& nickels in your eyes

by Kelly Jensen

pontiac pontoon:

a jagged recollection in the backbending banana
sacrifices milktoast memories
her sashay a neurosis & belly placated
sparklike

hips jaundice & spackle-space brooding

link letting a rounded o & belly up
churning the girl with her gust
custodial & no surrender

finger hooks & spoons aloof
draining epiphanies through her bluerust metal strainer
pentacrest & silver swoon

mangoes puree etched in our mouths
entrails streaming south
mouths arched

monogram happenstance & shimmied ladder sideways
clatter plank to garden gate

teeth deep in bloody dreams

Author's Note: This is the first thing I've written in a long time. A work in progress. I don't know how I feel about it.

Well, I like it, if that's worth anything. Heh.
