14 Apr: "First Thing" by Bill Berkson

First Thing

Related Poem Content Details

Drown on all fours
Pennies from a box flood the frump market
Blasts of nacre, triage under weather’s speckled pool

The idée fixe never happens yet can’t be ignored
Still the moon is half full?
Speak for yourself with your hands up

The search is on
Search and destroy, if you will
Elimination starting with a lit fuse

Vacuumed anon
Your pleasure is the lee shore
Thunder smites the tundra’s paw

This should be memorable
Legs whited out
The runners advance

  1. Visual, I really like the image I create about these legsless runners.

    On the other hand I cannot connect the stanzas and ideas here. Is that the search and destroy? Am I eliminating the poem and smiting it?
