reading daddys poetryA Poem by h d e rushinOn reading daddy's poetry there's a certain sweetness here. A policy of nerve shattering; of life like black grass growing. Like the suns light rocking you still. Like that Mississippi witch of optic flutterings that hold your shoulders down, half asleep. He must of meant to stop before the children came fourth. Before the big headed boy. Before the girl with acne sprouting, who made Paul her favorite Beetle. But Poems of a shouting, of a screaming Geechieness as pure as a Joe Bubbles piano top tap. One he titled "the butterflies" yet not the regimented yellow-bulldozing of Dickinson where a zillion un-knived wings waif up into clouds or basically do anything to squeeze into a spinster's a*s. But the butterflies of Virgil who after agriculture was slain, made false lashes out of their uncurled wings. By the wind and rain he may have meant that the storm combs thru you as if your hair was a porcelain sink of hay. And the person who reflects the you of now, not the one secreted along by the silver of mirrors or the bullshit of image-rage. etc. will never be free. Since he died a poor man, I think these were love poems i've been reading while fingering the torn leather cover. So by tree he means that inside of every man there is this grunting person who resembles corn. And by flower he means that outside of every man is a woman who tills the stamen of the gardens around him. And by hostage he means that men are only so after all the giant Allah's of the world pop the pupils of their youth onto the land of foreboding like a giant zit.
