RETURN TO SENDER

 

Stamped night enveloped in darkness

Skipped heartbeats softened to mush

Blurry postmark smudged lipstick gloss

Sealed shut with butterfly kisses

 

Ukulele newfangled instrument trading places

Steel guitar uptight twisted wires

Unhinged case begging passerby alms

Tosses coins rough edge landings

 

Strumming banjo pluck heartstrings tug

Fretting about nothing much matters

Metallic claws peeling off shadows

Crackly chord rhythms gone astray

 

Intergalactic midnight blue velvet painting

Lunarscape that glows in dark

Leaning against some distant planet

Fallen meteor mistaken for star

 

Unearthed jewels fake gemstone paste

Everyday colorful prismatic spectrum refractors

Crashing surprise party gift wrapped

Petrified rainbow overstaying friendly visit

 

Galvanized mailbox slack jaw agape

Awaited special delivery never arriving

Tumbling moon somersaults over asteroid

Cartwheels spread eagle wheel spokes
