40 Poems From POMEGRANATE FLESH by Strider Marcus Jones

LOVE IS, ALL IS

LOVE IS, ALL IS

love is,

all is-

light and dark,

shade and shadow,

high-low

wide-narrow

crater under rainbow.

tramp or truffle you chance to meet

and take your time to share and eat;

a mythical ark

in-out skylark,

so fluttery butterfly in buddleia stomach

that wakes you up

more muttery in your head-

with jade of jealousy

and truest thread

come concave and convex,

mirrored and mouthed in images and text

with-without key,

but only borrowed

today and tomorrowed

and after that, what will be-

something ethereal

deaths' music can't serial,

alone, then together

in its own weather

sensual and free.
