So
from your hands,
I learned to drink the light,

a residue of dahlias
in their late summer blood,
rimmed white with the fluid evening,
the soul, some wild falcon
folded in golden lullabies
of nightingale acoustics,

eclipsed by the gentle pathos
of the body, shining
as I leave it behind,
crying in its dark thorns,
some forlorn fragment shudders
in the silver embrace you lace with calm,

as it laps
into that crumpled karma
and dreams it was once
a jaguar of dark passages,
held in the long hands of sorrow,
see, these clavicles emerge through orchids,

and a liquid resurrection
envelop the earth you bathe
from the fugitive gesture of wings,
so, it was in these black,
grim prairies of the soul,

where I
at last learned
to drink the light from your hands.

I want some of whatever you are having~~

(your turn of the word is always so creative...guess living a simple life around young children has left my vocabulary a bit stilted)

One of the most unique poems I've had the pleasure to read in a long time. I really, really love this piece. I can't wait to read more. Thanks for sharing this.
