Graveside Oration

Our late friend hated blue skies,
Bible-quoting preachers,
Politicians kissing babies,
Women who are all sweetness.

He liked drunks in church,
Nudists playing volleyball,
Stray dogs making friends,
Birds singing of fair weather as they crap.

--Charles Simic (as seen in The Paris Review, Spring 2010)

I haven't posted a poem in a while...

Restlessness

Walking side-by-side,

the travelers shine,

moonlit and new at the start

of their journey

through the barren expanse.

Like two pearls

glinting in the light,

yellow-white.

The bright of their craniums

contrasting the slate-

gray and black patches

that paint the desert floor

blotchy during the small hours.

Only the sands and cacti

feel the throbbing

in their chests, the beating

that hovers above their hearts

like a flock of buzzards hunting.

Never will the beasts land.


--Me.
