Manickette

(Ian Edwards)


On a snow-covered sea
the color of last week
you once sailed
a lifetime of me
I walked this earthen soil
and the sparkle of aluminum foil
Can't you see,
it blistered my eyes?
You fed me watercolors
so abundant I shook
You led me into your world
how long it took
This manickette I love
I have to love
Kitten with an RIP
racing underground with glee
you once ran up
a lifetime of me
You take me to a place
which only some will know
You leave me in a place
sometimes high, sometimes low
This manickette I love
I have to love
