fresh cabbage—
he “hey baby”s me
with such a serious face
•
his eyes accented
with age spots—
how weary and pond
ice blue they are
when he takes off
his glasses . . .
•
morning mist
swarms like gnats
under every streetlamp—
the bus stop bench
bare and blending
into the shadows
Yay Words! 
like all three!
Thank you, Sanjuktaa!
aloha Aubrie. the twisting use of a phrase or pairing of words in these lines is intriguing. the way each line adds layers of surprise meaning to what has been laid down previously—I like that. a lot. way cool. and fun. aloha
Thanks, Rick!
