Bees and Iridescent Bubbles Infiltrate Still-Life Traditions in Marc Dennis’ Paintings

WITHOUT REPRIEVE

There is no relief,

Dangling - toothless

Pitbull

Lock jaw, seems

Like,

Frail floorboards

In the attic,

Bora, crumbling

Tumble in,

The scuff marks

Signal entry,

Finishing, begining

No relief

Again and again.

KILLING KRYSTAL

You were

Like a fly,

Wasting precious

Energy,

Racing,

Hitting every surface,

Bouncing back

Before the looming

End.

Angelic,

Distant voices

Chattered in between

And over

Music,

Close to friends,

But they

Just couldn't hear it.

You were fledgling

To the early navy stares,

To the imitation lightning,

Thunder

Winding all the senses

Up

And

Over earth.

Above the paving,

Where the morning

Trucks delivered

And the whining

Sleepy children

Was only

The yelling

Of cats,

You found yourself,

Back against

The star

Reflecting steps.

The propel,

Like slitting glass,

Cut through

Hidden lips

And it embossed

The ones

Covered

To be

Silenced.

Alone,

But not lonely,

You were

Outside

Of yourself,

Walked home

By your spirits.

Sometimes,

I see those friends

Who

Where not there,

Who never cared,

And

They never bled.

A DEAR IN HEADLIGHTS

I don't like

What my mind is thinking.

Hands coming to me,

Cupped,

Are icy -

Dressed in coffee,

Dressed unlike individuality,

Dressed unlike my own

Company.

You remind me

Of each tunnel

Exhalting

My melody

Though, I can see

There is

No comfort

Leaving you

For me.

I will be brave.

Delicate,

Is every word

I bricks and lead

Say

And poignant

Is every

Careless move

You make.

I am in

Headlights

The snow seeping

Headlights

Headlights

Conjuring Angelfish

[a2kdavis-ss]

THE PERFORMER

Second thought,

Close your eyes,

Search the ocean

Currents, the sky

For more than

Blank performance,

Shuttles on the

Pathways,

Leaving

You a minute.

For the moment,

Night dramatises

Frolicking children

Just before bed

And how

They hurriedly hide.

A rhythmic fumbling

That you wonder

Over time,

Being present,

Voiding any living

Focused, present

As the tides

Performing

Something, anything

That makes all the sense.

PREMONITION

Essence,

Sparrow delicate

Fluttering,

Before the day

You shut it out:

Greenery interpreting

Mountains on the panes

Zero gravity

For building up

The earth,

For towing

Others

Down,

For getting

To the summit.

Lonely elephant

Wandering the hollow

Now,

Little planes and plastic trucks

Reminding of

The newly found

Vocabulary,

Bubbling giggles,

Innocence.

The loss of oxygen,

Downing all the snippets,

Like the harmony

Of stepping on the sharpened

Shoreline stones

And all the salt upon

The cuts

Immersing in the waves.

BARS

I cannot do time,

The kind that you take

Dancing 'round

My curious head.

The time you give,

One second,

Steals

One year,

It seems,

Culminating

The rivers,

Outstretched

Like fingers,

Wondering the veins.

You should prepare

For the flood

That is

Imminent.

BATTLE CAP

Ruby eyed

In the latest battle.

Shrapnel, bullet shells

Falling the cap,

Down at the boots.

Still able, stable,

Still following through.

Another wayward attitude

Against the war 1 soldier

battle suit -

Thinking, thinking

You won. You didn't.

“SERENITY After the said, the brollies fold away and the roof begins its high noon jest, a gull trails off a voice that says where I am. It is calm and happy, I say nothing, because of this. © A2Kdavis 2013”

“The thing with silence is, it is golden. But, it is rather like a toddler. Unless he or she is sleeping, or they are right there in plain sight, there’s a high likelihood that there is some sort of mischief going on.”

MAKING SILENCE

Beetle tall -

No defences

No excuse

Breaking serenity

For the trade

For a silent truce

That I can embrace.

Seconds switch -

Happiness

To sorrow

Wingless -

Just like everyone is

In this grub dug burrow.

Some crooked king,

Being for the shadow

Down near the foot

For all of this existence

Where 27 years

Is only just

A minute.

DREAM DIVE

Degrade

The dearest

By your cave,

By the love

Of insanity,

Important gain.

Useless,

Yet usefully

Underway,

Secretly

Diving

Like a fluffy

Killer wave.

I have been

But a dream.

A reoccuring

Nightmare -

In some glimpses.

Recollection,

A savior,

Not nearly -

But overly.

Fantastic.

I will be

But a drowning

memory.

PIECE

The mere

Composition is

A tragedy.

Alone,

Comic for the party.

Tell'em like

A warrior,

Them versus clarity.

Time

Like a flooding flush -

Down

Down

Down

The heart does

Sink.

EXITER

There is a wish

That everyone

Who cared about you,

Didn't

And everyone

You cared about,

You didn't.

Gone,

Is just a minute,

In the unchartered

Reel.

Someone stole

The eyes, the smile.

Staring forward

And back,

It wasn't you,

It wasn't me,

Time reveals.
