UNHINGED
REALITY
Rolling smoothly
REALITY
Rolling smoothly
Every step she took
surreptitiously stroked
around the earth's surface like a satellite
rocketing beyond control
as if she were a Rook on the move.
She never backtracked
you'd be bananas to imagine her suggestive glide
were anything but her shapeliness being included
as an unannounced
force around an otherwise squelched
misdemeanor, of stealing the last cherry
in the kitchen of her heart.
Long stride short
if only she'd worn sneakers.

i couldn't manage those heels - especially on a train track! :)
wonderful!
Both pieces really nice! Unhinged reality, love the contrast of those words.
In the kitchen of her heart. Love that!
Wonderful poem and image. Have a happy weekend!
Clever. And don't we all have an unhinged reality or two in our lives...
Well constructed, worth reading, leaves us with a laugh - fine!
I'm amused by how you fit "bananas" and "sneakers" into the loftier language of the poem.
What an interesting explosion of words

That was indeed very powerful..
Cheers
Have cherries always been in the heart? (I'd rather not elaborate, if you don't mind.)
Love the kicker at the end with the sneakers!
Sensible shoes for sure-footed stealth!
