Fraudulent Friendship

Fraudulent friendship with the faithful
Ghosts shadow boxing in the high seas
Truncates the rudders and the cargoes
Like the cloud bedwetting the dry duck
The sun stands on the dormant horizon
Upon ethos from the deafening echoes
Surfing in the unwrapped verbal waves
Beeping, weeping, bleeding, exploding
Dawn dooms and glooms for life booms
Fanning ember across sea page borders
Therein Decembers underrate Januaries
Like stars backpacking the moonlighters
SLOWLY
Slowly and slowly and slowly
Birds ejected in the sky plains
With quip feathers of the ray
Lying low down on the dunes
Slowly and slowly and slowly
Crabs hawked the odd pupils
With their band wagons held
Firmly to their breast baskets
Slowly and slowly and slowly
Darkness cast down its gown
Like waves wooing the shore
For their offspring to size dip
Slowly and slowly and slowly
Dreams crawled like serpents
And swallowed up live wares
In the cargoes of hot warfare
Slowly and slowly and slowly
The moon stole out of the ark
Like the dews melting off side
To underscore gray grassroots
