When she whispered the sough of grey Upon clear blue skies, Even angels fell hushed listening to hear if in her heart they would break And fall with shattered wings Or finally learn to fly Should she lift a gentler hand to hold The bottom of the sky. She sulked along the edges where cool Met warm moist seams and Writhed as she let small strokes build in her Flashes of what was to come Should she let go and spread her dress Of bruised white to cover the eyes of sky, She grew high, and let the hands of wind mould her form Along the curves that turned Fair grows the breast of storm that would suckle Some wilder ride on whorl of him To leave behind such scattered flotsam as can float On strong grip of air Or the roil of flood should she come wet, Again I watched her while the afternoon turned later arms Sweeping minutes into hours one today two tonight too many For her to die in some black hazed grip of sun, One can not turn their eyes Or she will end her sulking pose And long…. To burn across the empty Gasping last breaths come pre-dawn dreaming all the while Of sycamore along the banks of scattered stone Where she once upon a time Sat astride the gash of bed and let herself Pull roots wide as she washed hard upon red earth, In a spend of lust, Now requiem. Come this tangled scream of roots Muffled in the layers of earth Till buried sounds are silent to all But the worms That crawl slowly by such flesh As too is covered here Waiting for rains to come again And stone holds unforgiving To the hem of mantle Listening low For thunder to begin And even Angels Pause. |

Her familiar is any woman who might know life... but she allowed you a glimpse, and your have memorialized her well... Now, she is almost yours. Hold out your hand... feel the grasp. |
