A Facebook Notification Poem by Derek Marcoux

Thunder



its in my ears

going through my hammer

slamming into the stirrup and whatever else is there

besides the vertigo machine



Calypso



Post humorous calamity



Mary Jane is a bad mama



do you do the doo doo

the rain is back



pitter patter going down

hitting the stone

in my soul

making music in the air

electronic soul



worship the one who saves



pray for those going to their graves



I'm in a love with the music

of the soul in time to dance

but I don't

because I'm writing this to you

my lover

my reader



do you hear the crescendo

echoing out of my emotion maker

is it in my brain or heart

why do we cry

why do I cry over the sound of this beauty

echoing out from within me.



the dark sky is full of stars

pinpoints of light keeping the dark away

who are we to them



am I a poet of dreams

making you see what I see



making you understand what cannot be?



do I relate to you the unfathomed or just repeat what you already know



are you out there my beauty



just like me is your mind free

of 3-D

I'm in the fourth fifth six and seventh

part way into heaven waiting for the rest to go

beloved I cannot go and stop and end

to write such a blend.

of music and thought and tears and peace.



sleep and dream it

live it and make it happen



do I post this to you so you can read

or just hit the like

button



you have a Facebook notification.

and i' have a note.
