barn of eloquence (1991)

                               
                                 barn of eloquence

clouds don't always chew sunset
faith reminds ingredients to remember as a hand on TV
paints a lavender prayer, the crystal goblet
holding an underground orchestra
you ring with a fork to mourn meanings of
breaking fast)  close the door by the garden
say hello to green ark 7
off to the football planet, hoards of heathen
pigskin the lot of you) & a  garage in miami
waving psalms of blue
          *
once imitated the mystery went fuzzy
without glasses the wine drained
hummingbird ego
lotus impersonation, minors nosing nectar
and staff inflection cup reflections
in murky word ponds
flooded winter slapped beavertail bongo
chug chug of an oil well producing
the sequel, lest it not be
             *
to flow the bravery where no sky
sown by our sun illustrates the cosmos
of vast fields called the barn
of eloquence which warps its last stretchy owl
with the fiddle of goodnight
