Lucy-elastic

Hyper mobility

By Paul BeckettPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Super elastic ligaments

Twisted up, clustered rut. Ankle bater.

Limb Limbering ballroom exasperation

Calf half broken, wound round too tightly

Snapped on a swing landing, too sharply

Contract shut, Lucy Elastic, not ecstatic.

All too distraught, hindering hopscotch.

Black blood shot related empathic kneel.

Bent up backward. Flawed anatomy see

Clawed at the sore, saw me unflattering

Magician’s boxes, dissected impractical

Lock loss injection. Retract imperfectIon

Filed until level. Incarnation dishevelled

Off the ground. Foot fell, into sympathy.

Soil isn’t easy resting. Nestled nesting

Aloft the Coxes Orange Pippin branches

Lurkers waste no time on star grazing.

Consumption of prowlers intent, lofted

Awkward monument, above the stalker

Watch Vera trace the boundary, motion

Less my mind lung signal not to exhale

No voice, silent calls, withheld number

3043.Trampled on the corner mourner

Disturbed sleep. Death dream rattlers

About the Creator

Paul Beckett

I’m a writer, horologist & joy filled fantasist. Reality to me is plastic. I’m fascinated with time, quantum physics, analogue and fashion.

My writings at least 69% autobiographical, often 99%
