Lover, it's bare ground between naval and chest. Just are a sunset's mottled pastels settling on your nightstand in chintz of gold. Tomorrow will have softer colors than today, pictures of children whose ecru faces stain a winter sky. Our Hansel and Grethel of bedknob and broom watch as the hour fizzles with bromide or ether or sin. Let it be a personal messiah, glimpsed and spiraling out of one thing; a star, a follicle, a window opening to a single tear that when touched...nails the eyes shut. Harsh the polemics of our sensual world, each fold a nub's rind, the nut and bolt that prattles in rancor. Only the bedpan, syrup and sheets. Only tomorrow slighted by yesterday. Only a sliver of lips mistaken for promise tricks ones mind into believing our sunset, at first, was but a blush in the corset of a rose. |

You layer so much within each line. I will come back again later today, to let more of this sink into my veins. Kacy |
