barbed wire...im thinking...
barbed wire strung across the sky
when i look at them spread out
across the electrical lines and
hitchcock...im thinking...
hitchcock back from the 50s
when i watch them gathering
on the rooftops and when
they fly their crazy loop the loop
in and out of view i am dizzy
1) the color black
absorbs all others
like a black hole or
sadness un-sated
it swallows rainbows
twisting them into knots
of springing black curly
ribbons curled by
scissors in the dark
2) green
is you
all that is nature
unspoiled
and beautiful
3) purple
is passion
4) red
cries like a baby
kick her husbands teeth out
they fell from his mouth like
chiclets on a night like this
she snapped like a dry stick
she struck quick as lightning
a ruthless cobra stretching
the full length of her body
and he never saw it coming
but i did it didnt surprise me
