A Better Distraction in Feeling
Poem
I hear the sound of knuckles cracking everywhere
Pretty pleases in the air
Red light shadows everywhere sparkling through my window
But the alien left the room long before I moved here
Crystal chandeliers mark the occasion
A sonnet and a broom sweeping purple hearts to make bouquets
Crumpled paper masked parade
Justice will be sure and swift
Fortuitous arrows rising slightly
Stomp comes a giant foot
No stool to mark upon but a common thump to pirouette from
How I love you certain smile
I'll walk the miles to see you
Stretch across the ocean blue
Or grow wings from hair, me and my brood
I feel so close to you
See me curl my finger
This look for you
Come hither never far from mind
Consume me not
My very pride
Only to you
