Three Poems by Doug Draime

               
                            Chant Twice On Any Moonlit River


It was the same as was it was the same the
Same as was it was the same as was is it
It was it was it was it is the it is it is the same
The thing it is it was it is it was it is it is it same
As it

A was there inside a was there inside the inside
Inside inside inside it was inside the same it is it
And it was there inside inside a was it is it too
There inside a was inside it it was as a same as
A same was
It was the same as was it was the same the
Same as was it was the same as was is it
It was it was it was it is the it is it is the same
The thing it is it was it is it was it is it is it same
As it

A was there inside a was there inside the inside
Inside inside inside it was inside the same it is it
And it was there inside inside a was it is it too
There inside a was inside it it was as a same as
A same was

It was the same as was it was the same the
Same as was it was the same as was is it
It was it was it was it is the it is it is the same
The thing it is it was it is it was it is it is it same
As it

A was there inside a was there inside the inside
Inside inside inside it was inside the same it is it
And it was there inside inside a was it is it too
There inside a was inside it it was as a same as
A same was

fang he was

unsettled working

as a storm storming

(steel sleet
&
quick murders)

polluting all his

wars where it or

nothing was

behind

nothing

not even

fang who (with 2 black eyes)

never

had a
way with wars
when
he
died

fang i’m
sure
it was

wars with him

always unsettled

polluting
& wonder-
ing

why
