Not Spilling A Drop Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Not Spilling A Drop



Not spilling a drop, in a zigzag line
Red-as-a-lobster man, trousers at half-mast
Veers fore and aft towards his tilting table

The blue tattoo on his arm has a wrinkled mermaid
Her sad green tail folds into the wrinkly equator
Around his elbow.

Poor mermaid, gone from a peach
To a shriveled walnut
Her plump pink face and breasts
Now concertina squeezed.
