Scott Thomas Outlar- A Poem

Back to Back

Back to Back

I’ve got

all these

feelings coming on

up against

urges as they rise

Turn around

I see the

face of

higher signs

lending focus

uplift to magnify

and all the daylight

expires toward the night

so now I lay me

down to rest awhile

Sweetly comes

a dreamy whisper

ear to tongue

speak it gently

         

The time will surely come

to see this prosper

the work we’ve done

enter fruition

Here’s the peak

raw at the climax

energy that seeps

fire of the organs

A higher sound

buzz with vibrations

shake me down

and then exhaling

…it’s calmer now

red shades blue

tidal waves

a flux in motion

Scott Thomas Outlar lost his mojo for awhile, but damn if he won't get it back at some point. His chapbook "A Black Wave Cometh" will be released in April through Dink Press. More of Scott's writing can be found at 17numa.wordpress.com.
