menstrual marching bands

communication, my one-time friend
the texts and sources of ha’p’orth
descriptions of elaborate feelings
cycling with sounds of thoughts
like menstrual marching bands
so alone, so accompanied by waves
of required endorsement of parted
soldier weddings

insula bravery now tided
entitled, the consulting king
barking canines, groove channels
here representations
to home-bound recantations

sang of hallelujah
in the shower, blood down our legs
this side is better
not betrothed to any incisor melody
but my own angelic-glowing abstinence

soon she will arrive
told of by the dawn
by Homer and Groucho Marx
like hammers wasting away
on nails pinning the present moment
like doctors in recess
she does not cease from breathing alimony
told favors, told lies, told forever spies
incendiarism hallways, sold reignition
to the lovely daylight
and the lady of drowned reprisals
