Suprasegmental
Suprasegmental
Metalinguistic,
altruistic,
life before man
or mouse.
The gurney is green
and the heart
is unseen
as is partner,
husband
and
spouse.
Phonetic description,
artistic depiction,
a library card
in my hand.
An hautboy, a houseboy,
a low-blow, a life-bouy--
and then I'm washed up
on the sand.
Syntax and morphemes
six-packs and high-beams--
I didn't look left
or look right.
I didn't look right
on that Saturday night:
now
on this green gurney,
the heart
is insight.
