a tiny roll,
a planted seed of
an embryo. A fallen
dewdrop

on a green blade.
A hidden gumdrop
melting in the shade.
Just a whisper

dancing in the
wind. A glossy pearl
that is silver tinged.
A hiccup on a ride

wave. Jasmine star paved
on an angel's wing. A bead
of mist skipping bridges in
G-string. A splash of perfume

nesting inside a wrist. Curly
lemon twist hanging over
a V-shaped glass. Running
wax on the sides of  

a candle. A weathered sole
on a leather sandal. The piercing
silent movie scream. A tickle under
the armpit steam. A hatching nit in

wavy hair. A bit of her here
and there. A sniffle in the frosty
air. A breath cloud hung
in the circus sky. Elephants

marching, trumpeting
lullabies to the beat of old
father time, in the streets of
an uphill climb.
