Poetry : Victorian Trinkets

~

Plagiarize one self
With the moving
Of a line
And look into
Disguise
Without a stitch
Behind . .

Strobe confections
Fairer disarm

Fallen thread
Cause and effect

Beat of the lips
As a lover sings
Cascade traces
We waltz
Staining
To an image

Waif of servitude
In the camera eye
Servants flowing
Betrayal circumvents
The nature of curvature

Forbidden stream
Players in their
Own dance
. .
Statuesque
Possession
. . .
Sensual
Criminals

Silence of butterfly.

We have left trinkets behind
Another age
