1.
Purple makeup
Washed out her sneer,
Sniveling at near
Touch. Holding accountable
Winter approaches to summer conditions.
Management evaluated the day.
Stymied soft-cell accomplishment
For anchor sets.
X
And
O
Sans the polished reverb
Evaporating from unspoken
Replies
And
Rhythmic emails.
Store fronts
Presented symbols,
Styled in graffiti. Red meant the End. Blue classified starting over.
“Something like a new day.” She said.
Thrift store politics
Priced the fine art book
At an affordable stare.
Declaring Florence golds
An empty channel,
To host tunnel
Vision
For Art
Priced to move quickly.
Boxes emptied
Of their products
Left only
As their brand names.
Haunted plastic bags.
2.
No longer a bedroom.
Closed.
No longer a sponge.
Filled.
No longer organs.
Spilled.
No longer promises.
Forgotten.
Holding Court
Against opposite galaxies
Another I
Sees the stars
And begins the light
Tunnels seek to darken.
