….Blind as a ballerina swirly against the air -
Remaining; broken in stealth, in motion sharkesque through the waters draw,
Extracting pollens, bunkum that breeds the sharpened killer.
As nubile across her generation.
She flirts, dances, in the breast of her mother who bore her.
White, blotches-of- black light – lightening;
She licks and flicks the swaying dandelions’
As potential suitors. Then casually flicks them away.
They as she, in centre under some magisterial. Mirrored orb – just is as…
She plays and looks for nothing. Seeking nothing, she wishes for nothing.
Other than plain admiration, of nothing more than herself in play -
Than my secret eye - viewing her in the garden.
Her sleek black and white greyless torso, twisting, turning and,
Leaves…, determinedly, across the wall – until, home!
