Babel Flute


Arbor eat EM
As Phaeton turns off track

Boa’s squeeze
To heart in chest
When wheels spite trunked legs

Foliage falls
Cradled by air

Displeasure of countenance
Carried profusely in chained fury’s protraction
Whence the Jacobean walls erode in crumbled fear

In trance you sit,
With eyes affixed
Upon a frog exiting a foxhole free

In so doing-
Your thoughts foster new opinion
No longer relocating tangential

The haunted shawl does not flutter
In the gusty hallows of soured vanes
A scene vilified in your mental tales
Replaying Calypso’s failed attempt
No longer do you smell the burning tar

Repaved are your drives
And you’re now free to dream
So
Babel on
Cut short the curtsy
Scissor kick gently
The trim of frowns
You’ve be known to wear

  1. I caught a lot of references tied together yet, sorta of not in this one, if that makes any sense. Liked how you sort of build the piece from the ground up too and then gave a repaving of sorts there at the end.

  2. "Foliage falls

    A beautiful space in a hypnotic piece.
