Morning light slithers between blinds
and slashes strips off table tops.
Shuddering like a camera lens,
your eyelid's fender swats at slugs.
Slashed strips off table tops
curl into clumps of rolly pollies.
Your eyelid's fender swats at slugs.
It peels off like a sun-drenched sticker.
Curling into clumps of rolly pollies,
her locks of hair tumble to the floor.
Peeling off like a sun-drenched sticker,
your body rolls off the chopstick cot.
Her locks of hair tumble to the floor
jamming limbs at scalene angles.
Your body rolls off the chopstick cot
when yellow yolk dances in the pan.
Jamming limbs at scalene angles,
morning light slithers between blinds.
Shuddering like a camera lens,
yellow yolk dances in the pan.
