Alan Inman Poem
see this spot, a pit?
it is the place of my horn
now on the market.

Alan Inman Poem
No reasonable heir
to take the throne
the king went away sad
and by himself (refusing
rhyme)
The store front where
I stood so many years
watching my father work
Now razed to the ground
sold for too cheap
a price.

she was glittery
smiles, dimples, all wrong things
best to let her go.

sweet voice sing sudden
in flashing hopeful verses
soft inspiration.

Alan Inman Poem
Here I sit
in the painful
chair I avoided
so long
waiting for the punishment
denouncement
and judgment
to come to my gums.

there is a story
passed down mouth to eager mouth
ready to retell.

Alan Inman Poem
Stand still
so I can paint you
capture your locks
your lovely energy
through the focused
point of a thin brush
scraping on void
canvas space.

Alan Inman Poem
I am who I am
a thinking mine
who questions
who ponders and probes
and who knows what else
Do not measure
me by the same book
you drop on others'
well-meaning heads.

Alan Inman Poem
I wondered
I wanted
I could not find
I fell victim to a blindness
rare, falling out of the sky
like a sparrow
flapping on the lawn.

Alan Inman Poem
I should never
have elevated you
pretending you were more
than human,
like everyone else,
finding out - but not too late -
the smear on your hands.
