Happy Monkey #2
After a welcome delay to compose my submission for the CBC Poetry dealio, here is O2, the second piece from Tales From The Happy Monkey.
O2
The show goes on
From dusk til dawn
The brand new day come rising
I feel the turn
+ soothe the burn
Of all this realizing
The dream it seems
Has swollen seams
Prolific in the drowning
I went to clear
The misty mirror
+ saw that I was frowning
Some brand new lines
From troubled times
Connected to the lifeline
The pictures
In the storybook
Reflections of a lifetime
Hot + cold
Happy/Sad
The tale that lives between
These legs
That carry moments through
The time that lives between
Seeing things
The red bell rings
The sound of the alarming
I reach down
Below the ground
+ settle the disarming
Sifting and the filter
Of the passion
+ the jive
The prospect
Of the project
Of people all alive
May we run
Around the sun
+ settle on the rising
Soothe the burn
Each in turn
Of all this realizing
Happy Monkey Delay!
I’ve yet to post a follow up to my first piece from Tales From The Happy Monkey, though I’ve not been idle. The reason for the delay is due to putting together the strongest collection of work to submit to this year’s CBC Poetry Prize.
