Poems By Joseph R. Trombatore |
Surgical Incision
Sometimes the knives
become too bright, sharp scissors
of a smile
words, like slashed tires
race beyond
a broken traffic light’s signal
no stop & go
no veil to keep the bees
from swarming my face
no monitors
to keep my pulse from pounding
I have with Oak & Cypress
sewed up the landscape
turned the paths
of brooks for companionship
stitched myself up again
from too many shades of red
to comprehend
I have danced
beneath a ceiling fan’s
scalpels
until my midnights
scar a thunderstorm’s approach
Joseph Trombatore has two Pushcart Prize nominations and one
