accretion

accretion 

those candy floss machines,

you know, you put a stick in

and it comes out hugely bound

in the sweet threads of minds eye. 

or the toffee apple dripping hot

shining in mind’s other eye. 

or the roller skate hill that runs

faster and faster than mind’s eye

can follow up the other side. 

that is the accretion of a poem,

when mind’s eye is looking the other way

it spins a yarn out of both ears.
