you were summer skin
and the black lady whispered
to the hem of your her
when you danced the water

she watched your eyes
in my reflections
and said I was a river
full of lover and you wanted

more than a pond full

did my hands ache yet
like the sides of your dreams
when you couldn't sleep
during the tree climb day

when the woman of you
made finger signals with clouds
and freckle toes were willing
to run barefoot upside down

under the three smoke sky

There is a time
in each girl's life
where she eagerly anticipates
womanhood...

and a longer time
in that same life
when she revisits her childhood
often

even if under
a three smoke sky.

Your title  (and end lines) incorporates a lovely lyrical style called three tone effect, used so much by Dylan Thomas. Breathtaking and drew me in immediately. Thank you!!!

This is a great comparison -- love it.  I can get lost in your words.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Smoky clouds that take form into a vision of wonder and romance...Wonderful vision painted here that all may see...

me thinks the sky will glow long after the sun sets on this one.
