icecream ashtray by Kelly Jensen1.
orange eclectic sublimity:
eighteen festering swans, craning their necks,
water-logged bodies foreign to oil,
to sweet saccharine mechanics & contraption
the middle west embraces the field sashimi
&
her belle in festive tulle swirls electric
2.
paper cranes
in receding waters,
the movement echos soliloquy
pantomime, syncopated
soft flutter of iridescent chaos
rippling
seven whispers, chalk & powder
dissolve to milky parchment
3.
egg shell evenings in heat:
beneath strung beads of flashbulb shutterings,
sinewy recollection/flattered cognition. our
banister legs modeling penniless singularity,
baking molds in perpetual grasswet somersaults.
gleaning from the scene, black boxed,
scat & back-laced gluttony -- haphazard yield in akimbo.
limestone homes with embers emitted
in addendum distanced, reckless despondence
copious
4.
bated moments
between solipsism & synergy
strappy black heels steadily release
a boisterous energy rhytmatically
enveloping dust-clad linoleum.
Saturday evenings listen
as jesus plays xylophone with knocking knees
hambones clanking irreconcilably
vibrations aching in rear-view mirrors
collapsing & corrugating
in umbrella-like motions
framing the rain
splotched irrigation turned dour
soft unraveling, seams enduring
clatter dirt, soft, redding
she could never craft something so beautiful 01/01/2007 Posted on 03/05/2009 Copyright © 2025 Kelly Jensen
