By the bedside I hover and wait
Outside in the taxi is going
To airports carry short codes in
Three letters make up an alphabet
Explains to her before sun rises
A call from desk staff is hiring
A pleasant voice a plus two
Foreign tongues and schools teach
Grace for well-groomed as I'm not
To be forewarned, too late night for her
To get enough sleep tight I'll see you in the
Kisses on each eyelid not wanting me to leave
Me alone so I go before I come in
I love this one. So evocative.
ReplyDeleteDelightful romp, this one. I adore the great textures unexpectedly segueing the phrases. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful vignette, a variance in form that works divinely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, all!
ReplyDeleteBeginning to get nervous at the output rate. After the summer road trip, my necessitated absence from daily writing 'got my routine off' and clogged much down into the subconscious.
Once it began to surface, I started running off at the mouth. When I do that, I don't trust myself. I get reckless and sloppy.
Glad this 'trial innovation' didn't explode in my face like a gag cigar.
