Wishing words and letters
I could wish upon you...
A few warm words that could wrap around your whole being
squeezing out the dark letters from the folds of your soul....
let them fly fly... fly away from human vocabulary...
away from dirty, wandering vowels and such...
let them cringe and roll into and out like musical notes
and syllables not yet defined...
The S surrounds you like
warm aroma from some godforsaken spa
The L is like the guitarist
who rips open healing wounds with his strings
The U is filled with pot
smoky, hazy, lazy nights on beaded cushions
with a man who croaks like a frog and kisses you windy.
The E takes you to places
where the sun has abandoned
dilapidated dreams and shattered thoughts left trodden
and a dream that smiles at you from under an oyster shell
The H is a lone hippie forever protesting
dragging a plastered heart
and a withered garland of temple flowers to his death.
The Z speaks like a beefy man
too big for any kitchen
runs around making apple pies that nobody would eat or poke...
And I wish upon you the wonders of the rest of the alphabet...
