greenhorse the shampoo filibustering

shrivelled tulip beckons dawn

in chaplinesque colors of sadistic regret

tremor slightly

chasing the sponge bone by candlelight

sugar the tulip'd embrace my shamrocked eskimo of tears rivets the rooftop to a chandelier with eyebrows of rain droplets and sequinned glances of a thumbnail.

in the folds of swiss silk

life as heartbeat

mother to a shallow noon

to a mushroomed embrace

a tranquil clock of meadowland

languid lipstick on a borrowed finger.
