Tumult's Kin


tumult’s kin
angry. angry again

soft. soft-peeled
pare of rind

I don’t know what I need to know.
I don’t need to know what I haven’t learned
I know what I don’t know.

Dry-eraser chalks the walls.
bliss.  bliss from a far
and through the windows,
out past the field
daydream drifters flutter still

At ease in the tall grass
giggling.  giggling with glee.
being so close, watching the playful
nature within the day-to-day gestures
of adolescent faeries

Well, the Prompt D'verse provided yesterday got me looking through some of my older Fairy Tale/Folk Story pieces I've written and from that, I had the inspiration to write this one, probably due, in part to some kids down the street just enjoying this unbelievable and extremely rare stretch of weather we've had here.  A string of 75 degree days in a place that doesn't typically get over 50 for another month or so- That, in itself is something resembling a fairy tale setting. Anyhow, thought I'd write another one.

A Lull of Byes


Crumple down,
Crumple down my darling
Crumple down,
Crumple down for me my dear

In single beat
The words grow numb
So long, goodbye,
Cheerio, bye-bye

A sash of lament
A veil of contempt
Mixing, stirring,
Tears of blurring

Crumple down,
Crumple down my darling
Crumple down,
Crumple down for me my dear

In solemnity, a smile faux,
Arrivederci, adios, ciao
So long, conge,
Farewell, adieu

Crumple down,
Crumple down my darling
Crumple down,
Crumple down for me my dear

Update: 4/28/12 Attaching a recording for this song.  Probably butchering it and all, but now that I've figured out how to post audio tracks, I just kind of had to, as I find singing to be so much fun
