Curls with your breath: Curls with the shape of your breath. Brillant. Fabulous image of walking in the footprints of those who went before us. Stones still cooling. Nicely done
It would be my pleasure..: It would be my pleasure (sing to We Are Family - Sister Sledge)
Pow pows on the butt
Takd your pants off
Keep your mouth shut
Pow pows on the butt
Afterwards, your butt's gonna sting
You did something that raised my blood pressure
It is very high
I'll do something that won't give me pleasure
You're gonna cry
Come over here
I'll give you pow pows
That's what I said
After I'm done
Look at your butt
It will be cherry red
Pow pows on the butt
Keep your pants on
Keep your mouth shut..
I originally was going to..: I originally was going to say how sorry I was that the cream you purchased ate your penis. I was happy to see the Author's Note that it didn't really happen. None of that stuff works anyway. I've tried them all. Once I was so disgusted I flushed the cream and tube down the toilet. But the next day I discovered the toilet grew to twice its size! I couldn't even get in the bathroom, had to call the plumber. What a mess. Thanks for sharing.
That is gladdening news. Some: That is gladdening news. Some have that reaction when eating. As for me its more of an upper shoulder/torso shiver.
The gloss refers to that little spark or sheen in speech when in this instant the creole peeks and seeps through into an otherwise flawless accent. I guess it's a kind of feature for bilinguals and multilinguals. Exotic or just a hint of, is probablly the most understandable descriptor. Thank you so much for gracing this page.
Fabulous: This made me do my happy seat dance. When I like a poem I do a little, "I like that" wiggle.
Loved the images of the kanji strokes, arabesco curves, creole gloss.
I admit to having to look up some references, which I love to do. Creole gloss ?
Searching for a streetlight poem. Great ending
So happy to find a poet to follow.
