Three Poems
//Larry Blazek
YOU ARE AMAZED
By the tattoos your new girlfriend
Has all over her body
She takes you on a tour
as she removes her clothes
what really startles you
are the cabalistic tattoos
upon her scalp that you see
when she removes her wig
//
ON A WHIRLWIND VISIT
she stuns you with her beauty
dazzles you with her metaphysical rap
disappoints you when she says
she is your spiritual mother
she points out while disrobing
the mother thing is not physical
but it only makes the anguish
of her parting both physical and spiritual
//
THE FRIENDLY WOMAN
Is a front for a gang of thieves
While you recover your tools
from the trunk of her car
at gunpoint
other gang members
surround you
your gun does not have enough shells
to shoot them all so you shoot the leader
with a tiny pistol you have
concealed in your sleeve
not hurting him too badly
but enough to maneuver
to keep them from surrounding you
This is
Larry Blazek
‘s first appearance in
Lockjaw Magazine.
