the drifting of your eyes
as your reach for higher things
letting the hem be just a him
that you don't wonder about

when you untie the silk there
from your cautioned edges
and hurry slowly nonchalant
as if only occasionally intentional

and then you lean on your elbows again
and hold your shoulders just that way
as you read lines between dreams
by the flicker of the pen

wondering how every thing tastes
that you have never been close to
and would you mind the windows really
if strangers were beyond them

only looking at where you were going

D, my friend -

You sing these poetry songs so well.  The words are almost elusive as I read them.

my hem always lifts

your eyes of dark

I am always amazed at the subtleness you show in describing an attitude.

Such intriguing visuals, dear D.!

Love,
