Descant
all my stars   hang upside down
the slim legs  of travelers
merged bloods   the hemispheres
of blight     of sunlight
poured out  smooth 
as pound cake batter in the pan
what thinking   calls this
the little cat    all ginger   all
need
warming to the milk step
purring for the nonsense   of his life
 
warming to the milk step
ReplyDeletepurring for the nonsense
... lines for a song methinks
I hear a uke being lifted. get onto it Boss.
DeleteThose stars hanging upside down - what a beautiful image. Great poem Kerri :)
