selection of unrelated 5 lined poems 3.0

I am here
unending form
like ballet
without the grace
and pink

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

never your mother
slack legged
in spread delight
the familial disease
every generation

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

locked
in viral circulation
thin hollowed metal
extracts
all the red

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hours old
swift arson
her melted gray matter
dissolves
hopeless opinions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the days
of nightgowns
and
bunny slippers
never existed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I crumple up
love
and journal pages
for you
to the wastebasket

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

refusal
love
that never was
lingers
just past the blade
