Mine

I crease these little wings

a fold:

I slice it

with my teeth--

big bites

and

a tongue could sing

if it weren't so sang licking:

folding rice and bells of strings:

whispering

"la la...."

I love it when we love our lies--

luscious lower lipped dimes

(mine)

it's MINE

all mine I say:

I crease the featherings

dancing snarling

twining

beast--

As everything

that used to be

leaves shells upon the beach.

They listened to me, after all.

The dots were mean and glistening--

I love it when we love our lies.

Twirling purpled black-pleat skirts,

dancing chinese rounds of rope:

singing

"ah-la-la-a-ah"

and dope

in a twin stocking of white.

slice

releasing endorphins

laughing

in the last of it

sweet upon the bread.,,

Wow..! You have a graceful way with words. Every line, beautiful. Read smoothly without ever losing itself in smooethery. If you know at all what I mean? Anyway I liked it.

Hey Dixie! I hope you're doing well.

Nice to meet you, too, Star.

And thank you both for reading. And um, don't ask...grin.

(I should have entitled this one Aphasia)

*winks to Christopher if he happens to be silently grinning at this one.)

Love to all.
