milky saucer
cat’s got
your ebbing tongue
*
again…
the pond turns silver
*
rear view mirror
leaving town
at the lights
*
half a palace you bragged
our names in glyph
*
looking around
to ensure no one sees -
naked ladies

the gardener’s
toothless grin
i like
I also enjoyed these.
the gardener’s
toothless grin…nice…
Ha, the gardener! Also enjoyed the cat dish/moon that becomes the freezing pond that becomes the rearview mirror of the people skipping town for warmer weather. (OK, that may be imposing more order on the thing than is technically desirable. Still, that’s how I pictured that movement.)
that’s a really great reading of the poem’s movement rachael. glad you are enjoying its undulations.
