Benign respite

withered

Meek lull

poke a haunch

“Waff, waff:

Tuck!”

imaginary toeholds –

box the fingers sorely

dawdling doodle

in the stomach –

lurks in the nook

while waiting for the awkward dither…

Sigh seeps in gleams

inside

and tickles gist.

Naught is gone.

Rustle ensues.

“Toss-whop”,

“chuckle – whack”.

– empty swell,

vaporous…

(Bell plunks)

– sound off …

– puff throws the pinch peep,

cozy.
