Eight toes in
After Melissa Jørgenrud Helton
Thumbs sticking out
like wrung out dreams
moored for good
measure
decades
on this deck
recklessly denying
nemo’s memo
one foot out
four toes in
you peek through
your reflection
dispersing
till the stream
tickles your sole
and drafts the drifter

I enjoyed the wordplay and sounds of “decades
on this deck/recklessly denying/nemo’s memo”
Yessss….”Thumbs sticking out/like wrung out dreams/moored for good/measure” and “till the stream
tickles your sole/and drafts the drifter”
