Ars Poetica

I.
Pretend- 

believe narrative 
is source of life
better than ours 

that I am literary 

in lines from genius 
skullcracking wit 
pouring out weary ears 

like Claudius carved me
vessel to prove 

II.
Olives crammed into a jar 
like brain trying to skull 
through metaphor 

but switch kitchen light 
into flickers and dance

in harsh of oscillating 
dark finding home

in endings 
where I do not understand 
there to be endings.  

III. 
Glib 
and overwrought

like sentiment draining 
sick down throat 

never write again 

or 
spin basket haphazard 
with lines plucked from beak 
of moment woven
on clumsy loom 

as prayer
let it all break down 
atop your skull 

and Begin 

never end 
Begin
