5 & 7 & 5 by Anselm Hollo – 1934-2013

§

follow that airplane
of course I’m high   this is
an emergency

§

giant Scots terrier
I thought I saw was known as
Taxicab Mountain

§

brown photo   legend
“serene enjoyment” they suck
pipes bones crumbled back

§

night train whistles   stars
over a nation under
mad temporal czars

§

round lumps of cells grow
up to love porridge   later
become The Supremes

§

lady I lost my
subway token   we must part
it’s faster by air

§

“but it’s our world”
tiny blue hands and green arms
your thought in my room

§

sweet bouzouki sound
another syntax for heads
up to the aether

§

in you the in moon
its rays entwined in my mind’s
hair   hangs down right in

§

viewing the dragon
there they ride slim through my dream
Carpaccio’s pair

§

slow bloom inside you
the mnemonics of loving
incessant chatter

§

far shore Ferris wheel
turning glowing humming   love
in our lit-up heads

§

switch them to sleep now
the flying foxes swarm out
great   it’s flurry time

§

wind rain you and me
went looking for a new house
the grass grows loud
