Melting in the Dark
Mercy granted in the key of C
coffee cafe on a June Saturday
careless in fantasies or icy dreams
field full of Frisbee’s floating freely
geese on the pond chasing sailboats
tripping in the park; melting in the dark
Quagmire still runs searching for Lois
dance a jiggidy step as Peter frolics
seek forgiveness; tomorrow’s Sunday
busting a bubble from a pink Bazooka
Pleasuring rhyme upon a cartoon insert
begging for mercy in MacArthur’s Park.
Thorns and Petals
And in the final act
we were all just human
intoxicated with the idea
that love, only love would
heal our starved hearts,
mend our brokenness and
bind our wanton lust with
rose thorns and red petals.
