Show Poem: August 20, 2016 KC, MO @ Tronkel House #poetry 

The elephant removes
His foot from my back 

I awake
Legs V shaped ready for the world
Eyes like sparklers underwater 

The ice is extremely then
But I will lose the weight
Required to skate by

I’ve learned a lot
From a fish’s eyes 

Scheduling work
Outside the pain clinic 

Sunshine disposal
A new zoo army 

I hear the dogs barking
At the distant rain 

A condescending smile
Perhaps I need it more than
I care to admit 

Or perhaps I am just
Tickling myself in a mirror 

The feather touches
My knowing under side 

And then it floats away
