The Crush

Breathe out, 
and it swells, 
solid, firm-seeming,
translucent and squeaky.
It clings to your clothes, 
and the belly of your cat. 

Let go, 
       and it zooms 
round the 
     room,
            blatting.

Ignored, it drifts 
into a corner, 
becoming flaccid.
Blustery and fra-
gile, a pinprick 
can burst it.
Breathe 
in.

Oh, my. I can feel this one, and see it, and I'm not that visual a person. Really beautiful and effective. I love it.

I had planned to, but then things got away from me yesterday, and then today I talked myself out of it because I'd missed day one. I'm my own worst enemy sometimes.
