September 2021 Collage Poem: Hope Resurfaces
In the coffee Kingdom of Costa the one eyed poet is Laureate.
This side of heaven armed with only a steak pie
Whispers around the world as sunset melts into twilight
14 cows gifted to 5th Avenue
The darkness-loving mermaid rises from the surface, knows
It’s time to rise to the light
Out of beef, smoke rings circle the world
Orange flesh licked by thirsty acolytes, weeping wounds sucked dry
Gaia surfaces, sees her slashed swimsuit and Donald
Fishing from his blow up dollar.
Psychic automatism after rains and startled crows with hangnail dreams
Bosch nailed the boredom of his life into the filing cabinet.
The Gods of Zoom smile on us on this balmy Indian Summer's Eve
The darkness-loving mermaid rises from the surface, knows
It’s time to REACH the light.

Poetic clues are left
portrayed for us to guess
a kind of heaven sense.
