Suffragette

Suffragette

written by: Alan Britt

 

Eyes the color of moss enter
a harmonica like the feral wind
through Georgia pecan trees.

Personality fashioned by a scarecrow
balanced on one cottonwood leg,
scarecrow millennia old nowadays.

One hipbone contains enough bruises
to mimic every primordial vibration
undulating DNA’s starfish papillae.

Eyelashes like rattan fans wafting
Amazonian breeze through the moonlit
tresses of a Mona Lisa washerwoman.

Eyes the color of moss enter
a harmonica like the feral wind
through Georgia pecan trees.
