Electing Germs

You the wine juggler
Hiding your ladies to lamp
Velveting their veins
Pouring pitchers of dismay

The comfortable change
Where color no longer congregates
Indulging the appropriate plumed air

The pardons that inherit
Fluffy clouds with emblems
Convincing cattle water without words
Weary words of public silence

Comfortless as salt
Guarding wallets and bank accounts
Guiding the thirsty dearest of prides

This poem lives
It lives where feet grow together
With toes well enough to diagnose
Permanently bulging foreheads to think with heart

  1. Mari, your words should be sent to ALL politicians throughout the world…if they would only spend ONE DAY in the life of someone who has nothing–maybe their minds would open up to their greed…many people suffer because of one person’s greed
