Lost Rings and Broken Toes
LOST RINGS AND BROKEN TOES
a sultry summer night
entices
exposed-- unclothed
immersion
sinking into velvet
water
body twirls as fingertips
brush
echoing aqua circles by
moonlight
flash of silver flies
high
lands in darkened
flora
the ring that binds
lost
love in a maze of
undergrowth
ambiences swim into
reality
wet feet trip on slippery
tiles
in hasty panic searching
torch
on hands and knees in
shrubbery
pain ignored as ring
unearthed
precious gem worth broken
toe
