Throwing Rakes at the Sun-poem by Ron Androla

Not specified Halsband - Måne med snirklar Kedja “Hotcoffee or cold tea?” Ann asks. I don't know. I can't decide. I want clarity, focus, new things spinning in a spring roll of manybirds– poems. “Both?”I respond. She grins. I'm confused. I need a singular poem. A plural mirror of life. I grab this poem's throat with a monster lobster hand, shake it, & say “Fuck you, poem, fuck you.” I'm burning half of a century of obstinate poetry. I want to taste a quiet picture, quenched by a selfless cerebral smile. I release all language as trees of words fracture like black branches of snowflakes, fly like swirling Kansas xanax dust. Ann places a glass of iced tea on a cloth coaster on my desk. She kisses the right side of my beard; barbed hooks pull at my taffy-aged brain.
