weeds

weeds
let the masses run and hide
the grass is dying---
the lower class has taken us
for a ride
*
i dreamt of the scene in a dark,
firelit parking lot of decadence
people putting values on things
that make least sense
*
weeds
the cars run over themselves
and die...the reef has trapped
the ship of ignorance
on rocks of knowledged lies

SONG OF RINUNZO
*
by Astinerzo Rinunzo
*
Hold me ever so close
Administer (me) the Lethal Dose
pick out for me a daisy or
A Lily one of those
*
For thou hast slain me
even where I stand
Thou hast banished me
to a surely foreign land
*
I have been a child in
your arms my friend
With luck and love
a man to prove again
We may have seen inside the Soul
and perhaps even Known the fruitful Fold
*
And thou hast conquered
like a king from very far
with my Galaxy collided
Thou art but my fatal star
*
Kiss me once and I shall fall
into the harmony of your every call
Bid me onward to provide your all
Thou hast blinded me of sun
and moon and even candlelight
I am what's left as you can right
We are the stillness of the snowy
sleepy winter's night.
--------------------------------------------------Amazing~~two disparate poets appearing on the same page! I'll get the hang of this back=wise at last. I feel like a conduit...or maybe an enabler. Now if only i could reply to the voices in my forgetful brain.

I anticipate many & much commentary--
and encourage all archivists & poets [pomers]
to join in. My mood was literate...
Mssrs. Forbes & Rinunzo could not be far different
And yet each stands alone, historically~~
"We are the stillness of the snowy/sleepy winter's night." Oh my. I like that much. And fatal star. (so pass the word on to Astinerzo, wudja?) i used someone else's poetic phrase to make a PICTURE (animation) make sense. How verbal is that. Here's the link to that:
