reading e-books by Ashbery and Frost
soft music in the background
pain
in the background
the words of love gone
these poets knew that the leaves
of the imperial trees were skilled
architects of shadow
they also knew about the winds and about the rain
and how the flowers
fought for survival
lying low
they knew the mirrors' code names
for silence
but never revealed them.
Salvador Dali's pet looked like him
and I promise you
I didn't want to write anything about this
but since I write about something each day
why not
now if you would like to do a search on google
type anteater
then chose images
I'm pretty certain you'll regret
if you did
