A Very Appropriate Love Poem For Hope Savage


A Very Appropriate Love Poem For Hope Savage
Passage to Dublin 


Oh Dublin
let me open
your doors
and throw my
eyeballs on the floor
let them roll
like apples of Sodom
cut from the
lies of trees
watch them pass by
picking up filth
cause before it can know
itself, divine
it can't trust the world
and the Universe
should know
not to trust them apples
cause if its rotten,
Delicious rottenness
at the core
then the skin's
easy to peel
and there is
always a little
seed waiting
to feel
to dissolve
to sink
into the substance
and grow
shadows on fields

Dublin,
you can renege
you can deny
you can tear down
and build renewal projects so high
but you can't peel the shadows
scorned by the tree
cause the mind is our death
and we sacrificed life
craved thick in the trunk
careful where you turn
and where you run
cause either the edge
or the orient
is just Dead-Sea fruits
and your skin
sure looks ripe.
