delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it......... Poems

it
violate
tear
gnaw
...

gestures,
articulate as ruffled doves...
as lizards on a twig,
swaying with each
...

but....listening to the news...
wondering just how it feels
to be 'shot in the incident...'
(the person is going to survive,
...

an attempt
to slip through,
slide
away
...

mortalized in the colors of the artist's palette...
our testimonies, our re-interpreted deeds...
contrasting hues
sing our green melodies,
...

if we were to meet
in a place of unconstrained, infernal happiness...
no....these words of definition do not suffice..
.....I'll start again:
...

it tempts, beckons....asking a moistening,
a frothful foray
into territories, more provocative than arcane...
a softer-spoken sirenic call
...

we lie disordered
on the sand...
having found no keys
to polydactyl freehold
...

of ten thousand steps
is not the same
for a Chihuahua
as it is
...

to be tossed flailing in a fiery furnace
or be bit by that insect the deadly earnest....

I know which choice I'd make...do you?
...
