Beloved Birthday Memories

...
The aroma of mellow gardenias, the dance of a ballerina, 
the sound of an Italian concertina

Purple, shaded, toe shoes that glide across a stage with 
footlights and an applause of ...

Kafkaesque

...I ponder whose hands concertina time.
Sometimes my brain wakes up 40 years younger
for a few moments I am vital,
perfectly formed and a smile for every eye.

State Fair

A Small Bookshop

...Ranks of glossy printed editions
squeezed into a concertina of space.
The acrylic smell of new books
is cordite to my nose.

Fingerdance Potd

...

                          FINGERDANCE

Flowered horses with petite ballerina,
cute monkeys with funny hats playing the concertina. 
Jumping tide...

Suns light in eyes, still
