Boo Lender

by David Maurice

I only get scared when the dark comes out.
Light? Weight my friends, not a measure.

I only smell flowers at funerals.
Posies are for pockets
as clasps are for lockets.

I only write when you read it.
I only read when you right it.

There are patterns in stitching,
scars closed with unnatural needlepoint.

Bare breast
to the light
(it doesn't turn me on)

Some very clever word play here - I like words that twist my mind a bit. Thanks.
