Verna Cannon Ivory Idol
glowing sort of like a firefly, flirting with my
wingspan, pissing me off you're such a good example, but
i can't see past you you're blocking my view will you
better me always? i love to watch it, though it pains me
every time it's beauty all the same maybe i could pull it
off in some other country, some other coast pretty
tinkerbelly laughter, something i can reach for but you
catch me half-butterfly, yanking up my chrysalis with
embarassment (it fell off before i was finished) you're
such a good invention,wish i'd thought of you first
someone will always mention you just when i think i'm
about to and i could carve myself from you, but you'd be
hollow, and i'd be small, my ivory idol
