Song of Sheba

By Rio Child

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Legs of alabastereyes are shiny saucersstaring down the moments moving along the way.(not etherealbut corporeal)With eyes that do not evadethe troubles sent by resentful fays.In winter they came with tongsI reasoned that they had won.(eyes bloodshotfeet with blisters)she still kept to the wayby not holding on to an ideal,only to Grace.In spring they came with daggersbut still I worried not,for when eyes and legs are decenteven wounds spur you on.
