Iris flex

Trapeze, wired to the sky

Sinusoidal over the still void that lies below

Skip so dainty, faint lines

Muslin curtains

Hitch a ride swinging so

Go gentle to and fro


Downalong to the strains of string guitars

And the outdoor rhythms of the pavement splashing sedans


Deserts and torpedoes

Cauliflower and rice

Children's toys inflected

Projected film

Spines to splice; sliced, laced

Traced in ever finer lines

Mains braced in suspension


Common kindness

On the boundaries of comprehension

Passed the treacheries, beyond the tension
