Tenderly #64
A blueberry bird, an enamel clarity, a simple orange
A whirlpool
The autistic pushes away: a constance, an elbow
Another autistic yells, ³I am surrounded by incompetents!²
"Together apart" not a thought, a transparency:
What one sees between opaque and a triple quill, Peacock hat
One autistic writes a list. It blows away. Another autistic says,
³Letıs follow it. Letıs catch it.² The first autistic says, ³No, I cannot.
Itıs not on the list.²
The portable bouquet minus one, the absent hand
A three cornered delight, a fourth, the red poppy, a white meadow
A comma is not a pause. Orderly is not. A cat limps forward in spite
A grumpy fence narrows, falls; a small squared, black thread
lattice endures:
The wet, green cut grass bent perpendicular by the seated
A charmed pink layer of fat ripples, the painter paints
The eye lifts horizontal. Who beat the hell out of the batter?
Who stole the cookies? Who prefer the rose enamel finish?
The volume, the empty, solitary, over the white Formica counter
Who threw it up in the air, the empty, o so empty, mother jar?
