Literature Text

the grass is verd ant wet
it krills through my toes
and slags under my feet

the sky is as you, blue
dotted with cloud sand sculptures
of heroic beasts
and villainous hands tandem
like a wilting glance

shifting from dawn to dusk

the tree czar, happy with birds
lush rich reaching deep, deep
within thearth and hearth

cradling bed s'oft children
falling as tigers shake the branches (Sanchez)
making real the nursery crimes

times with her wither
with him within the reaches and depths
of coiled coins and granular sky diving dances

gift given hand sanities are pressed like
kneaded brows needing comfort
come for the wine,
stave, or the kisses

but leave for the trees, happy with birds
songs long lasting deep, deep
into the sleepless night

--

bah, tin - my eyes
the grass is grey and jággedy
an djinns dænce to the dim din

but in my eyes
the sky is grey and operas sieve
through screaming curtains of clarity
blurred with clouds and sculptures
shifting from grey to grey to grey to grey too grey

the trees are grey with grey birds
preying on the maggots that feast on their fallen children
when the bough breaks the cradle will
be rebuilt on the same frail tree
grey'll be the end of me
the end of me
the end of me

come for the wine
stay for the kisses
leave for the trees in season
treason in grey
tree song ingré

the silence holds
till
the silence
holds

still.
shall we 
shell we
fill we
fell we.


This poem is best read out loud. so i changed the category to spoken word. The lines may be interpreted differently to someone who strictly hears the poem without knowing the written words.
