a lot of bluster
these days
the noise becomes more electrical
than signal
with live wire blasting a hole
in my heart. not beating.
because the white elephant
has decided
to paint herself
with faces of you
enchanted by the many
possibilities -
routes becomes highways
and a path turns dynamic, dynamite
blasting all that
static whispers
nudging along: they are like little fishes
swimming
in a soon to be gone
reservoir when the sun has
gotten fatigued,
decided to fall
to earth
throwing her arms out, a cry
for a star coming towards
but wait. it is already
turning mellow those green
turning the idealistic into
something poignant
then splashed with skeptic dots
like pimples protruding out of a whale
whose lungs rebelled,
suffering no more a holding of breath -
when
fires dry out even rainforest lush.
go be a fish the sea urchin says
as a pimple gets pricked
by thorny needles
insightful
they dissolve those illusions
of wishful stars
quite damning
and then gills came along,
another purchase at the local
grocery store
where a fish decides to take
a philosophical spin
at the turning
of events -
hateful stars turning ripe fruits
black. and then the hoarders
left their hiding places
finding mellow days swept away
with a white elephant crashing past
golden gates no longer yellow.
