Rotary Phone By Amanda Tumminaro

Rotary Phone

The seasickness motion
is like that of carnival teacups.
With each slither of a number,
I am closer to accomplishment.

Each hole is a phantom of a noose
around a miniature neck.

The box is panther in color,
no sunlight can sneak by
the guard on the patrol,
and indecision is an insignia.
