Discontinuous Autoharp

                for Rebby Sharp
Oh how you
Undo me raspberry phosphate
Raptors from the rafters call me
Rhapsody in gumball kazoo

Consonantal harmonies adrift
Lazeeboy rafts Richmondesque
Gape odalisque refigures teething
Mortals at last outlined

The farthest South Jasper can imagine
A gay plum bun, a purplish heard
I want your lyric sheets
Here's the $2.45 plus postage

Falling down on the Job
Quietly elevating babies
Hymn Sings amongst the decay
Racoonbats with rabies

Tar buckets filled with guess what
kind of snake like autocthonic scales
Techtonic plates shift under Chris
My friend and fresh met frisker

Too tiny for words much less
song where does poetry belong
Everywhere or in this little box

A gentle Rod spoils no child
Sweet fathers I know and mothering
Blue books and goddard girls slighter
Mercies figure in my mouth

Surprising metallic retail Joan
shows up among the unknown
Uncle in grey turt looks spiff
No spliffs but tamales fille

Bear reads wine and bows for
mercy missed it Jasper says it
Sister then in cat favor
deliberately shys from meaning

Clearly stanzas must stand for
transfers sevens eights or song
I've always been a visitor where's
my absentee ballet?

Quilting is not one of the skills
A longer line might consist of
Catskill association at best Beth
balls the jack and the salty dog rags

No more slavery above the trembling bed
A robin red breast in a cage
While visions of sugar plums dance in our head
Puts all of heaven in a rage

Despite clinging peaches
The south maintains its sticky hold
As that moss dies away
A new Kudzu emerges
In the water this time
