staircase poem 7

pink baby ballerinas (again)
as education phd students gather
what do they think of this experience?
might be worthy of a journal entry
or doc seminar discussion
next time met

might be stepping
around a fishing well
a pool of wishes
a school of kishes
red lips in the sunset
a sail or fin above snow

a walking voice box
talking pink heart
not red or blue valentine
sound check that mic
up close with lips close
and listen to the sounds

this is important attention
to detail ... and despite
grocery store specials
my love is not like
a red red lobster
in mid-february snow

my love lives far away
with lemon and banana
trees in the garden
and belled sheep on hills
overlooking an ocean blue
and island-filled
