Answer Me

It is not over

yet marginal daffodils

wide awake with wide

faces about face

writhing with history

about to make history

even violet seared

with scarred scared

voice uncurated polite 

sample case of paint swatches

divvied up among 

emergency renderings pinkeyed

near blue genderfeather cloud 

baked into the habitat we occupy

do we voice what you few 

drizzle in arrears near pearls

of peonies 

he hop skip jumps I always bob-

sled with direction inferred

try to track my hiding from

fracture before it happens

long into the night auto-

correcting the dizzying

effects the long and short of grace

over plexiglass repairs loitering near plaudits

suffice it

to say boastful ways through furnishings

left to the collect 

voiced as prayer stones ulterior

romances intonation (I felt the

slant rhyme deathbed 

mimed she falters near 

the feather beds near the misspelled

first name that galls 

me
