” Left Scratching and Clawing “

Left scratching and clawing
spurning innocence reinforcing
back-and-forth boundaries

rescue capture recovery
asserting passivity
as well as voyeuristic marveling

inducing swooning
brooding ambiguity too
via earthly horizontality

defying gravity
porous weightlessness
achieving verticality

skimming clear rapid streams
silvery glittery like “real
gone girls of the cinema”

live with it as exhilarating differences
becoming more and more visible
after re-visiting gala paradoxical spins
of once-jarring rituals and maxims...
