A Beginners Guide to Lexicology
he missed Poetry
hidden under a clean page
watched over by an inkless sword
paper-back wearied by pseudo names
spine bent by glutinous lust,
for stage space and mic light
her coverings the matter of judgment
only booked into conspicuous conditions
to be consumed by hippie revelers
constructed by baboonery
now he misses Poetry
slumbering beneath misfiring synapses
given refuge by limp tongues
lips chapped by winds of strange,
that teared her eyes with ravenous sodomy
for automated sessions and marketed tunes
her joints a calcified argument
appears fallacious in her arthritic corners
subdued by narcissistic schmucks
composed by witlessness
still, he misses her
voyaging to the foot of a mountain
where mermaids lay in wait
with songs of resurrection
to explore caverns that flow to the core of Mother Gaia
within this aura
through this personage
Poetry is missed no more
