three letters holding manificent miniscule powers in patterns
in curves and valleys of penmanship
choking possibility and stepping on the fragile fingers of security
destroying. doubt. meeting me at the end of a pause
waiting to watch the smile slide from the corners
of my gleeful face
making wrinkles around my eyes point down to the dirt between the grass blades.
it burrows under fingernails
pushing aside the sand and paint flecks caught against
tender listening skin.
maybe, perhaps. beauty in uncertainty.
I want to burst through the canvas
and curtains on the sides of the movie screen.
As a doe.
While my shell waits in her cushioned seat, counting the spots
on my back.
A white freckle for every message you didn't answer.
(Every call you promised.)
I let my phone fall into the swallow,
the roiling sea
of warm,
wet,
worn,
maroon velvet mouth,
humming.
Sometimes my words spill out of my mouth and slide through my fingers
like sunscreen-greased children on cheap plastic waterslides.
They're like the overeager and sweat-glistened tourists,
arriving at the gates before the Aspirin assuages throbbing hangovers,
skillets prepare to bastardize mediocre meats,
and mechanical monstrosities groan for the security of oiled gears.
it's fascinating
how the water dapples in the sun as it speeds
polishing
compounded mulch and leaves into liquid scales
of diamond.
how every leaf, a crisp featherweight carcass,
abandons its mother tree
to spiral, plunge toward the
virgin page
i tattoo with my dry pen
wet ink,
landing with a sharp tap,
tagging the sixteenth line,
as if it feels the kinship, brotherhood
it shares with the paper
fellow child of wood.
how when the two mix
fluid and foliage
one tries to choke the other,
jealousy by Movement-arrested,
Rustling-stilled,
of Gurgling-mirror,
One Who Rushes between stained
concrete walls

I'm dusting off the scanner (and the digital camera for the things that are too big)
wish me luck.
