40 Poems From POMEGRANATE FLESH by Strider Marcus Jones

NOTES ON SCRAPS OF SCREEN PAPYRUS - Poem by Strider Marcus Jones

NOTES ON SCRAPS OF SCREEN PAPYRUS

notes on scraps of screen papyrus,

symbol songs

of our belongs-

inspire us

in the coffee smokes of day

where the fire was

in humid heats ash tray-

inside us

far away.

the new consensus

doesn't show

nomads

in the census

of its blow

whose glow glads

the past they left too slow:

and the falling

befalling

where we now need to go-

misfits

the steps

of the facefits

in this trough

of peaks and parapets.

so we want wildly

the wilderness that isnt fear-

cut off,

empty,

smiley,

pallet clear-

the colours changed

so rearranged

and us not here.
