Ars Poetica
I.
Pretend-
believe narrative
is source of life
better than ours
that I am literary
in lines from genius
skullcracking wit
pouring out weary ears
like Claudius carved me
vessel to prove
II.
Olives crammed into a jar
like brain trying to skull
through metaphor
but switch kitchen light
into flickers and dance
in harsh of oscillating
dark finding home
in endings
where I do not understand
there to be endings.
III.
Glib
and overwrought
like sentiment draining
sick down throat
never write again
or
spin basket haphazard
with lines plucked from beak
of moment woven
on clumsy loom
as prayer
let it all break down
atop your skull
and Begin
never end
Begin
