Silk Suspenders
by James Morehead
take me away far away to a city in the clouds suspended by silk threads swaying in cool breeze leave me by the front gate on the north side i'll wander through tranquil gardens forever stopping to probe rich air air filled with the yellowpurplelavender of a thousand flowers later when soft shadows begin to grow i'll walk down cobblestone lanes unmarred by carriage wheels past marble shops with lace-curtained windows a pet store with laughing collies inviting chocolate from the bakery next door a warm thick scent holding me in temptation and whenever i feel dull or bored i'll use my sharpened razor to cut another silk thread and feel the city shiver beneath my feet
