performance poetry
Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.
Solipse of the Heart
Crashing down The rabbit hole Roots tear at Strawberry hair Splash down in the bluefin sky I backstroke Past a troupe of fried Lobsters spitting butter in My pastel eye As I dance the jive Dodo’s smudge lines In the rainbow sand So I race the tide even as Fear for my sanity takes root All grow restless as the Music suddenly mutes Shimmying down Twisting purple vines I watched the crowd pass Going nowhere fast Jogging in place At my own glacial pace None had family or A discernible past We all wonder aimlessly Searching our hearts For freshly baked mushroom tarts Dreaming up new havens To escape the buzzing Ts We roll around fretfully Like hedgehogs seizing On a crimson-painted lawn
