Dec 9
CLIMBING TREES IN HIGH HEELS
the swish of her
dress as
thigh crosses thigh
the static electricity of her
nylons laddered
from climbing trees in high heels
the rescued cat now
safely asleep by the fire
snoring not purring
the whiskey a jewel
in the cut-glass decanter
the glint in her eye
again the sigh
as thigh crosses thigh
she singing softly to her
self as if
she was the only one
left in existence
the clock leaving
a longer and longer
silence between each tick
and tock
and tock
the clock now stopped
looking elegant
in a thin white vase
the yellow chrysanthemums
just stare and stared
as if they were frightened
of the silence
a shepherd carrying a lamb
in chipped china
looking out of place
without his companion piece
a ***** shepherdess
broken only last week
it was ten past 7
though the clock did not know
that
Time had abandoned
the room
outside the first snowflake falling
*
Do not attempt this at home children and always remove high heels if you should do so. Make sure you have a responsible child supervising you.
Martha suffered a snapped heel and torn tights due to her hasty action in saving her cat who came down when she came up( thus rescuing itself in reality)and had to be rescued by burly laughing firemen.
