Damask Mask: 2005_RedPencil_Drawing2


9/16/08_2005_RedPencil_Drawing2_Poem by Betina Hershey Russo

Oh!
Oh my goodness!
(pant, pant, groan)
I just heard....

The mask never stops
It's shocked gossip patter
With hair frozen in electrocuted ringlets
And eyes pried wide open.

I sneak behind it
And recline into the grayish morning
With my laptop, my poems and orange juice.
Om.

Oh my! Can you believe!?
It's just too much for words!
Oh! Oooooh! Oooooh! Oh!

The little monkey mouth
Is a perfect circle
Of doubting ecstasy.
