a kafka bug suite: a Kafka character dream

movements I

purple bubbled "p" pops; tis letter number three in "sip your drink, mate..."...
everything slants shrilly once again;
I feel me slipping...falling---
pity, as Purple stands Royal,
like that Creature in your glass...
purple letters create too much noise...
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Movements II : consoling Violets

Limbo'ed Raven-Folk reside in card-hotels;

those who do not fear.

those who do not dare to fear-

they visit -

we kiss them through a tiny violet window in the grove -

candles flicker, blaze the orchard;

our card-hotel sign screams, "Open"

Violet screams when forced to see

these purple letters follow me

I must console my desperate friend -

(I drop her into your glass again)

now breathe....breathe  -

We will pretend our bravest selves

to visit where the Ravens flow in

Violet's Rivers, 

beside those card-hotels who stole her name -

I think she'll dream upon reprieve -

but

Will she dream a new return?

.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intermezzo (in a bug-pub) 

a "bug-pub is a solution for those who cannot stop the Meta morphoses

"you've poured more than a solo query to the (very ugly) bug," declared 
two tense-worthy causers who live in black shoes;
heir stiletto heels in a bunch: (our profound "pretty ponds")
afloat with plasticine piles, protruding beetles
climbing, creeping through thick-fuurred sticky Night.

movements III  

"tormenting Violets"

the kafka bug

he be a bloated - bellied guy -

He rolls round toward her purple door

"I love the sound of the Word,

"Violet," he oozes,

his wirey hair askew

askew in a silent whirring wind

we cannot see

all our worlds askew at once

all our Words cyclone, torment Violets, 

pass, whistling, through each other's rounds -

May we catch them, ball their electric dream hair into sense,

heal Violet's insomnia?

magenta dustballs rise like lies 

afloating round his head as he eats exits.
