I am from a table dancing woman  
dream skirts awhirl  
a desire  

I am from a hush-hush  
slipping past a french door    
leaving a tinge  
and a broken heart

I am from the night wail of the fog horn    
darkness overtaking light
quiet things creeping on sand

I am from the smell of marsh  
dusty blue smoke
of unwelcome morning

I am from a sly seed
hiding  
cracking open

exploding

Wow, yes you are!

This is so very special, I love it!

Just a peek into you, but so very "explosive"!

Love,
Margherita

If my "senior moment" had lasted much longer I would have missed this and I would certainly have been the loser.  Certainly a wonderful write.  Loved it all!
