20. Smitten
by Jane Flett
Cheater.
You got the noisecandy
I scraped the gauze heart
How's a girl supposed to
fix up curtains
Between want & intent?
Your tunamelt cadence
Sank me to ocean floors
I made starfish daisychains
Halos to snag your muscle
You stored your summerpop
in conch shells, which
I held to my ears &
Got smitten on hula hula
You blew vowelbubbles
We sucked crabmeat
I fell down the fathoms
I landed beneath the waves
You got the noisecandy
I scraped the gauze heart
How's a girl supposed to
fix up curtains
Between want & intent?
Your tunamelt cadence
Sank me to ocean floors
I made starfish daisychains
Halos to snag your muscle
You stored your summerpop
in conch shells, which
I held to my ears &
Got smitten on hula hula
You blew vowelbubbles
We sucked crabmeat
I fell down the fathoms
I landed beneath the waves

Great wordplay.
It's fun to let these words form psychedelic pictures! I particularly enjoyed the sea-life here.
*
Psychedelic wordplay, yes! And so visceral this:
"I fell down the fathoms
I landed beneath the waves" *
Swoontastic. *

Ya can get dizzy reading this! *
