tell me Nikki
tell me
who is it or
what is it that inspires you?
is it a baby’s
cry or some love from your past
a distant bird
in the sky or coltrane’s jazz
tell me Nikki
tell me
how do you
find the words
the nouns
the syllables
the vowels
the verbs?
tell me
tell me Nikki
is it tricky?
damn you’re
clever
cause i never
seem to find the rhymes that
slant and
dance causing romance
as they fall
like pieces of sweet candy
from your
tongue
making me wanna
run
through
sprinklers on summer lawns
dripping ice
cream cones
and
scuppernong grapes bursting in my mouth
i taste your
succulent poems and i wonder how it’s done
so tell me
Nikki
tell me
what’s your secret?
