Poem Inspired by 4 Photographs

Lipstick on my Window

The Waltz of the Nameless

the rouge line outlines the white

white, white clouds in the photograph. what is

the material? what is the inspiration?

each wavy line sneering, laughing, frown-

ing to its own music. the narrow rustic pipes

claw their way up the brick wall proving

once again that that which is

stagnant is impossible. motion

in every red stroke, every contour

until you realize, in a series of four

each vivid photograph

dances the diabolical tango, commemorating

the languishing effects of hyper-stimulation

& instead, instead, instead,

focusing like a war rifle

on the steady decline of avidness.
