glide through the eye

of a ruby kaleidoscope

sail from river to sky

gone in sixty seconds

greet the moon 

with a two bite amuse bouche

let star nectar drizzle down

the chin of  insatiability

mop the furrowed brow

of a crimson lipped sun

whisper sweet innuendos

to a lovelorn venus

twist the ear

of an asteriod punk

roam contentedly disconnected

til the swollen river tugs

pirouette earthward tousled

yet impeccably done

~

the eel wife

the eel wife dreams

of oceans and islands

of gods and goldeneyes

of frantic kisses

of an unending slew of lovers

and the taste of fresh coconut
