Splinters
Body in yoga positions unyielding
Sun light in angles to play with the eyes
Nimble lit fingers are all concentrating
waiting for brain-waves to signal, advise
all for the loosing of splinters
Caught from the deck in an afternoon bathe
Right at the moment of consummate melt
Didn't get up 'till the clouds pulled the shade
an irritant right at that moment was felt
palming new skin holding splinters
Now in a tank top too cold for the air
whisking the house through the windows and doors
Tweezer lit fingers are handled with care
to siphon the micro-wood not to ignore
all for the loosing of splinters.
And wouldn't you know it, one's always left
a touch stone to polish with alkaline fingers
One in scar tissue, anomaly rests
and patiently beds down to sensory linger
all in the losing of splinters.
