I tied pearls into her hair. The white against dark strands reminding me Of the morning’s snow and how it lay Delicate on branches as they reached In a supplication of sun that turned in time To a wet and slow warmth that stirred Within roots the sap of veins Her skin tasted of cinnamon While her eyes were the amber to capture What light fell within and trap it there A refraction of color to grace the curve of lips I traced slow with end of fingertip And thought of how there slipped The under bark of limbs a cambium layer smooth Before the ivory exposed grew sticky with a bleed There was the silk of slick in spring Rearrange the stars As I will now the gems I have tied Till the moon grows round and fat within a sky An expectant sigh to come again while dreams lie Like the ends of string knotted within tresses And the clouds in cords bind blind the window So it can not move but to stay exposed A bare expanse This razored glass Teased by the eyes Round her wrists I wove golden chains As center of daisy plucked was forged to links A quiet glow of dust to memorize upon the iris And to hold a moments place upon the stones Held loose within soil a tethered grip The clasp Fingers twined the vines of us Draped loose along the connecting points Loosing the ties Satin slid from shoulders to lay rippled As water upon a calm night might find blue Too easy a color to breathe so exhaled soft instead The mist I inhaled the scent Then found a wafer thin upon tongue As my knees were bent And in the soft plying sacrament Brought to the sough of trees within the wind as the underside of moans Then wrote upon the arc of her Four letters Warm |

a particularly EXCELLENT ‘write’! I especially LOVE: “I tied pearls into her hair. The white against dark strands reminding me Of the morning’s snow and how it lay Delicate on branches as they reached In a supplication of sun that turned in time To a wet and slow warmth that stirred Within roots the sap of veins Her skin tasted of cinnamon While her eyes were the amber to capture What light fell within and trap it there A refraction of color to grace the curve of lips…” [to me…that is ‘as good as it gets’!!] I find the following grand-fine as well!: “Rearrange the stars As I will now the gems I have tied Till the moon grows round and fat within a sky An expectant sigh to come again while dreams lie Like the ends of string knotted within tresses And the clouds in cords bind blind the window So it can not move but to stay exposed A bare expanse This razored glass Teased by the eyes…” most serious, long-sustained applause!! [a poetic ‘standing ovation’ for this one!] |
