Band

Tactile

clapping on the downbeat

all to know

my audience

tones.

Vintage tonic to use for mix

I can finish making my tools.

Now I can hang them to dry

and bleed out the pig.

A saxophone trill

with fingers more

trigger happy than mine

The pig will live.

Itching

The growth on my arm

is getting bigger

 

a friend suggested

a linguist

who arrived on foot

who asked for tea

who handed me a note inscribed

”ADJECTIVES ARE KEEPING IT ALIVE”

 

So I stopped

talking

altogether.

Swerve

Snow above the tires

and engine struggling

 

swerving to avoid

 

the moose

and whiteout

 

At the same time

at the end of the road

blood flowing

and the will struggling

 

swerving to avoid

the blackout

 

At the same time

at the fork in the road

 

No one saw this

but they all remember

me.

The Sun’s Dinner

The sun is making

it’s dinner.

It is yet not

done through

as everything in the tagine

is moving slowly

from that distance.

Hello!

Philip V. Coombs

Hello all just a quick hello to see how this works.
