Goldfish that stubbornly die | B |
compatability only with distant lovers | C |
flowers but no sweet breads | D |
that wilt to the touch | E |
- | |
Waiting Charcoal grey cat | F |
agreeably on a green linoleum table | G |
with light basking in | H |
a tad playful | G |
paws up | I |
classic boxer stance | J |
but no one notices | K |
Others oblique in their transparency | L |
are unmindful of even the empty closet | M |
and greeting cards that smile hello | N |
- | |
In the dark | O |
this room shimmers below | N |
life raft status | P |
chairs are buoys | Q |
bobbing under waves | R |
of congealed fright | S |
In the morning | T |
the first pigeons | U |
rifle over rooftops | V |
mad flutterings like your eyes | W |
stabbing gables looking curiously | L |
like your heart | X |
A tree bandaged in wood | Y |
manages a feeble handshake | Z |
with sky cajoling winter | A2 |
- | |
But it is the moon | B2 |
large and eerie | L |
a golden earring | T |
mindful of a Chinese panda | C2 |
that plies its trade | D2 |
- | |
Mandarin like a snout | E2 |
so cloud entrenched | F2 |
soft night barely resembles | G2 |
willow and bamboo shoots | H2 |
the universe left to feed her | A2 |
- | |
Nuggets or nougats | H2 |
Should I call you opaque | Z |
use coke bottle glass as a | C2 |
symbol of light headedness transparency | H2 |
Keen vision | I2 |
Could it be more is known of outer space | H2 |
than your mind | J2 |
or that leaves | H2 |
frosted with cold | K2 |
are conducting interviews | H2 |
maliciously within the park fold | K2 |
- | |
Rather and this is so circumspect | L2 |
no one owes anyone | I2 |
in the brisk coinage and trade | D2 |
that breeds human waste | M2 |
- | |
So drivel passes as conversation | I2 |
a handshake for real investment | N2 |
A lot in common the wrong dreams | H2 |
Pretty awareness the desolate pennies | H2 |
stumble from our hands | H2 |
- | |
More substance really | H2 |
in the rustle of a silk dress | H2 |
or static electricity | H2 |
that pops over orb sized breasts | H2 |
Hide and seek | O2 |
peek a boo | P2 |
you don't need me | H2 |
I don't need you | P2 |
