Rabbit and Rose
Round strawberry bleeds on a blackberry
eft on a chipped ecru saucer.
Reaching for last coosh cake, barely warm_
Still here flashes on inside of a wrist.
Left on a chipped ecru saucer
smashed bits of smoked salmon glimmer as
Still here flashes on inside of a wrist
tattooed mantra, surrounded in daisies.
Smashed bits of smoked salmon glimmer as
discarded sequined bits, across the long table.
Tattooed mantra, surrounded in daisies_
sits a memory of family dining on laughter.
Discarded sequined bits across the long table
catches light of jingles and ribbons, making rainbows.
Sits a memory of family dining on laughter
at a table were women work patterns of ribbons and shawls.
Catches light of jingles and ribbons, making rainbows
reflected in my sister's eyes, deep pools of memory_
at a table were women work patterns of ribbons and shawls.
Our laughter is rhythmic like ocean waves or shaking shells.
Reflected in my sister's eyes, deep pools of memory
our laughter is rhythmic like ocean waves or shaking shells.
Round strawberry bleeds on a blackberry,
As I reach for last coosh cake, barely warm.
