Of Dream , Of Dream
   ~collaboration with Cpat Hair

See now
the harsh amber husk
of night, envelop
the body’s sore insolence
in a hardened wilderness
of dream-scarves,


Westward luring,
these red muslin depths
of wet petals cling desperate
upon a black bough,
leaning into lucidity
with hands, sure to lift
the perilous scent of orchids
piled in a great sheathe of rain,

you come,
to shepherd my sorrow,
gently strip the gypsy silk
from my limbs,
my temple, my tomb,
opening a silence
of ruined wings,

your touch a path
of soft, wild promises
bathe my skin with seed,
in these quiet silver pools
of summer dream,
and warm my child
in your wings,


So now
the clouds pile themselves
into a tumbled weave
of violet blooms too fair
to cover the limbs that hang
heavy with the mists of desert storms
late come to the sky or night
as I yearn

for some small breath
that sleep might bring
leaving me in slow satin dream
where I am wrapped in more
than the ache of these unsheathed nerves
and cradled soft in seams
folded twice across
some muslin heart,

of dream,
I dream.

Chief~

I treasure every poem we have ever written together...this one, I turn back to often....

Writing is such a selfish thing for me....it has always been my...catharsis, my healing, my deliverance from the moment...and I don't often attempt collabs...for that reason...but from day 1..you have made it so easy for me...showed me...patience always....and a steady, steady hand....

I love writing with you~
