lizard :

 

nobody

understands

anybody

ever

 

that is the god's damnedest truth

that is the fucking god damnedest

of all truths. live it. learn it. done.

 

 

i was in the meadow

everything was green

movement all around

above me

in the clouds

everything

alive

 

everything

alive and every color burning

 

everything

consumes

everything

 

always

 

it is the

i

me

problem again

 

rearing up

its ugly

gnarled

pocked

bird

skeleton face

 

decayed from all the

years of endless and

endless and endless

and endless diatribe

from one old man's mouth

to the next sitting on the

top of a mountain and

when you make it to

the top where the old

man is sitting he tells

you to get down.

 

and the bird says

 

MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK!

 

it is the

queen birdy bird

 

and she is carrying a sign

and the sign says

 

no turding

 

and she is wearing a

golden crown with jewels

 

she is magnificent!

 

she is glorious!

 

 

________________

 

 

for five minutes

once per year

the queen birdy bird

becomes fertile

 

and alights on the mountain top

and spreads her beautiful wings

 

and shrieks...

 

MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK!

 

 

but alas

poor queen

 

no lover will come

for

she

 

is the only

queen birdy bird

in the world

 

MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK!

 

it is the sound of loneliness

 

 

MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK!

 

it is a sad cry

 

MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK! MYYANNNK!

 

nobody is coming for you

my sweet

 

you are a

lone

 

five minutes of

memories

 

and then

you are gone

 

my darling

sweet

queen birdy bird
