the mouth of my ordinary

Post by Perdida » July 3rd, 2007, 7:07 pm

my colour is ordinary
and in-between my happenings
no shades pursue it
there are no shadows to
weave round me like a stream
no twilight, no dream

just the voice of night
her quiet persuasions
and the easiness of the moon

i watch her take off her gown
O, how she silences the wind

but the sea, O the sea
holds her broken
all ground up and boisterous

landing it’s moans there
at the mouth of my ordinary
dragging back the pages
with sand songs.

My Familiar is the shadow of my ordinary
its color is frosty as a pantomime

it follows me around like a raven song
and does my bidding in the animal world

My Familiar is my extraordinary
my beastly version, a dingo or a bat
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."
