Poet,
your alizarin words
lurch too much
“this hatching won’t hurt, promise”
I clutch your ankles,
as you dangle
from the window
will you fly?

"Alizarin" is an awesome-sounding word. The second stanza almost makes it sound like the piece is about taking a risk. That's just what I thought. Great write. -R.T
