Snap-Crack Whiplash Snap-crack whiplash as the crumpled steel crumps the imperceptible bubble pops audibly A thousand glittering fairies disincorporate from a plate to a platter they shatter the snap-crack whiplash longs for plaster as it casts off that structured vertebrate master that holds it in shape Rubber shrieks in death-throes throwing off the tyranny of the round that snap-crack echoes in the bones dethrones the head from its regal perch and as it falls so does a rising star It's course aborted, heavenward aspirations thwarted it burrows deep furrows into virgin earth. Snap-crack whiplash, it echoes, fading into silence Dancing Upon snow white-red-blue fields dance a thousand black-blue-red claws scribblescrabble, they chant as they pirouette A tango structured and yet malleable each foot carries its own beat all feet step differently and yet the ballroom is filled with order every blood-border bisects the arterial sussuration A dance with implications unlimited secrets as open as any book but closed to closed eyes and closed minds Alas these frolicking gymnasts tire parasitic feet drag host heads down to the level of the stage, a cave in the air with steel roots pushing at the earth rather than pulling 'tis an ill wind that blows when the great blue sea refusees to wave farewell to the fleet of ships that daily sail on its rigid tides. |
