   Chastity Undone.....Part Two

and that was all there was to it.

You took me back to the place
where I started in moonlight
that had pushed me and now folded me
in the cobwebs of the corner of the hall
as I climbed my girlhood stairs with my woman.

And I slept with her for the first time
naked under cotton sheets
and I felt the wealth of something
new and opening that I knew
measured my becoming.

In the morning
there was a tremble in my hand
as I touched my tangled tresses
and stains of green tinged my feet
as that dew-damp spell broke
in mirrored fragments
across the rose carpet
where sun laced towards me
in the provocative movement of time.

I felt your brown eyes still
moving across me as I looked
to see what I had become
and saw still the rounded belly
of a girl waking blurred
and imperfect with stretching circumference.

But there was a difference
and I felt its unsure steps
that moved me forward
when what I wanted was to turn
and run   run    run
back to the porch swing of safety
where this dream was born

and I would never be again…

Martie,

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful as Lawrence Welk would say. I was kind of waiting for others to jump on this. I knew this morsel couldn't end where it was left. I dropped you a e-mail but I'm about to send another... Let you in on my life a little. We're back in WA. checking for land, watching the kids, getting a new RV transmission. I tell ya where is Marge when ya needs her. I have to tell you "part 2" is outstanding. We have an upper sun deck I built with a porch swing, we sit and write there often. RJ loves it as she likes  to dream and too likes the cool. By the way does the saga continue..?

Well...I am a poor stand-in for Marge--but nevertheless, here I am...

This poetry pure...reads so sweet and easily, and still...went down like liquid fire...I am awed.

Martie, I don't know how I missed #1, this was unbelievable. I felt the yawn of the past emotions circleing you in these words.
Must find number 1. Bravo Martie
