gypsy on the
upline, go time – shake your bangled wrists at me
don’t let go sweaty hands eyes you should explain
what you’re waiting for since
i’m struggling with a half-star job restless
every lonely midnight wondering --
you stand so still, throaty husky bared like a secret
- you’re not telling
nose pressed against the window,
Cut throat (laughter
would echo but has nowhere to go
inside outside arms like Sheba
i thought you might have something wise
to say but you lost me at
Goodbye ) too soon

Thought I'd go for it. Inspired by alabaster in various ways.

sometimes random thoughts work well in a poem... from that abstract point of view that shouts ...
look at me!
Interesting point of view!
Keep penning on one stroke at a time!

Wow. This is different then I expected, it is random and yet, the piece works relatively well together. Almost like this was an "emotion purge" - really well done.
