I Went to the Museum of Art to See My Poet Friends

I went to the Museum of Art

To see my poet friends,

I heard their poems and wrote some lines

Picking them out as they flew,

Dropping the sunset in the glass cabinet

So much saddness in the world,

Eclipse and the drop of champagne

In bed at night,

Feathers at the bottom of

Each Dream

Cushions the fall of the miners

Shakespeare stops my thoguhts.

Dress up gold in the back closet

Forgotten twenty in the jacket pocket

Roll, knead, and fold

Fermanetation.

Damn not allowed to say damn

To out spot out spot out spot

You damn friend not a friend sorrrreee

Slings and arrows rest on your couch

Waiting for the wind

Head to my shoulder

Found me in the field

Center of each story

Stretching your lies across the sand.

Scared the Titan from under the bed

Took me so long to kill you

An old friend I dont call

Anymore.

 

Wages of dying is love, what if

You live among the small stuff

Head shrug

Sad art

Right of passage

and running.
