the brush arbor light was low and golden on the field your breath though long absent crept close to the ground looking for my cheek knowing a caress would turn me back I stood waiting for the right wind to blow and lift this hair shirt I wear from habit to loosen me to feel real as fire and stone the whisper came like this seek a new light set your house in order look among the stalks for sheaved reality and then the feel of your breath spun out by the golden light caught me the warm blade poised for harvest the wind stilled the brush arbor grew dark |

LadyKate~ This beauty totally mesmerizes me in the word-lovely of it all~ Softly stunning read ... *sighs* emitted~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

This is very, very fine! I am especially fond of the beginning and ending: “the brush arbor light was low and golden on the field your breath though long absent crept close to the ground looking for my cheek knowing a caress would turn me back" “…your breath spun out by the golden light caught me the warm blade poised for harvest” AND the images in these lines: “to feel real as fire and stone”; “sheaved reality”; V. MUCH applause!! |
