Seven Poems
Window
So, what am i try'n' to do,
Be in your window too?
It isn't like it's yesterday
Where all our memories play.
What's a thing but a moment's smoke ring?
Never liked being true,
Just being with you.
Artemis
Can I haunt your haunt?
Perfect your perfect?
Make your make?
Hunt your hunt?
Mexico
Oh, I could go to Mexico
And be another lynch,
My neck in a loop,
Wrenched, cinched, pinched!
Or, I could go to Mexico,
And, ohhhhhhhhh, Mexico!
Flowers
I'll leave you these flowers,
Stranger,
I couldn't find the ones I was looking for.
Motorcycle
Well,
I'm not your motorcycle,
Too loud
To hear.
Milky Way
Have you found a river,
A forest stream
In your dreams?
One can't see the Milky Way from Town.
Glum
Ishmael looked glum.
Of late, too many long thoughts.
"So, Poe, how do we find
Two Goblets identical
To pour the potion
To awaken Petra?"
Kannon stood behind the seated crew
Gathered around Ishmael and Poe
On the Black Deck of Black Ship Liz.
"No two things alike, you ask?"
Asked Poe.
"Truly, there is truth." Poe continued.
Kannon smiled,
And joined her crew seated.
Poe can be long winded,
And she felt a breeze.
Black Ship Liz stirred,
The Black Sails ruffled,
"A long journey ahead."
Said Ishmael,
And sat down on the Black Deck.

Notes: The Black Deck Tales have a pace all of their own...this to say, sometimes it seems best to wait, rather than pry...this bit, Glum, from months back, where the story is at present...much of the current tale, Two Goblets, is from the Inca penchant for making presentation goblets in pairs...one couldn't give, or even have, just one...maybe I can find this...brb...well, wait, I'm on the tablet...the Homeridae, my grouping of favorite authors, under the Dodona oaks, I lightly try to keep in character, as with all, and I say lightly as I dont want to skew them...Poe's special...and putting words in his mouth a caution...so looked for some support, here noted...he wrote a prose poem called Eureka, which only nowabout have I begun to read, though found it months back when I added Glum, and found the wiki take quote following...Eureka has a frame, a letter found in a bottle, from the year, if I have this right, 2800...Poe is on my suspect list of time travelers!...and Poe looks to have devised his own Homeridae in humorous fashion...Eureka a study for sometimes...

The Poetic Principle: Poe on Truth, Love, Reason, and the Human Impulse for Beauty – Brain Pickings
https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/01/28/edgar-allan-poe-poetic-principle/
I would define, in brief, the Poetry of words as The Rhythmical Creation of Beauty. Its sole arbiter is Taste. With the Intellect or with the Conscience, it has only collateral relations. Unless incidentally, it has no concern whatever either with Duty or with Truth.

Eureka: A Prose Poem - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka:_A_Prose_Poem
His attempts at discovering the truth also follow his own tradition of "ratiocination", a term used in his detective fiction tales. Poe's suggestion that the soul continues to thrive even after death also parallels with works in which characters reappear from beyond the grave such as "Ligeia". The essay is oddly transcendental, considering Poe's disdain for that movement. He considered it his greatest work and claimed it was more important than the discovery of gravity.

Dualism in Andean Art | Essay | Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/dual/hd_dual.htm
Finally, in the Inca empire (1438–1532) and in later times, artists always produced wooden beakers (keros) in pairs. Keros were kept and used in pairs to drink chicha, the sacred corn beer (
1994.35.15,.16). Pairs of identical “brother keros” symbolized the dual organization of the Inca sociopolitical system in which each hierarchical level included two complementary moieties. Subtly or clearly expressed in art, opposite doubles and mirror images reflect the ancient heritage of symbolic dualism in the ideologies, world visions, and social structures of Andean people.
