Austin Dream Pyre

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

Writing vertical Texas stains, feeling horizontal abb pains, I dream a Wake ~ while sleeping a Woke ~ a Knight mare in a Austin Dream Pyre,

Work to be completes sometime, about counter clockwise clockworks reciting backwards Austin double negatives.

Life sometimes builds up these condo crematorium coffin boxes that the more you build up, the more you are let down,

Austin Dream Pyre

!)
Bee gone enlightened Phoenix inflamed Lit flame
Creative Daedalus’ flight, Austin Icarus Texas plight
Skylines begets gentrification tillage pillage in sight
Dost conservatism, begets sky scraper feather frames.

Bequeath the Towers of Babylon developmental dialog
Dost Cain vestments, slays Able’s Austin Liberal HeART
The Temple condo investments, wrest wrecked survival
Greed cremated compost, Woke consumed capitalism
Austin Love Dyed Dearth - Bane Icarus Downy Dollars

2}
America said to build an Austin improbable escape mare Dream
Working class citizens would come support wrought Knight Dreamers
But no one warned artists, about ferocious hostile condo takeovers
Whose ill Will, would Cain implode - exfoliate Austin fruition leftovers.

Whip the Cain, amid dead poets, living live off, dead on sentences
Oh dew die forth width,  hence bee sting stung, naysayer depth terse
Dye, dye thy stains leeching downtrodden pain sunken UniVerse
I to eye to eye, dots the i’s, Master I bellwether thrashed i perverse.

To be, trash thrown about, recluse refrains, burnt out hollow frames
Too Bee horizontal restrained, amid bedsheets knots, to be shorn fame
Future void defiled ~ got to ~ God scream out loud, dye Poet RIP chord
Lord, America Austin bards shout, Amazing Grace vocal ending TAPS cords



3)
Yes Santa, the Grinch did come to Austin, giving US lumps of Cold Condos

Working

Condo buyouts, cutthroat deals. Shoddy construction. Profit eels. One day you're up on your balcony high, next you are crushed, flattened sky.

That's the way it bees, sometimes these days.
