yet another song of greenA Poem by A.M. Nelson...I do plan on 'fixing' this.
yet another song of green. fables yellow. grass red, fish hassling the waters of the pond; blue, crayon. bend the rainbow backwards on its backbone, snap! the sound upon the knee kindle fire in-between finger-thumb symbolism of an infant dead, foreshortened life and death, as Donne would inscribe his bones to the Earth; a shallow grave our footsteps make, upon the stepping, after step that shortly you will meet the End. flame retarded, (the) eyes dancing outside the corona; sight. visions of fury, then, swell like the Mother's breast. and harbour them like yachts, who dine upon the sea with milky white teeth, in-out, breaking waves teeth gnashing teeth, lips bleed, surf spills: crest my head upon a downy pillow. i sleep inside an apple in a casket. demons lair, silver hair, I dream inside the demons hair. and can you picture the limbs of starry-eyed kids being swallowed by a guillotine? and are pigeons the birds of message or the dinner meant for hungry cats? and fat I am from breathing air spooned from golden arches. Bulging, smudged in grease, surely soon to be deceased. colours sold from rainbow broken, or just plundered like the virgin pickle and I am of the thought that in this void of black and white, the world has been painted in the memory of green; of blessed trees, or fruity reds, and sky hued blue that, now, in neon decadence our eyes must face the sight of a world without nature-- and all the things we see just some plastic rash, products of unwholesome rainbow mimicry! © 2008 A.M.
