Allocating Sun Rays
By Maladroit
She's
clutching glitter,
fist-fucking her ear canal
allocating sun rays
to spew
from a mouth that speaks shards of glass.
He's
knee deep,
wallowing in a childhood rut
cursing his mother
for failing
to teach perception: the mud-hole as a pond.
She's
carving butter knife etchings,
pleading for him to read,
to comprehend his own potential-
to finally see:
"It wouldn't have mattered if she was
around
when it only takes a tablespoon to drown;
floaties and crutches are both elective,
bag your buderns with more selection."

Haven't heard of them "floaties" in years, since the Red Cross swimming lessons for my daughters. The age-old battle of He and She will ever be (Rodin should have had a lady for a model of "The Thinker") - cheers!

this reaches so many searching hands but they all come to clear focus. the second and last stanza floored me. the pieces all just fall into place, no stone left uncovered. you offer just the right portion, no unneeded words or making smoke signals, no circling and recircling the point. you write like an excellent chess player, a disciple of sun tzu. great vision, forward thinking, understanding of your opponent and yourself, driven method, balance, humility. it is a rare treat to have you post again so soon. thank you.
