Huddling (holding)
Biding (budding)

original poetry

Huddling
                                         as if to become reabsorbed
By the sponge earth
.
          rewound into the heavens
                                       like a salvaged puppet
.
                                           siphoned off the surface,
rainbow soapsuds for
splattering predictability
.
Huddling
                         in a canister of dysfunctionality
Squeezed
into a sterile tube
                         to unsanitize laughter
to desecrate time
to unravel the mechanism
.
Holding
(in check)                 dreams
(propelled)              aloft
                                               (where)           untouchable
.
       (biding)                   Budding
(fervent)                   hopes
           blooming                   (jewels)
skyward                   (launch)
