Poets In Love Poem by Chris Zachariou
Poets In Love
The poet with unbridled thoughts
and the scent of fledgling sparrows
on her lips
rides bareback to the river
on the preacher's scarlet mule.
Baring her teeth, she hunts
the piety of the mosquito hunter
until her quarry whimpers
and sails on his sterile raft
until he finds her bathing in the river
wearing nothing but the rattle
of her designer chains.
In the shade of an aspen tree
the poets revel in the sweet taste
of failure and scorn the moonless
landscape of success.
Their unfinished rhymes
writhe in sheer wantonness
with the songs of blue wasps
on a bed of fallen needles.
Mired in the fever of this new swamp
she flutters in his calloused hands
and cries to her lover 'push me down
and push me down until I taste the mud'.
The painting is very impressive too. Thank you so much for sharing
