Red Sky by Strider Marcus Jones

In Between Hangovers

i forgot to put my image in a photograph.

it was walking with a crowd inside a dream;

humming songs, that once turned on a phonograph

who have left this herd, unseen-

to its shadows of indifference

and coats pulled-to in self defence,

searching for omnipotence-

red sky too intense.

do i stay, or go now?

work it out for me?

what is left to grow now?

to make, and be?

black doors in the distance,

let in specific light,

while opposites of resistance

limbo in twilight-

like wicks without matches,

living in opaque eyed hatches

and wired stone-

drawing heavy bolts and nervous latches

for pawn heroes, in cold dispatches,

now splinters of bone,

not coming home.

The Secret Self by Strider Marcus Jones

In Between Hangovers

go on, fly

in cobolt sky

doing things you can’t say

random anyway-

out of sounds and words

above the hounds and herds.

see beyond

cold concrete stood on clay,

inside absurd wronged

images dismay-

and cast off doubt about

the mask we wear without:

for what is self-

displayed to others on a shelf

to touch and read the label,

or buy and taste with pleasure on feasts table-

while holding back

the secret self, for someone we lack.

A Ten Question Interview With The Artist… Strider Marcus Jones

Why do you write? I like the company of people but prefer solitude. I like to listen to people talk, the way they see it and say it. Poetry is real life actions and their chain of consequences, mat…

Inside Out by Strider Marcus Jones https://inbetweenhangovers.wordpress....

 

the soft scent thought and taste, inside out of you, is more meant face to face, formed out of knowings new. the when and wait of it phase and age can’t brown, set to the fate of it time tick…
