return of the long dormant drachma

Return of the long dormant drachma

the dream drip continued
in this remodeled puppet show
neither weather nor Mother nature
needed group therapy but I sure did

after I ripped a page from the desk calendar
to reveal my birthday
         welcome
an Egyptian lavatory chair
found in a tomb in Thebes

take off my charm bracelets
give me a blood test
even while
tied off with a salmon colored scarf
the dream drip continues
& Dr. Zhivago stands accused of
political malpractice

pewter grapes
surround my heartbeat
& weeds whisper
return of the long dormant drachma
to Greek shores
