. mask .

hoity-toity wealth
air-borne
scattered earthward
withdrawal
at daggers drawn

beguiled youth
amiss
injected plague
cut and run

smeared sheets
iffy
enveloped about
vacant simper  
infra-
mask

dear
and too
near …

bulging popsy
being
within without
red-handed
blade
dwelling styx

callow soldier
fabricated
training sanctified
passing
into aurora

blemished rose
ebb
tarrying still
memento
boon aspiration

dear
and too

near …
<p>


. mask .

is there anyone who smiles without a mask?

what i find really interesting about this poem is that with some of your choices of words and the rhythm.. it seems almost childlike.. 'hoity-toity', 'iffy', 'bulging popsy' etc... over all it reminded me of something that would be a child's nursery rhyme or song.. and yet there is something darker or possibly even sinister that undercuts that...
it definitely makes me want to read more of your poetry..
