three graces
are naked &
dancing near waterthe one on the left is drunk
& wavering her two eyes
see four on her sibling's forehead
the fires of a Himalayan
god shake Vishnu shake the Earth
Maker their legs shimmy
like fawn calves are shapely
like the middle holds
see the water each other
round & round
the fingers the
waistlines
the horizons
waver ingratiated as the muses miss a step
wondering where the other
six went
a woman with a monocle
or a monster with
a mustache
orbits dots surrounds her headdemocrats republicans
& independent oracles
crevices small buttons crawl down
her dress the curmudgeon face on her
ivory necklace is frowning
the carved figure seems
displeased at two white finger
prints
that lay upon her neck
up neck
down
side ways she
sneers
at this shit this twisted center her gloves
have pink eyesss a sand glass
an hour a lass
it’s shapely this center stares
like an ‘i’ plaited Cyclopes
it cannot hold
Beetle juice & a gutted
lime
in this eye the creepy vein
spiders dry vermouth burrs in her list confetti flowers
float together
they mask
this kiss
lifts gripping one another
as death
falls all around them this
election is over this is
our result
this kiss is
seen from around
a world
30 pairs of eyes oil
in his ‘fro
orange sliced frescos
& dominoes waffle
through her s-curls their hands documented
carelessly
holding time
his nose a phallus
dips gently in her mouth
a waiting black carrot
their necks disappear
blue flowers float
in this back ground
like Koi fish lipping
or a disease
burping up in the public pool
idylls
his head
kisses her fourth eye her hands
are drawn in front of her chest
rest
gloves
lean red
& green
like Christmas mittens
a sailboat on her shoulder
& black missiles
toe over her head
