MICHAEL REHLING

Tongue Kissing a Verb

sly manipulation 
brings life to a verb
conveying emotions
(lighting darker areas)
can opener of perception 
(cruising down  
highways
of desire)
expressed
and relentlessly explored
 
(like a kiss 
at a doorway)
 
stolen
without 
resistance or loss
 
leaving meanings
(like vanquished lips)
 
just where you 
found them

Cloud Flowers

Like fog…
there, but
not
Gone by
Slip stream
Slip by
History…
It was fun,
then it wasn't
Lasse faire:
ruler beyond reason
Logic passed Common Sense
in the right lane
of the country lane to nowhere
Excuse me,
I'm afraid you missed
the last ferry;
Charon doesn't return
for late comers
Have to wait
til he has time to die
Relax
Enjoy
the loving act
vanishing into the
vapid void abyss
Reason passed Logic
on the Autobahn.
Logic could only manage
25 mph.
