The perfect lawn...that season again
_________________________________________

The Perfect Lawn


Far from Boston


I will neuter it.


I will


mow that plot


before the plot thickens,


cut all the intrusive


outside of the box


gay blades-


In my narrow mind


I picture a broad lawn


a perfect rectangle


where I draw the line


with the demarcation of lime--


no random weed


or itinerant seed


will drop


will mix


will be felt


on my flawless


green pelt.

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
