An antipoem flips over the magnifying glass you keep waving before life.
“Mood of an ellipse”
Real poetic skill
Tickle in your nose when you pick up a poem from the clutter, mend its wheels, silence the squeaks with oil.
“Blood that trickles from your nose then”
Love as a hop
Some loves crawl, some run fast, some sneak by. My love hops with poor timing and lands in the wrong place.
“Some loves crawl Some run fast Some sneak by”
