Silent Drama

This was written both as a response to this week’s Simply Snickers prompt (write a poem with the words secret and silent) and as a response to the following excerpt from Monday’s post on Lutheran Surrealism:

“Even more boring: I like to watch plants grow, and to see if I can catch them at it. Hard to make a drama out of such a thing.”

So…this is my attempt to make a drama out of such a thing. And a pantoum to boot. Enjoy.

When I Watch You

This was written for the new Read Write Poem Prompt this week - to write a poem using “when I watch you”, the first line of Lucille Clifton’s poem, “miss rosie”. I shut my eyes as the prompt instructed…and I ended up getting inside the head of Graham Dalton from the film “Sex, Lies, and Videotape”. Enjoy.

Questions

Hidden in the
Blackness
And spying on the
Madness?

Eye Language

I can speak with my eyes,
Tell whole stories with glances
Or looks
That can hook
When eye-windows don’t face the
Pages of a book.
Could I write the books
Of love, life, passion, and hate?
Maybe my eyes hold my fate.

The Watcher

I watch life through hourglass eyes
As times drips down, eluding the wise;
Life moves past me, a dance of compromise
And I watch who loves, who lives, and who dies.
