CHIMERA


Left cheek
dimple right mole
left smile crinkle
left hand grasps right:
one writes while
other plays bass.

Rogue singer of songs
of love, charmer,
iron temper, tenacity,
high achiever and mollifier.
Sinatra sinister wrecked furniture
in tantrums, enthused
Frank dexter caressed,
caroused all night
every night till the blue light
of dawn announced.

Binary but three or four
dimensional. Rubik’s cube
more than jigsaw. Jekyll
hiding or Hyde jeckling?
Two sides of the mask,
alternative dancing,
sad capriciousness
of the wholeness

our truth.
