Pallor: Three Parts




Our Democracy

The theme of question is to outwit,
While the tail of position curling behind,
“What is your plan?” Misty eyes grind—
Indolence self-vindicating—guffawing fit.

The mildewed old sensitivity still reigns
Despite litany of self-praises, our goodness—
The bestowed people’s rights to meekness.
Criticism-Resistance-phobia in form benign.

Our Common Enemy

“How much you could say against yonder?”
The said ambiguous enemy, the tool of time
When just to silence off a voice on a dime—
One aimed inwards or against one’s dearer.

Yes, oh, shouldn’t I ask myself,
“How much it’s intended to hurl there
Rather than mouthing grandiloquence
And, so disgustingly, siding aloof?”

My Fate

Squishy golden autumn leaves matted out before me—
The fallen gold and the hanging gold illumine a sepia splendor,
In which I deceive myself the time is healing, always lovely;
The effect is of the overcast sky and shaded vibes. They glisten.

As so saddening a close friend estranging away
As my own fellow fall narrower; as odd conceit
Keeps us apart as my own odyssey, the one I need,
Numbs me from being able to figure out myself—the oddity, my fate.

Now my own side pops up,
A voice carrying such tender venom,
And wants me to galvanize into gyrating so—
“Learn farming by looking at your neighbor!”

If I do so,
Then how we will look and fall?
Should I do so?
