Splashing

I.

out eye of sky

smiling brows of gull

canoe's punctuation

             upon

             26 flag trellis

shivering timbres

the brilliant entrance

             of elephants

             fully embellished

             with lace, gold,

             sapphires,

             diamonds in their eyes.

the tip toe hippos

             shrieking

             over quick sand

             flaunting gravity.

eroding the evening

             with your icicle charms

                     your lusty bassoons.

             

beneath swoop crow caravan

             making double u's

as we maneuver our

             yellow tusks

             our porpoise thighs

             dipping our tentacles

             past liquid membrane

             below the aluminium

                     candelabra.

And the moon of the clock tower

             rasps

             circlets of haze

             wherefore

             art

             thou?

II.

Two strings of devil
waver below
Grinch's hovercraft
who now vanished,
        now alights,
        green eyes flashing.

Tiny torches blink open
        shimmer corn,
        shimmer green gold,
        shimmer maple,
        on this life vest lake.

Throats of your cannons
        wax.
        Grandfather's chime.
        Kayakers drift past
        blast mouth

        burn sky
like a great golden toasted
        marshmallow.
