loose (Acrostic) by thetrev
There she is, swinging,
Heels burning, an
Eel stuck in a rectangle.
There she is, burning,
Radiant, nostrils flaring,
And out of the lycra
Peep her hands, a dash of white: an
Egg yoke hurled, or a snowflake. A
Zebra running without its stripes, or a dyed
Eagle.
âEel Appealâ headlines would say or just
Appeel. Perhaps. She down-
Gles, clutching the rope, her skin
Like slipping soap. Her
Eastern blue scales are ripe: she
Dives. An
Inky line crossing the page, peppering blue before
Eclipsing. Only, in the arena, a
Sheet shivers with whiteness.
