80 Poems in 80 Days: 9

A Lens and no Curve

Paper cutouts against
a man's umbrella
fluorescent against the
musk of night
and dull to the heart.
Give me the ribbon
I have come for
and I will fish from
your eyes sentiment
and leave reason
to do its hard
job.

  1. i've noticed that the content of your poems have been about transcending to something...interesting.

  2. not too much of a fan of "and dull to the heart"--too many beats, not an image i wanted...
