Jack in the Box take 4

Part of the end of term collection


Jack in the Box

It sits at the balance point.
A stonefish biding its time
tethered as clocks tick.

Stalactite secretes mote by mote
thicker year on year.

Blindsided
the tether peg kicked loose.
Slapped in the face by a shark
I spin without brakes.
It smiles and moves.

Eyes wide shut
visions fly
chaos butterflies
party in the belly.
