Taller Girl (Free verse) by lastobelus
Taller Girl whirled her skirt
in segregated circles, drawing
boundaries around her with it
with her hair twirled out in black circles
and her arms flung out that skirt coming
up.up. towards them, wooshing out and
drawing her space unusually wide
as she was unusually tall as if
she would somehow.turtle.down in it.
1.one drum and a guitar and then another
and under.guitar.drum.thunder.
her circling hair, her face comes cover
comes turning under that silk flung
black.Once.coming
around and the hair flying up
(I saw) turtled brows and closed blacklined eyes,
mouth turned down in (studied)
Oblivion.but the other.drum.come-
ing around had an opened eye,
(the) red lips turning up under
the flying glimpse of hair so I saw
that she saw that I saw her.drum.
Then went whirling away into the center
.drum.thump.un.til I saw only
the tips of her hair flying over the heads
of.all.the.(drum).others and heard
her stamping boots.
