Long, slow turn of ankle
flashing toes peek
from silken skirt swirls
a poetic gypsy soul
beats

down the street,
to tap her feet
with a heart-skipping beat.
The lady of words
high-steps by
with sure-footed stride;
unconfined thoughts in motion
as sparks flies from her heels
trailing luminous poetry
in her wake—
centered from knobby ankle bones,
each one a holy grail in rounded ivory.

Every callus
a memory of rhyme not spoken;
as scarlet toenails—
painted desire, shelled tokens,
reflects the dazzling sunlight.
Quick step off the curb evokes a hidden arch
of the world
contained in the bare bones
of Beverly’s feet.

Thanks peg, was just a stray thought of an over-tired mind, that blossomed.
