Frank O’Hara by Frank Lima

My heart wears a pair Of shoes that once belonged To a young poet Whose blood was as fresh As water Whose seatbelt was the hair Of beautiful women Who slept in a thousand dreams Made of beds Who had a friend whose heart Was a kite tied to a string Who was eaten by a taxi Lost on a beach of fire My dear friend still comes to me After all these years To die once again and to stare At the holes in my heart

Summer (a love poem) by Frank Lima

[blessedrestlessness]

There are no lights in the theater just soft snow from the balcony that is the little red schoolhouse where all this began.
