Carmen Taggart- A Poem

Chubby Little Angel

slide

further along the path

mayhem

envelopes without a notice

mayhem

ensues as we

slip deeper into denial

snooping friends

trumpet

delight

at the pain they discover

chubby little angel

shoots his arrows

no consideration for where they may land

blankets of confusion

sizzling thoughts of eros

coming up unbidden in the middle of the day

swear to keep the thoughts at bay

rolling around in the hay

year after year

something must be done

gin joints

bouquets of arrows

the meat marketers send him out amongst the masses

beguile

the masses

mile upon mile lined up

underneath the sky looking for a

shooting star

to tell them that they are not alone in a

vast universe

where who owns your heart

is what matters to most
