"tenderness is the rope you bind yourself with here, and these knots are not mine, but yours to tie...or untie, as you will..."~he said. .................................................... So Bound yes, the long, cadmium shadows go out from the Southern bales, in a bed, borrowed, but smooth with moonlight, the Autumn bride, now of one body with the blackened earth rises on blue wings, loose out of this agony, all of my grace lies leashed and brooding in the milky noose of your silence, as it bathes a sealed throat, liquor among the quicksilver drawl and frailer now, among the heather, sulking, the moon like a dead heart, stills and no more than my ashes swell its brimming load, hands as heavy as memory, fold over my spine, its dark palms run sore paths o’er our earth, receding, the long cadmium shadows cast the scent of mink, sinks its pink, immutable among the Southern bales and mullein husks, we lie in the silence of lovers, under a hummingbird’s mantle of light, and forget, how the moon comes, to whiten our open bodies in a blue fugue, the soul’s bliss to its own suffering, so bound. 2005 (c) babygirLPress **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

we lie in the silence of lovers, under a hummingbird’s mantle of light, and forget, how the moon comes, to whiten our open bodies in a blue fugue, the soul’s bliss Mercy girl, but you do take the mind for a dance with your imagery. Lovely. |

"we lie in the silence of lovers, under a hummingbird’s mantle of light, and forget, how the moon comes," ~ now those are the kinds of 'ties that bind' that I like!  You spill softly evocative ink from your eloquent pen.  EA |
