Two Poems

 

by A. J. Huffman

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swimming in Bubbles

 

 

Silken globes en[d]-

compassing me.  Light

Flowing.  Formless.  Robing

both delicate and dissipating.

Shiny slimy skin.  Less

wonder.  More rubbing.

Cue the wind.

(And the wine.)

This whitened world

of translucent faith sounds[:]

off in silence.

 

Look closer.

See elucivity.

Exploding in myriad

monosyllabic pops!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Flowers of Untimely Differentiation

 

 

The crow withers

in the nestless underbrush.

His compassion

thin.

As a dream

where he is running backwards.

Through the house

of smoked imagination.

Listening.

To the violets

whisper

silent epitaphs.

For the ghosts

of ancient gods.
