Slippery Tale in Tercets
Slippery Tale
Slipping self
In time’s sleeve
Allowed shoes to click
walk they must
To earn keep
Or get walking papers
Mind bent on capers
Goaded body resorts to vapors
Spirit edgily situated, tapers
Cup cupped in palms
Mind chanting psalms
Liquid libation calms
Sloped life peaked
Slipped self pithily
Out of time’s sleeve

Wait
abominable
endless~… fickle words
dished- candy
to child, placebo~
eyes no longer
stone, ears have stopped
perking~
taking each moment
for what it’s worth
without freaking~
wait
interminable, abominable, endless
matters no longer, have made my peace~
*painting Open Window by Matisse:)

mirror mirror
Ever reflecting
me to me
untruthfully
my eyes see
… what they
wish to see
can you show
me to me
truthfully
I promise
mirror mirror
not to smash
you angrily

Slippery
Undulating
Iridescent
shimmer
elusive fins
nature’s
wet whimsy
in my hand
how doth
it tremor
quickening
heartbeats
matching
itching
painterly
Freda hands
ready to run
riot in Kahlo

Smithing
Smithing
Racing against clock
Gently pulled close
Word mannequins, frocked
Raised mannequins’ arms
As speeding seconds
Sprinting ahead, alarmed
Undid buttoned metaphors
Deliberately, turning removed
Dresses inside out
Horse pushing carts
Carts pulling horses
Metaphors sparkled in novelty
Words performing thought cartwheels
Quicken interest, each fresh aroma
Delighting word gourmands, individually
Every word is a spine (d) feather attached
To a thought bird spreading its wings and
Somersaulting across poetic skies giddily
