Confusion9's Scribblings 1-2

I. counting pebbles

he curdles up like a frog legged jumpsuit
in the summer in the fog at night in winter
and blooms into a butterknife from the cocoon of
a once distraught jumpsuit made of polyester
and 10% cotton fields in the days of a civil war.

i saw him once, behind a barn, counting pebbles
or counting fingers or thinking of frogs
and the way they jump so high
and of butterflies
and the way they become something else
but not a frog.

some instances seem like a never
and others a forever and seemingly forgiving
but never have i seen a frog a jumpsuit
nor a butterfly,
though every morn i wake to an open window
the shutters strewn with silk from forgotten cocoons,
never once have i strained an eye to see
the sky in winter fog's dye.

he's seen the sun at every angle
in every stretch of the imagination
inside out and upside down
from infinite to null in which
case the eyes reject light
and frogs' skins dry and butterflies
rest in a cocoon a jumpsuit
of 90%.
polyester

II. Veins

unto veins among you and me
feeling reason among blood,
i've a share of red wine
intertwine
a vessel of red knotted love.

here's an insiduous idea,
how 'bout a tea party?
in the key of crimson,
in light among grey shades
and wounds still yet unshaken.

i've a sin in each vain attempt
asunder among each limb
upon body among body within
and without reasonable doubt,
within a single vein, a single shout.

features revolve unto resolution
wherein substance dissolves,
a singular image resolves
revealing (i disbelieving)
a singular restitution.
