I Would Rather…
September 29, 2009

I would rather

clutch my invitation

and wait my turn

in party clothes

prim, proper

safe and clean.

…………………………

But a pulsing hand

keeps driving me

over peaks

ravines

and spidered brambles.

…………………………………

So, I’ll pant

up to the pearled knocker

tattered

breathless

and full of tales.

- Janet Chester Bly
