River Line

turn, turn, turn


freshfaces scatter in a harvest breeze
all bevested in dirty pretty things
overdyed, prewhiskered, overplucked
crinoline.

the inevitability of zombies
did I miss the circular?
or did I never, ever comprehend
the vernacular?

in cerulean tights and simplecolored wings
she befriends barflies to pitch sobriety

the emperor of Rome, of taurine proportions
hawks Neapolitans to muscular oceans

a minivan fleet on a painted frieze
an'-why-you dorms, whisperquiet all seas
