& nickels in your eyes by Kelly Jensenpontiac 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
