Note to a mime

Pantomime thief, music box angel,
mask of a face.
Lips wore red.

with too-small wings
you dance the buds on the tips of trees, branches
pirouette

Through subways, with screeching iron and popping sparks

finally caught up with her, cornered.
in the pavement where the
Blackened bubblegum splotches
a more tender moment

Surmontrose
