too much perfume

...

spring came with her multitudes
like a palm sunday procession
entered town thru the front door
walking down the street
as the soul walks from
father to mother

the bird from the town hall clock went out
to welcome her
fell over winter rags
pouring the time over people

spring
this daughter of time
put on too much perfume
her round breasts are like two strawberries

Time

(and time again)

Circles
we all ride in circles,
pieces of time
gathered by the gravity of our mind
moistened by the grass.

Yesterday is a wandering bird,
tomorrow passes into oblivion
slowly like a cricket into my ear.

I forgot to tell you:
flag the moments not to forget,
flag every stone, every fountain.
They will water the grass
between your toes,

the raw grass between the circles.

Doublespeak

I, the hindsight
have come a long way
(globe-trotting with my Siamese, the second-guesser
who might have gone a bit too far)
we are travel-worn
are there any vacancies?

The janitor
(how peculiar, his name was Janus)
spoke with a forked tongue
“there’s only room for one
but you could double up”

as soon as we plunged
into our truckle bed
with a sinking feeling
we overheard

..am, October

I walk on cotton and cloud
or streets at random
and is nothing to do with autumn
(I’ve been thinking about this)

nights are thick
stretching like a duvet
over thin light
and flashbacks are drills
penetrating the walls of my fortress
(I am not going to talk about this)

...but your name is getting louder
and louder
in my head
and when I finally fall
asleep/ there’s an echo
