Litter Bug Star

Before the fall me & morning star under the tree of life.

"Before the fall."

Staunch, fat, biting gold.

I'll lay my name through, tooth.

To the ruler engraved crown for crown.

So have a friend shill a coin to the ferryman when I pass away.

Smelling poppies on latent days rubbed drably against misty-eyed strangers I hope.

Visions of you, like breaking devaneio at dawn.

Scrolling ordinals under the digital skylight together begging God’s credit by the waters.

On life's stage we vainly crashed fleets of words abroad of each other's connection.

In attempt to capture by proxy the aditus.

How we slouched about the rooms now left empty of the inhabitants whose taste once raided inside them.

Our round faces pawning tailored passions read merry with habits.

Now hung loose fit we became the plastics cultists.

It’s all so f*****g passe.

If only blood rushed echoes to rest in, ear.

You.

Litter bug.

You.

Bare it well.

Casting shade for former particle existence, estranged of the salience

There beneath goldenrod limbs you're uplifting whispers.

Star gazing.

A lame thief I let sleep in my eyes.

The morning stars silver leaf falling like laundered thought, I playing here a note in banners painted fade.

Slaps past painted of cracked oil and gouache.

Almost Ad Victoriam.

Hellos,Jon R.T.
I find this piece exhilarating.
I don't know the history of Queen Victoria of Britain and Ireland.
I had to research it. But it doesn't sound good. I'm curious of what happened.
Loved your portrayal of Queen Victoria. The world is so little yet so enormous.

thank you. the poem is about a daydream of a beggar by the river Styx but I incorporated modern terms like shill which is a term used in the nft space as well as latent space. No intended connection to the queen or Ireland intended. When i was young i saw movies of men bitting gold to see if it was real so that line is saying my bite on the crown is my signature, the crown of my tooth on the crown of the queen or king's gold. hope this helps for a better reread.

Okay, I see, I thought it was about a person who nightmares, of poverty in Britain because of Queen Victoria. Fuuny, ---Maynard
