Poems
by Terry Brinkman

 

 

Blue Brick

 

Skippers Blue Brick Royal Rum

My Moon meets her Sun

Egypt’s plague, Skeletons rising from the sands of time

Ghost candle-stick to light

Lady Chapel Arsenic at midnight

Subsolar simpletons dancing in the Cottonwood Gym

Multiplicity phenomenon be for sun-rise daily

Dark Woman fair Man arithmetic on the desk

Life ran very high up and down the hills

Crystal Palace sitting on the Great Salt Lake

Post-mortality horrifies kids in the Graveyard

Hubbub noisy Alice singing in the shower

Bitter-milk Pie with Hot Coffee

Drink blood from chalice each day at Mass

 

 

 

a line, (a short one)

 

 

Flowered Butterfly            

 

Palm-Sunday priest cry

Snot green sea Palms

Cold Coffee from burnished carafe

Sanguine flowered butterfly landing on the Yellow Tulip

Maladroit silk Fire Fly spinning in my ear

Quaking soul epitaph at the Red Cross

Alma’s giving blood today

Hobbling long in the last paragraph

Faintly scented passerby as I lay giving blood

Low skimming twilight sneaking between the blinds

 No dishonors of the plight

Chalk-Scrawled date on the wall when we can give again

Mid-Moonlight now driving westward home

Blue Dusk Midnight tonight

Blinding zig zag lightening spark

 

 

 

a line, (a short one)

 

 

My Kingdom

 

My Kingdom for a pint of Bud

Banishment breaks the hasp of your brother

Middle of her life she has pasted

Banishment from Pink Articulated Lips

He chucked lewdly

Laughed out loud to free his mind

Silent myth mulberry tree Tire Swing

Progeny the life of love’s absence

New World without poetic justice

Only forward motion has ended

A Grave Diggers epilogue

 

 

 

a black line
