When in the heart lies drought, doubt
the dry voice that flakes as finely
as the dark skin of snakes shed
their arid weight...a risky incarnation
for the absorbant fate night brings,

to slow the way
and ease love's sudden path
to the sullen heart, when
with the avid hand
you lean inward, sink
into the lungs warm
and so gently move into the veins,

to murmur over the impatient
incarnation of a dark child
in whom love is fearless
and drawn from the insatiable core
of midnight's resources,

whose sore eyes burn malachite
and invite the night
before darkness ever falls, then
to the hawk is given
its incarnation, my soul
on its own wing,
the wing in flight,
the flight filled
with a will more breath
than might, as the heart
longs to be still, and still
be satisfied.

you lean well, little one...
and divide dark shadows with brilliance.

its incarnation, my soul
on its own wing,
the wing in flight,
the flight filled
with a will more breath
than might, as the heart

oh....Yessss.........

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....
