Opening the Door, Ch 2

Descent to ashes;  your distant dust eyes call it out.   
As you probe through laid-out morsels,  I try to catch something shining off your glasses.  Some shred of Korea  or some scar in your glance  that would seethe hatred at the facts.   
But there is nothing in your gaze  but the peanuts in your hand.   
What is it?  To grasp life’s last sands  as they worm through your fingers?   
But you don’t seem to grasp at all:  you are content to have them,  and will never think of their eventual flight  from your bones and flesh and lung Jim

Lovesick and PressurizedLOVESICK AND PRESSURIZED   
 
Passing beneath the austere, menacing arc,  trying to conceal the gun I don’t have-   
(Unattended bags can be confiscated and destroyed.)   
Ambling into the winged windpipe,  gazing into the gray wash that is business class-   
(Secure your own mask before assisting others.)   
I wait for you, with the certainty of an auto-pilot.  I search for a cloud with your smile at ten thousand feet.  Because you are freedom from upright locked positions  and you are liberation from an engine’s frustrated hum.   
You are home-  & Lovesick and Pressurized

GatecrasherGATECRASHER   
As the emerald hills of flower-fringed Eden  come rising forth, drawing me out of exile  and into their warm, velvet fields of clover  I begin to accelerate, worried that perhaps  the vision will falter with time   
And as my foot begins, with frightening ease,  to force miles per hour behind the sightline  and as the old scenery blurs and scrolls away  I can feel wind-whipped eyes begin to  pour out brake fluid tears   
In the anticipated impact, I don’t brace myself  I only hope for airbags and a sure safety belt  and with that the final yards of Gatecrasher

Polished WorthBrusque eyebrows gesticulate disaffection  shrugged from a deadpan demeanour,  
bristling with iron-filing stubble.  
Belated cheap aftershave smells defeat  loitering smoke-like, bitter inhalations  
for poorly timed passers by.     
Shabbily suited, shoes scuffed,  giving the impression he’d been dragged  unconscious into place. At his post  to cast a disparaging eye over the public.  And yet, amid this flotsam and jetsam  of a man, one thing demands respect.   
Pinned to a creased lapel, it gleams  under the fluorescents, reflecting  self-importance like a ligh Polished Worth

Big Fish

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 16, 2004, 9:36 PM
I just saw Big Fish, Tim Burton's latest. I liked this movie so much. Maybe it was the conjoining of reality and emotion with fiction and comedy, but it worked together at the end as a moving and beautiful thing. The ending made me cry -- it was bitterweet and affecting and lovely.

In other words, see it if you haven't. I am dissapointed that it didn't get a nomination for Best Picture this year. Billy Crudup also deserved a nod for Best Actor.

I realize this account has been inactive for about three years or so, but came across your "Opening the Door, Ch.1", and I really like it, along with the few other things I have read in your gallery so far. So.... yeah, I realize it's probably pretty dumb to subscribe to an inactive account, but in case you ever come back...?

Hope you're still writing, even if you're not on dA! :hug:

Thank's for the comment :)

I wrote it while listening to a lecture on the style of tragedy in art (an Aristotlean approach), it's based on feelings I had for a woman that no longer talks to me.

Your comment is appreciated :)

It is indeed a poem, I just neglected to correct the layout of the text to fit the anticipated layout of poetry. That's one of the joys about poetry however, no matter the topic or the way it's written it's still poetry :)
