Whirligig Beetle Blues

brown water
before a whirligig beetle’s
divided eyes

a man with barley-blond beard
takes his clothes off

a dip in the river.

“brown water before a whirligig beetle’s divided eyes
a chair’s steel feet howl time for a mini metamorphosis “

This is so good (not just the quotation, of course I mean the whole poem)! It’s so much! And it swirls in a slow motion like a whole world turning.
More of this please!

Ande, I like writing dense poems best. When I try to write minimalistic stuff, I just start to yawn. But some people are really good at writing shorties, but I am not one of them. Thanks a lot.


jb, glad you liked it. Thanks. I have a special liking for the worn.
