Snow


Treasures... Not Yet Sunken

A rampaging rhino runs through
My garden of emotions.
It ain't Eden, there's weeds, thorny bushes
And one teal and black spotted frog.
(You know teal, like the Marlins)

In a medium pond a medium fish wonders
                                                   if he
                                                   is worthy.
The sharks just don't swim
Here anymore.

I dream     of getting tongue
                 rings
                 of fire
                 works closing
                 in.

The frog croaks all night telling me the difference between right
And fun.
Black roses hang from a brass chandelier.
Exit signs swing from the sky.
My emotional garden is growing    wild.
"Deal
with it," Roars the rhino.
"Poker?" I suggest
'Cause I know Rhinos can't bluff for shit.
By noon I have his horn.

The slugs scream.
El sol es mui brillante.
