At The Party<\/h1>\n

by Darrell Lindsey<\/p>\n

tequila worm faces dabble in Dali.<\/p>\n

I depart for deeper woods,
\ntake matches
\nto a snoozing clown?<\/p>\n

watch moonbeams become the vortex of a raw swarm.<\/p>\n

I must wait for pesky dawn roulette angels
\nto spin into black pockets,<\/p>\n

try to hold these blurred poses of planet plentiful
\nas the sound of seventh son’s tambourine
\ndrifts from the hysterical sea<\/p>\n

where Van Gogh’s ear is a conch shell.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
