She
She speaks
All soap and steel
Like fresh rain.
Dusty lips
And
Ashy eyes.
Crisp
Like wet finger snaps.
Icicles inhaled in
Nostrils.
Bloated lungs
Exploding in roars.
Blinking at the Sky
Dancing trees’
Leaves
Applaud the bullying
Breeze.
Whispered through your clothes.
Slow blinking eyes
Freeze framing
The skies.
Cool
Cobalt
Canopies
Fluttered down blankets.
Top
Two chair hideaways
With new shoe swiftness
And
Knotted laces.
