Each Finger A Syllable
fingers of lightning
2 hands in movement
streak-scratch across framed faces
animation illusion
illuminating
beckoning fingers
****
either bit her nails
or clawed out of a coffin
(fingernails tell tales)
fascinated by her tips-
manicuriousity
****
each syllable lovingly fingered/
the sweetest stench of brilliance lingered
****
(some syllable counts
Americanized English
do not translate true)
