Staring
on the bustle below
driving back the ghosts and goblins
Ancestral spirits
coiled on a ceramic pot
keeping an eye on
the present generation
A chop of the knife
and another head
is hung up on the rafters
A batik
god/demon
rippling on a back or a wall
A clown's face
smiles at the barflies below
I'm the only one here who's sober
A paper kite with a triangular hat
soaring above this mundane sphere
A big smile in the bright sun
what a nice day
Jaws agape
roaming the seas
in search of a bellyful of passengers and fish
Dots and lines make up a face
as innocent
as the shoes' little owners
Smack into a broad face
wearing security eyeglasses
keeping guard on the city street
Beguiling traffic and passersby
with a perpetual wink and a pout
