Kirby Doyle, excerpt from Pre American Ode, 1st poem in beatitude #30"

 

 

 

 

 


Now, it's Spring and
trees float in the sky
we drink cool water with
the thirst of thundering
ponies
This morning you appear
like a bright flower
torn by thorns
the black light in yr
eyes give me a vision of a
Chicago nightclub &
dancing with a sudden
thunderstrom
we gaze snowblind at a
Russian ballet with clay
statues of Abraham Lincoln
falling silently on the
applauding audience.

~ Gary Johnston,
last poem in beatitude #30
