Poetry




“The Heart to Wonder"


the life of a billion liveliness shining,
in the light of a heartfelt of a cerebral gland,
gliding pituitary limefelt life,
in the basketball fever of a haste at work,
cycling out cyclones of gymnasts that can't
touch her madness, her zesty, awesome haste,
the life of gladness in the heart of the doorbell crazy-eight.
the life of magic, wandering, spinning to another bend on the train,
where our love, and peace, and gladness, float life-laden down the lazy stream buoy of upstream.


by Ben Bussewitz



"The Two Chosen"


in the life of the fox-hole den,
where the sunlight reaches and bends,
away in a cloak until next season,
we know our ways! we know their ways!
like sheep on a foggy still-life afternoon,
where the city grazes and puts out oneness of,
a fresh magical citadel on the peak of the trail,
and we bring our handbags and sandals that never fail,
the life cashed in and a motel light on,
a paradise heaven, with the shining bright hearts,
in the way of a newcomers rollicking, frolicking upstream,
a miracle of inertia in lamp-fans floating and vagrantly spinning,
we spill out voices of ancient lullabies of novel melodics,
in the limelight of the field of sonic, cloaked candlelight.
