Two Poems by Linda Rosenkrans

The Night Shift

the waiting

that's what i hate most
on these
just another
colorless
tepid body
to comfort
         my dead zone
nights

where is he?
what is he doing?
i'm beginning to tremble
my muscles
they won't stop
popping
buttered corn

it's three o'clock in the morning!

a score

the streets
they turn into
something different
at night
invisible to normal
brilliant to active
people
transforming into
red dragons
crawling around
on all fours

where is he?

begging
trading
offering

fire for
water
salt
for
substance

six o clock in the morning
still not here

never again
i take a sip of beer
unsubstantial relief

a knock at the door
i'm gunna beat his ass!

open the door

a smile
some white
some grain
some dose
for my equis

forget it
i'll whip his ass later
right now i love him

tomorrow
i'll hate him

"hi baby, i've missed you all my life."




Speed Racer

Split
Pretend
Split
Crackle

Jet
Springs
Recoil madness
The colors
They seem so
Vibrant
Today

Yesterday
Black
Overlapped
Browns
Into grey

Today

The lake
It had a
Squiggly sense
But it made sense

Nonsense

The hawks
Hack quicksand
Yielding pitchforks
For opportunistic
Hitchhikers

Beware

Be aware
Squinted eyed
Matchstick heads
Spy
When
You
Are
Not looking

They know you.
