Vernon Frazer- Three Poems

GPS Gives Prophetic Directions

insight modem

     a panoptic squint

    no glue left

  to hint a parallel margin

            no time like the prescient

when questing turns

answers into guests

left behind as a visit

an optic   for the next

   proponent

            eyes                        gathering 

                     soar

     to the      beyond

  

    numbered    renditions

     

  opposing    the view

sight lines inured to vision

the nodal seeks an aural cue

     all coherence lost

  in the meaning

no translation

     needed or offered

   for clarifying

aquatic       questing   for

direction’s        journeys hone

          sentience

Fox Hunting with a Magnate

before the symposium rumors 

concealed stamping privileges to frost 

their coiled serpent 

              to zoning detonator 

unsettled tabloid revivalists

pander flagon wealth passing rainbow  

      portfolio           bibliography 

            enigmas 

     abdominal hurricane artifact 

               thought coiled courtesans 

                        boldly rendered trade-ins 

          to rethink tympani things 

          worth the fluster looming 

          easy gadgets past horse 

cashing molester green 

the parallel representation 

storied cloaks oil index thrillers 

breaking in primordial radar thoraxes 

     walled cans 

     capturing clearance to vineyard riots 

intervene against verbatim vultures 

    sensual headings rustled 

         a costly revamp thickening  

                another disqualification platelet

                          concealed the barbarity index

Taking the Last Ride Out

umbrella menu

bleeds a starch crayon 

before the ravens

carve a swinging tether

for others on showboat

cruises catching an ice

floe before the crouton slows

its timed delivery 

to wagon rains treading west

*

steel marchers relish 

the reeling swelter heat gives

an empty diatribe faucet

when running

tendon stampers cleave hot footage

under the wattage

largely supplied to 

pass a clan barge

baring the hair from its radial shirt

*

a harsh relic renewed

the parched planning

accruing slower wind

before the throttle navigation rained a denture surplus

devoured the cold invention

pure from dead gums

caught the ordinary late-fowl perusing

a caustic hemisphere  

of furnished contraband to breathe

quartets left for dancing 

*

numerals planning 

their craven du jour

elastic in its dwelling

amnestic as the night implies

wetland follies

plan an arching need

to save accords

ointment seizures left unexplained

the last beef shard impaled 

past a nominal resentment

leathers moribund appetite

to emaciate 

their guests 

reply: occlusions paste through winging hunger
