Of Paper Moons, Foxes, and Blood Oranges
...I. Sighting
I saw you
through refracted light-
a prism of chance
splitting ordinary into spectrum.
Wind-tangled hair
terra cotta and rosemary beneath your nails

THE BOX
...THE BOX
All the things I must have lost
Seem to be here now, in this box
Made of cardboard, not a chest
Some toys that I once possessed
But one stands out among the rest
I must admit, it was ...

Each story fell to the ground
feathers were collected
in the die-off different colours
prismed in the silver dust

Vulpine
...Vulpine woven soft nest
Velvet silky lamb's ear
Velvety smooth to touch
Velveteen feel to squab
Volumes of suppleness line
Vaguely feels like duck down
Very soon ventures start

Tear-Tainted Sail
...In the beginning this boat was bare,
Greenest with infant's sinless stare;
Before soles more selfish than sane
Had trodden its dreary derelict main.
First to blacken its still-tiptop form

And tip triers to toss wee mites for more;
To forfeit modicums of ground for vaster
Acres wider than the fabled Midas shore.
No curse greater than lost...

But our hostess I adored
And I just couldn’t say: “I’m bored”,
So, I milled around, and said “Hello”
And tried to fake a “party ...

What Does the Fox Say
...Vulpine barhopper
bays pick up line to new moon
Mama-dum-day-do
Feline target wails
unsheathing sharp claws to show
Hatee-hatee- ho
Grizzly bouncer comes
rescues feline in distress
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!...
