Kingdom Lament   1 comment

All the contents are here contained
True Trash and Uncles, stained
Hairballs and a bog man of lead–
The Age of Weight is dead

Wilderness tips, into Loch Ness:
Landscapes of Death, Darkness;
Travelling with Barometer–
Exiting with Peter

Where tacos lament their boredom
And Roland spreads his mess,
Atrophy crumbles the Kingdom
Of short-lived Happiness.

  1. This may be the most lyrical of your poems that I’ve seen, Pab. Ya don’t dare ask a poet to explain references, so I’ll just expose myself to ridicule by saying “Exiting with Peter” brought be to Simon’s Denial. But taco boredom? Sure a mahi baja smile might find the rest of the plate tedious. How could one start a conversation with refried beans? Roland’s tardy call for help too. Here’s one for a chapbook! Olé! ~Don.
