"Hot Crazy Buzz"

podgy rook
in thick crepuscule;
cities of the mind, never
now to venture into & to bring home from
yet they haunt me, cities of the mind

as if i had yet been there
shadows, i almost remember them
lovely as sterling
and shrouded dull cobblestones in amethyst
my lonely

places, that are not & will not be
for i have been there
cities of the mind & of the mind, only


Chris Mars.
