Keyboard class is accompanied by the crow
Edgar Allen
No Ā
Mopped the floor two weeks back before hitting a mental plateau
Now a canopy of dust, hair cyclones and crumbs aglow
Circled streaks on the tabletop; compendious lave
Alabaster candle wax drips half-shaved
Off with a butter knife during a hangover from champagneĀ
A fogged brain again again againĀ
Drops of syrups, soups and thyme sprigs
Browned and dried quick
A Pollock under the table
Depicts a society, mentally
UnStAbLe
Last weekās salmon package and stems of five figs
On the countertop
An ammonia cloud, fatal
It gets murky at the bottom of the circle of fifths
The ceiling paint parts, riftsĀ
Upstairs my keyboard harmonics vomits
Steps on the old wooden floor tremble a mental abyss
Creaks and squeaksĀ
From outside the crow peers in
Circled streaksĀ
Stain the windows and antiques
Compendious lave
The crow creeps
