

the colors we tweaked together

his outtakes and bloopers.

 

*

Prose refuted:

 

rumor slides across rumor

I sank into it but forgot to drown

 

this canary borne repeating

on fast clouds

 

toward prose refuted:

 

go forth little saffron bird

toward inquorate nights of poetry

your rumor

more than gone.

 

*

Prose refuted:

 

in this bronze museum

Rembrandt, lift me up to golden failure

let grief pacification false memory

drift outside the book

 

prose refuted:

 

don‚t kiss

all she wants is

your every forgiveness

 

let‚s get out our pretty rumors

in the sunlight

more than gone

 

lipidic colors

prose refuted.
