Alonejolie
Alone, still jolie...
Because he
Could and
Did enjoy you.
Even if you saw nil and yet
From his strong
Grave, he stands
Heroic, wanted, and watching
If not unsure, he waits, washed up in tinsel town lurching to
January and the daily, cold rain.
Killing the shivering aged,
Laughing to mute the terror,
Murmuring to snap-stop the laughter.
No, nay, never,
O, it's no nay never, no never, no more.
Please pass the tear bottles, mine eyes delighted
Quaintness, askewing our
Reluctant rabble,
Swishing serpentine, our five minutes famous.
Tomorrow's displacements, and plain
Untimely discourse undaunted,
Vaults simpleton sayings into
What our mind unravels, into noble
Xenophonic gases, into how I know and how
You show, every one last
Zenith, leaves every one last queen, yet
Alone still jeweled.
