Zipper Poems - Poems about Zipper

Zipper
A snaking mouth sloughs two spines, the rattle of small vertebrae and delicate teeth. A woman learns to ride them, feels the trombone slide of a dragon’s tail. A man lifts tugging fingers, not wanting to fumble as ill-illuminated aluminum rails bite. The zipper knits together lusts or shuns and strips a thought away. Body bags become bodily prayers. It is a widening gash gleaming - lip-gloss for...

Premium Member A Broken Zipper
A broken zipper Can happen any time When it does- It does happen It is at the wrong time Rushing to be outside The zipper would break On a winter jacket Or a pair of jeans A change in a zipper Is what is needed A winter jacket That is different When nothing else to wear Go to the dry cleaners They send it out When returned The charge...

Zipper
it's a little above the middle of her back if it were in front it would be between her breasts but going back around pinching the clasp slowly pulling it down exposing her perfect smoothness of brown skin against the yellow of her full length gown that slides off her shoulders to the ground i massage the tension from her neck...

Zipper
A snaking mouth sloughs two spines; the rattle of vertebrae. A woman learns to ride them, feels the trombone slide of a dragon’s tail. A man lifts on tip-toe not wanting to fumble. They knit lusts to opening prayers, cadavers to body bags, close a gnash of gaping space - block a cold throat from an exposed face....

Like a Zipper
It's like a zipper opened then closed when foolish words express the errors of a random guess. It's like a button a spew of words reveling searching for the hole in things we barely know. It's the mouth speaking and the exasperation expelled without the input of the brain when there is nothing to gain. It's the lessons that we learn...

Zipper Lips
I'm learning to shut my mouth. Keep some secrets. The world isn't deserving of the story I have inside. Levels of perception. People can never truly understand someone else. I will always be a stranger to you, no matter how much I talk. So I should be quieter and then you won't have my words to use against...

Premium Member Zip Your Zipper
Don't forget to zip your zipper. Said thee old whipper snapper. Life's too short, so be a good sport. While we head to a resort. After the high school prom tonight. We can make whoopee, under a pine tree. After I take you by the hand. Then we'll see buckets of golden nuggets, flowers and daffodils. The we'll see puppets, all playing their...

The Fall My Zipper Broke
The fall of sixty-three, an incongruity! I saw myself on a Queen's float, a title rare - "Miss Sorghum" of our Hancock County fair. I aced the talent part - piano was my art; but needed practice wobbling in a brand-new pair of pointy, spiky heels I'd bought to wear. Fate came about too soon, that fatal afternoon, my clever escort list'ning...
