60 minutes … One picture-poem
For each minute minute of life lived. Or un-lived.
Limited to picture-words. Word-pictures…
TV images. Flashing. Quick word bites.
Each minute must perform its piece,
Or provide a glimpse. Of previous performance..s
Of life spilt.. sloshed ...split.. …Into kaleidoscopic bits
And pieces…
Unspooled ..spools leaking..through brain-pipes
Un-winding..winding…trails…through blinding mazes
Wrapped around finger-snails..frail..sleight-trains
Running on braille.. criss-crossing…converging
Fusing to a haunt in the distance…
Memories.. greens.. purples..reds tossed in a salad bowl
Of words, images, stereophonic sounds… cacophonic howls
Familiar and unfamiliar, jigsaw puzzles. Mindscapes. Painted
On odd pieces of stretched canvas. S-t-i-f-f. As dead cow-hide.
Bleeding acrylic oil emulsion turpentine. That disguise the stench.
Ruminations in formaldehyde….
