Tales of Polish bday week/month of more shows than sleep, decadence and melty fondue memories of floral wreathlets that don’t slip off your halo. In close decisions equally-worthy of being the teaser-poem— read my bday poem & my 2nd-to-last cabaret-busk poem, as it has vidjo!
170. October 21, 2010 (thurs., after the witching hour still out singing/being bday noisy…)
Half-and-half & nostalgia in mineCreep out the garden gate
To all tomorrow’s fondess
Shit, someone got the flower girlDrunk, wreathlet askew in all these photos
Fear is not endearing, a little wine blush
On the knees, dandelion smileThe cork-pop and laughter over the tear
-jerker toast, something shiny crunching underfoot
While dyed-to-match shoes rub identicalBlisters on the foxes fleeing the dance floor
That scene where “gin-pagne”
And knock-you-on-your-ass applejackHave happened— be glad the parties
You leave still exhale aftershave and warm
Frivolity, indoor parodies of drum circlesA kind of goosing, unlacing flirting
That sparky new pair in the coat closet
That old story smoking on the front stoopThrow some stray petals (or lime wedges)
Over your left shoulder for luck
Tomorrow there won’t be empty milk
Bottles waiting outside
poem in part inspired by the wonderful bitty floral wreath-let dangling ribbons my dear photog friend Justin Moore gifted me. pix of me being a drunk flower girl/flapperlet (it stays on even crooked) i’m sure will turn up. (past, present, future) et voila:
