A POEM FOR THE INSANE
The 2nd afternoon I come
back to the women of Munch.
Models with god over
their shoulders, vampires,
the heads are down and
blood is the water-
color they use to turn on.
The story is not done.
There is one wall
left to walk. Yeah
Afterwards—Nathan
gone, big Eric busted,
Swanson down. It is
right, the Melancholy
on the Beach. I do not
split
I hold on to the demon
tree, while shadows drift
around me. Until at last
there is only left the
Death Chamber. Family Reunion
in it. Rocking chairs and
who is the young man
who sneaks out thru
the black curtain, away
from the bad bed.
Yeah stand now
on the new road, with the
huge mountain on your
right out of the mist
the bridge before me,
the woman waiting
with no mouth, waiting
for me to kiss it on.
I will. I will walk with
my eyes up on you for
ever. We step into
the Kiss, 1897.
The light streams.
Melancholy carries
a red sky and our dreams
are blue boats
no one can bust or
blow out to sea.
W ride them
and Tingel-Tangel
in the afternoon.
