Scott Underwood Poems

Antim Sanska (Final Rite)

Take off the veil that shadows the moon of your face.
Don’t hold anything back.
...

Nightingale

It all seems so anachronistic:
Touching of fingers
...

Poem to You; Last Wave

after the last wave this morning
I was laughing on the sand.
...

Thoughts of Tu Fu and the End of the Line

Here in the city
The onshore winds have begun to blow with Winter's frigidity.
...

In Honor of Li Po: Remember Years Ago

There were tequilas all around.
A twenty year old girl from Santa Ana
...

What Matters, Vivi?
You sing that Neruda poem
As the ancients
Of Machu Picchu
...

To the Friend

There is a beauty in sadness
and you are beautiful.
...

As the Lifeguards Bury a Seal at Sunset Beach

When I breathed in your ear, a child sprung forth.
When I smiled at your errors, another one awoke.
...

While Watching the Bum from My Balcony above the Sea

If I were to believe in a heaven, it would look like this:
Wet walls of water created by swirling storms
...

Sleep is for the Weak

I promised not to drink the wine;
I would be good and sober,
...

Wake up early.
Think of past failures.
Look down then up.
Sunshine somewhere.
...

Who do you pretend to love tonight, dear?
I can tell you about my manikin, if you want to hear.
...

The Best Poem Of Scott Underwood

Antim Sanska (Final Rite)

Antim Sanska (Final Rite)

Take off the veil that shadows the moon of your face.
Don’t hold anything back.
It’s too late for that.

The scent from your delicate neck
Spirals like smoke from a funerary fire
Burning at the edge of this wracked sea.

The blooms of desire
In the flower of your kiss
Are cool and muscular

On this full moon at the edge of apocalypse.
