Someone Had Blundered
Plateful of blue
Hoary lighthouse
Green sand dunes
Moon country
Uninhabited of men
Jacmanna was bright violet
Wall staring white
Desolate sea bird, flounder flounder
The owl and the poker
Children don't forget
Silver water, phantom net
Pope's Nose, sea anemones
Horny pink-lined shell
Neptune's banquet
Watching the waves
China rose abloom, honey bee buzzing
Deep vermilion
Uncovered star
Wandering ship
Milk soup jocundity
Pearl brooch
The arrow-like stillness held their court...
This poem was inspired by the book 'To the Lighthouse' written by Virginia Woolf

Twins
Ultrasound showed two
One daughter named Dove, soft
and gentle and cooing
with affection
The other, named Wing, beating
free and flying strong.
Methodical people named them.
Wing and Dove.
Horrid were the two names,
almost evil.
Dove was a complete bird,
a complete child.
Wing - that was just a portion,
a limb so to speak,
wrenched off, and lost forever.
Could a Wing be born alone?
Fly free and be strong?
No, without it's identical match,
Wing is nothing.
Wing and Dove.
Notice that
Wing is First
Dove is Second.
A Factory Second. Irregular.
But Wing had split, and died.
Found poem was written circa 1996-1998 and is copyright to the Domestic Goblin. Inspired by 'The Perfume' written by Caroline B. Cooney.

Wing and Dove
Venom
The sweet smell of... EVIL
Dry Ice
Dove
Gentle and kind, a whole bird
Wing
Just a portion, wrenched off and lost forever...
The Vanished Twin
Saved by lilac-scented air...
The above found/cut up poem was written circa 2015-2016 and was inspired by the same book.
