Lorelei Kay


kilter blink   


the edges don’t match up today

no string to pull me through the fray

bleak clouds twist twisting in long links

suds drip dripping from my sink

      keep dripping downward in my sink


the center’s scuttling away

old blue canoe begins to sway

my skates keep sliding off the rink

my ducks all teeter on the brink

      teeter totter on the brink


inside my music’s in a haze

my downbeat tilts in disarray

all rhythm’s drumming out of sync

          my silver bells no longer clink

      tarnished bells forget their clink


sky’s turning 50 shades of gray

my Queen of Hearts lost at croquet

that Cheshire Cat can’t wink or blink

and mad March Hare won’t share his drink

      March Hare won’t even share one drink

 

loose soil beneath me slips away

world’s changed to 60 shades of gray

fat Cheshire Cat begins to shrink

damn suds keep dripping from my sink

      gray suds drip drip dripping down my sink
