winter Sphvynx

POTD by Jan Carroll

From
Jeffyfish Ball

Platinum ice dome
Matches my hair
Absorbed the sun that
Hex spotted the rolling
Veil, the corps
fanning at dusk,
Exposing and hiding
Their fleshua, descending
Cracking
Picked up whales’ sonar
(same old slabs loitering
Since forever)
Trolling for our iniquities
Flying in unlikely
Formations and mistaken
For our escorts
the pink
Fairy crabs trying
To radiate their
delusion
When they blithely
Signal the
Beginning of this dance
Vesci enshrouds her
Topaz veins,
just to take the floor
That expanse
waves
conclave
Domed plumes,
she trips ova
Her lilac cape aswirl
Exposing a cancerous spine
Brilliant against
The ice basilica
Her mercury scrim
Ballone on the tendril
of the satin phallus
and the laughing hymen
