I Am Writing Letters

I am writing letters
from my primary residence
on the Island of Alone

Paper skins
Words kiss
Sentences caress
I like them swollen with myths
Of turbulence and tremors
Of abandonment
And collapsing stars

I love weaving long umbilical poems
that vine their way into your heart

"The human mind is inspired enough when it comes to inventing horrors; it is when it tries to invent a Heaven that it shows itself cloddish. " ~Evelyn Waugh

The ombilical cord of your poem is not tasteful, it drags in the vespasienne Wally.

I haven't hung with a sewer worker to know what they sound like. I have hung with pretentious snobs and they sound like anonymous

Deep in his muttering
Wally let fall some crumbles
Words he whispers to the wall
From his tongue turgid and taut
"I knew the secret!But I forgot"

I dream of going back to my sewer
Soon all the words will fall !
I love it!
I love it!
It falls !
Welcome to the toilet
And the end of it all...
