Midway (new title)

#1 Post by Billy » 15 Sep 2014, 03:19

Midway

Swinging in a gondola
at the very top
I feel like the hands
of a clock stopped
while the roar
of the fair goers below
continues madly on
without me.

Hi Billy

I imagine: what if I had read this w/out its title

outer body

far from the maddening crowd

thus workshop w/out a title

or

"outer body"


Swinging in a gondola
at the very top
I feel like the hands
of a clock stopped
face lost
while the roar
of the fair goers below
wavers madly on
without me

^^ I'm reminded, too, of the sensuous rococo swing,


except yours is out of this world
