Mano a Mano


Original digital surreal art: “Mano a Mano” by: rob kistner © 9/18/23

 
T he broken shutter
swung ungainly askew
in a sad sag

thumping ugly
with an awkward thunkity-thunk

walloping
with a wind-driven wack-bang
and troubling
thud-thud bothersome bumping

but the buzz-buzzing
the fucking buzz-buzzing
that was driving me mad

before that bastard could buzz again…

Smash!

    1. Perhaps someday you will share brother. Been listening to Klergy music for several years. it has a certsin draw for me. Glad you enjoyed them. Klergy is the vision of Danny Burke. Created in the north woods of Minnesota, LA, and Nashville, Klergy collaborates with a range of incredible voices. The work with Valerie Broussard is quite good. I also thought the tongue-in-cheek nature of the title to this particular Klergy tune played well with my poem here, and the digital art piece I created my friend.

  1. It took me four readings to see the last word! Red against black is hellish difficult to read.
    Great alignment of noisy words!
