Tap shoe
a lost bag on a porch step
a lie somebody told & stuck to.
After all this time
a bundle of questions
like an old coffee can full of bent nails.
You aren’t saying what you think
you’re saying. Maybe you’re not saying
much at all. And the pine sways
and she stays anyway.
You aren’t undressing this doll.
Love the image of an old coffee can with bent nails. So reminds me of my father.
you aren’t saying what you think you are saying <– THIS !!! xoxoxo
*you’re (of the original line, but it spread out into my heart as you are)
You aren’t undressing this doll – love it!
Yay Shanna!
So sly enjambment as always
You aren’t saying what you think
you’re saying
And the ending whew. Mic drop, but w the doll that closes its eyes when you lay it down! Yep.
