So I arrive in Heaven #2 Sort of a preview visit. This god’s a big friendly guy and the grass is very green. He blesses me with a sloppy smooch on the nose. I give him a nice warm hug and whisper my question in his ear:

Why did you make me need glasses?!

Inside the castle

six troubadours with guitars

and a fair maiden

Lush tufts of fur sprouting in his ear hole

Joints hankering for titanium

Dream driving the car Plunging through an ultimate grey

On the edge of expiration a phantom breeze from childhood reminds him of soft sweet hummingbird songs

A hot surge of fear

With the incursion of sharks

(...Ease out of the pool...)

A driver in Cleveland pulls up next to the intercom and orders a hamburger

The crows see nothing odd in this and flap off into the new Heavens fancying themselves festive like black velvet butterflies

In a parking space the car idles its heater treating the day’s chill like a minor disease

The hamburger is tasty with perfect squirts of ketchup and mustard fondling the pickles

As midnight looms I sometimes feel the sharp edge of a poem hankering for fresh air

Birds are plummeting

The old earth totters backwards

Dodging their impact

When my brother died

I didn't think much

about resurrection

Slabs of foundation

had shifted

and I felt something

just gurgle out

through the fissures

and the world

went flat

On the

best days

now

I can sometimes

pretend he’s in

an infinite sea

Alive

I heard

the quiet voice

of god

on someone else's

phone

Peaceable neighbors Daisies and dandelions Share their green homeland

If the stars have plans for us I’d rather not know

The planting and paving shall continue unmoved

Hymns

about the

voyage

of eccentric

primates

and the clothes

they wear

while courting

Woven

zinc overalls

and hip boots

Ski masks

with embroidered

hearts

Nice Sunday

skirts

suitable for

clogging

Schedules

penciled in

for spaceflight

Birds weary of worms Seek new dining adventures Dear to their taste buds

#poetry #poem #spilled ink #haiku

[chucklingpecan]

under the tree

when the words

dissolve

your

inrushing

tide

reseeding

the center

There's this

parable

about a pickle

a banana

and the rusty

tailpipe

of an old Buick

Somebody

shoves them in

and the engine

explodes

#poetry #poem #spilled ink

[chucklingpecan]

naked together

in the sleeping bag

Warm flesh

& the electric hum

of an August

midnight
