EASTWOOD & BEAR POPS

BEAR POP

like we might

on hikes

or holiday

a bear sits 

by the lake

EASTWOOD POP

tall clint

keeps his elbows in

& lets

his big hands hang

 

BAROQUE DAYS

a filigree personality 

& paper chain conscience

 

kitchen safe space

stairwell limbo

& the bottle shop dreamer

is orating

prose like rusty water

propped steaming

on a rococo pike railhead

now concrete cloud banks

& white brutalist sun . . .

baroque days - a mobius scarf

hang tight

hang five

hang it all

FREAK SANS BACKUP

he was
unsure
of ALL of it

& his words came out
like a cautious
almost prefab offering

not boilerplate but going that way

& he cut them loose
let them hang
sans backup

~

& due to his overthink
& the way things are
their reception remained unclear

way after the event

& NO ONE
he was sure
worried like he did
