Another Attempt at Verse

Psoriasis; Healing

Glaring sun,

Cloudless sky,

Crackled tar-

Crackled skin.

Streaming sweat,

Cooling breeze.

Healing rays for skin,

soothing zephyr for soul.

Intuitive, primal.

Dank armpits...

& below,

masculine remembrance.

Chest & leg hair softly vibrating

Animal sensations.

Shamanistic healing.

The primeval,

on a reclusive metropolitan rooftop-

...one July day.

Some delusions of literary merit.

KITCHEN WINDOW

#1  The city lights through the sparse autumn trees

twinkling like artificial stars,

leading the way to an imperfect man-made Eden.

Imperfect, yet awe inspiring still.

#2  Leaves like burnished gold

floating in the autumn air

against the silver grey of the sky.

#3  Black roofs speckled

with transient gold.

#4  Gutters ragged with shades of autumn

-fallen leaves.

#5  Gold toned marble

shot through with veins of black

and blotches of silver-

the trees from the 3rd. floor kitchen window.
