Frisbee

Frisbee

Aggrieved as listed apart songs cover a few later intentions

coated merciful deity we’re all very hard of hearing emoting

congregations but sorrow pulls the mother out from the pool

Compasses float in soup alpha particles shudder like skirts

flexible flesh the continents drift into scalloped edges crusts

like the pools of ice you wore that left little to the imagination

Human contrasts offer some consolation but pall and wither

soon in rain uneconomical high streets selling old shoes

rags in corners masquerade leave a crumpled bag for life

Phone me something Ariel I can’t remember your name but

surely we had the feeling that we were souls in partial

paradise and knew how to make gravy perhaps I was wrong

Drawing to a beginning now of sheltered elms perpendicular

to the posts you climb? reversed eyes part cardboard flaps

boxes which helped contain a self you had built from Spain

While you were doing other things you couldn’t definitely see

the evolution it took had become underwear in all its varieties

peculiar as each season drew on we ignored all warnings

As the frisbee vanished
