1 in tha mornin
Light that bends
Quakes within
Further falling
Destinies calling
Sytematic breakdown
Meaning we make now
Polished fake clown
Never again
Compromising friend
Suffer within
Self indulgent sin
Fortress held tight
Mighty man's might
Foiled refuge
Your own shit to get through

Hey Pancho. You have been doing a brilliant job of posting during National Poetry month. You have some great pieces here. Jimmy wants us to turn our blog into a book. I agree. On 1 in tha morning: my fav turn of phrase is "Sytematic breakdown - Meaning we make now". I am wondering exactly what this poem is about.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what this poem means. I don't think I'm supposed to. If I were to think about what the words evoke in me I'd say it gives me a confused feeling. Not just because I don't understand it, but with phrases like
ReplyDelete"further falling" and "systematic breakdown" it's as if something beyond my control is happening that is larger than me. I don't like the phrase "compromising friend", it's scary. I like that you are not hesitant to post all kinds of poems, from the one about your daughter, to the one about the psilocybin sea. You manage to see art in many different situations.
