Three Untitled Poems by Merritt Waldon

 

Three Untitled Poems

#1

The gray smoke rolling off

Cigarette streams in to these 

Lines a poem waiting with a

Permanent marker on the inside

Of her panties 

Reciting John Donne 

While writing roses

In the bush

#2

Considering the ants 

I consider them immensely 

As they don't turn the sweet tea
In to a jug of strange perfume

Or try to pack jug off somewhere

In the darkness

Thank you dow chemicals for

Raid

#3 one for Damien Rucci

Orange high-up in sky

& Lowering every second

Leaves fresh bloomed

Wave ecstatic helloes 

In evening breeze

& No one's seen the moon 

Since Damian Rucci

Came to town
