a december poem

the snow falls ever-ever so slowly
the bugs crawl away-always so lowly
the world shifts like a painting on the wall
as the snow slows slowing down the fall

oh, romeo, romeo, rhetorical call
a woman's somewhere, "where art thou"
tamborine julie at the cat corner store
sit with the afternoon, wait waiting some more

the clouds slide ride-ride the sky
the sun giggles, a ghost, hide-hide nearby
the world dangles like props propped on the stage
as the clouds drop dropping from age

oh, juliet, juliet, jack of all trades
a somewhere man's hand is holding your spade
piano key "romie" waiting at your hotel room
sinking the thinking of seeing you soon

the snow floats soaks the ice-cream dreaming
the bugs fuck and fly away scheming
the world falls like a puzzle apart
as the snow shows showing the coldness of heart

the snow slows
slowing the heart
