Sylvia Matzek

Slurping from the rim
Girgle, girgle, girgle
I'm thinking of them
Blink, blink, blink
...

Run.
Hold.
Escape.
Hold.
...

Oh, they care.
They reflect joyfully or sorrowfully.
They are shimmery or dull.
Oh, I would care.
...

Whirl, whirl, whirl
Swirl, swirl, swirl
Turn, turn, turn
Spin, spin, spin
...

Tall they are
Small they can be
Wide with giving
Only receives hugging
...

Yo, yo, yo
You don't even know
Yeah, I'm speaking to you
Just give me the cue
...

Freedom, freedom, freedom
Scream, scream, scream
Exhausted, sigh, breathe
Breathe in, in, in
...
