Daring
By Sayani Mukherjee
Leftovers from the last night dishes
Faded days pastured alley cat paws
Sickly sweet
That chuckles my dainty days.
Arrows I shot and killed my mirror
Still my oath to the miracle
Magic Mondays swimming a great tenth
Kohl eyed retraced strokes
Back and forth
Butterflies in and out of the squeaky screaming
Foggy smoky November geraniums
I journeyed for the hardest gem
Generations and cults
Population of the earth ripped jeans
Recitation reconciliation omens
My black cat knows her nails
Sticky situation sat down and
Jot down a missing puzzle
The lights still on
Stillness and November
My daring swimming strokes.
