Listening to every heart

those days

there are those days
         when multi-
faceted tenets are
crystaled clarity,
mirrored factions
            and I am
pleased by the
refraction

there are those days
Gumby-spined
all I am missing is
green latitude
          but buoyed
by my friend’s
consistent smile

then there are those
days
when the pull of
taffy’s elasticity
             becomes
stiffer, even in the
hot sun, as
it can only take
so much before the
break,
until…

until it meets the mouth
and dissolves into
the melt

tomorrow
I will
crystallize
again

Boy, I used to love the taste of taffy when I was young, especially on warm summer days when one could just pull and pull and watch it stretch until it became spaghetti thin and then hold it high over the mouth and let it fall in.....this poem put that taste right back in my mouth...after many years. Thanks, Sunshine!!!
