Tracking the Lyric Valuables

Nevertheless

-for Wendalicious

your slim sly book’s

a dance in the park

a daze, a drizzle

a puzzling lark

stones yearn to fly

words bark & sizzle

where you choose to fuse

we steam & bruise

to curve ourselves

to intent’s bent stem

changing color

undercover, just for fun

poems winsome

won some, lost & found

mossy, moving

knots unbound

 

I’m tantalized

I’m mystified

you pull my leg

my heart my eyes

and yet I bet

my best disguise

of dim wit & darkling

thought couldn’t pry apart

the surprising uptick

brilliant arc

of your even one

least question mark
