Kim Rodrigues Poet Light Verse

Backwards Tow

Our backsides don’t see the stars

  the seeds of our eyes hypnotized

mesmerized suspenser

  on the flapping sheet

etchings of a classic

  flick  moths flutter and cling

seeing shadows drawing ever nearer

  on the grassy knoll

sunflower eyes expand

  as the sea explodes

and Brody’s one hundredth pronouncement

  stunned and slow backwards tow

“We’re gonna need a bigger boat…”
