Poetry the way it is

[Snafu in the Void]

Beers in the refrigerator
A worried look from my cat
We groom ourselves in tandem
Me, the hot oil dripping from my nose
Him, the invisible fleas in his shiny fur

One more
One more
One more
One more
One more

This thunder in my cup
My parched innards
The silent mirror in the bathroom
A large automatic gun
Some footsteps behind you
One lonely seat in the forest
Your forewarned crying
The singing of dancing fools
An incomplete darkness ahead of you
And one silly clown to make you laugh

"Black out"
Two simple words with a very long pause between them
With too much before
And not enough after

 

[Mysterier]

Fantastic.

This thunder in my cup
My parched innards
The silent mirror in the bathroom
A large automatic gun
Some footsteps behind you
One lonely seat in the forest
Your forewarned crying
The singing of dancing fools
An incomplete darkness ahead of you
