word crunk



let’s get loose and funky,
let’s lose ourselves to this
furious sky. let’s turn and
kern, get drunk on phrase
and play with poems for
days and days until we
collapse in a hilarious high.
let’s dance ourselves sane,
feed our lungs moon’s lullaby.

    My God, yes, a wonderful foray, terrific wordsmithing; & the voice is clarion, the metaphor intriguing; lovely leading to smiles, hip hip, right on–a poet’s ballad, nearly an anthem. I like the lines /let’s lose ourselves to this furious sky/.
