Glib-Tongued

By Fiona Dwire

Passing slowly through a vector

And dipping toes in zero gravity,

Fabled to be full of sympathetic specters

My irises start to dart

In sync with your skeptical stare

Because the backdrop has been draped

in an

acoustic analog

Until the tones and notes converge.

This place is too lax for a haunting affair.

Bleary shadows being shaped

By a flame damp with fog

Dancing to the tune of your funeral dirge.

But once your lungs have all been drowned in drawl,

I’ll write my theories,

A series,

Eulogy Underdog,

About a fruit with no force to fall.
