Fences
The head parts clouds,
Soft rays come out,
Released upon a fertile ground.
The ground’s a gut, which
Harkens back to
Greener grass of pastures past.
Sunrays flicker on and off,
A Morse code tapped through fate’s blue trough.
It sends a signal clout to
Dreamers and to larks, and
The gut it rumbles, ready to depart.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
There’s art to skipping fences.
‘The knot is gone,’ the head yells on,
‘But it’s a foolishness, is this.
The fence is fair to keep you there,
Comfort is a word for bliss to many other lips.’
The fence remains unpainted hence,
You score it with newfound intent,
In the pastels of the parlours
That found you when you left your home,
In amour with the world.
And that single word you snared in ink,
Draws envy for the flight of birds.
