thirty six. eyelid

31 6 4
                                    

i am pill box enchanted
over a soap-sud mouth
petal-fine granted in the grey
gold lamplight which was a
drizzle-dampened songbird
as i wandered anywhere but home.

had i looked over my bare shoulder
into the bay from far away in the world
"i am torn" say as milk teeth were
on the corner of a tangerine dream pill
enchanted as one blue eyelid was
a little music box soapy shoulder blade
a knowing hand in my braid still.
