Poem a day for 4 April 2014: sideshow

sideshow

…now let me draw it across to reveal…

…no, wait,

wait for my furious bones to reheat
wait for impossible dreams to unfold

wait for my thoughts of the dead to repose
wait for the weft of my skin to rethread

wait for the sun to scorch my staunch core
wait for the moon to face and embrace me

wait for my misplaced rage to be laced
with a chocolate kind of silky peace

    Ha ha. Nice concealment of the subject until the last line. Was it the Milk Tray ad?

    Ummm dunno Mike, no chocolate ad was on my mind when I came up with this. I just liked the sound of the words. I’m not even sure what it’s about, exactly!
