Wonky Perfection

My right brow soars
As the left falls flat
deflated.

My left eye winks
Whilst its partner stares
immobile.

My right lip sinks
As the left-twin gloats
ecstatic.
My left jowl sags
Whilst its sibling lifts
delighted.
My shoulder shrugs and swipes my right ear,
As my hat
fuzzes and
free-falls
to my

left.

 

Cocky.

Wonky.

Assured.

Perfect.

Freelance writer and descendant of the cave dweller and outlaw, Humphrey Kynaston. Banished from Shropshire for my eccentricity, I have made my home in Suffolk. I write poetry, short stories, travel journals, comedy gig reviews and non-fiction articles. My wish is to write my way back into the heart of my birth land. All writing commissions (and free holidays in Shropshire!) considered.
