For a moment
you can see her—
The first spirit of evening.

Near the edge of the road
she stands
full-skirted in twilight
and chasing  wind from her hair.
Her  fingertips are light
as willow leaves brushing
time off the water’s scalp.

Quietly she bends;
her fabric creased
with the rhythm  of crickets,
her soft touch felt
by  the closing  eyelids
of each plant.

Petals fold up
drawing in
the coolness of her breath.
and  a spoken wish
to be loved
by  the man who wrote her poems.

His eyes watch,
ripen tenderly
in the blue mood
of plums and late summer.

sweetness
flower born
by buds

of visions
of in love

captured quick
on eyelids

completed
awes
apart

your lines of poetry
dart hope inside my soul!

filled with dawned
quiescence,
morning told!!
