ode to lost earrings part 2

part 1: the ones left behind 

a solid yellow triangle, under a silver disc
a turquoise volkswagon with gold piping
a pale pink cat walking on a grey fur ball
a Turkish eye for luck, blue white black
a pair of red shoes Dorothy wore
a purple feather beneath a disco ball
a tree under a pop of bubblegum pink 

all one of a kind pieces
now one of each kind
line up on the dresser 
waiting  
for the other to come back
from where they dropped off 
from the lobe to travel the globe
the car park, the jogging track 
the train, the office 
not caring 
about the ones left behind  

Part 2: the party begins 

oh look the cat has come back! 
and now the rest turn to one another
no point waiting time to hook up
the red shoes beckon and the turquoise car zooms over 
the feather waves the tree over 
the yellow block and Turkish eye look at each other awhile
then they say we both have a disc this could work and they are off too

the world is jumbled but just right too
and now the dresser is filled with happy chatter 
of the ones left behind!
