upright tumble

 

holes in giggles on kisses on holes

violation hugs from the sunshine fiends

lightning-gnawed Hell-hoax on wonder-saint X-rays

suck mutilated Bible bones ‘til sinner sod implodes

 

toxic gumdrop grins on a decorative lie

zombie jingles jangled by the wise men dolts

belly-flop a monster hope in dapper-dud dens

where holy hidden huckleberries hop the holey hype

 

swing to the rose on a rosary rope swing

tickets to the skyline hallelujah hootenanny

everlasting overjoyed, undercooked wretches

water-walking spray and washed snow-lily souls

 

fall up to everything on nothing that can fall

all is forgiven by the driven king of all

starts where it ends when it ends where it starts

and the wings shall sprout where the horns once were

 

“and that’s the way it goes!”

Author's Note

sing the last line like Andy Kaufman....makes the whole thing more fun.

I'm with Robin on the 200 mph alliterative word race... And here I was thinking an upright tumble might be... Oh never mind!
I'm reminded of revival church meetings with wholesale salvation offered for a small fee. But I could be mixing the metaphor and subject completely. At least I can never complain that this poet's work does not make me think...ponder...shake my head. Smile.

This one, I understand. I think. Like, I may not understand YOUR intended meaning, but I pull a whole, complete meaning from it, and I love it. From the first line to the last, it's delicious.

Gorgeous work.

this is awsome, brilliant and the flow is a circus at night, with asll
the neon lights, a totally prolific piece.
