from unfair
to rakish
advantage
the ball’s (always) in your court
and gold-flecked gratitude
dribbles
my inadequacy
keeping
cardio-grammatical
sentences
from spilling what
may really be forming
poised at
the edge of silence
draping smooth verbs
in red
japanese-lantern-light
and obscuring with
polysyllabic prestidigitation
tease like stocking –
couched
in the almost-pleasure
of your
beautiful absence
