A curve, not blocked with
color, rests within a pale shape
of a valley where I lived for many years.

The air smells of white willow
and Blue Cypress.

Smoky Mountain shadows lengthen;
no one hears the steel clamps
around my legs, I stumble, fall

and hold myself beneath
red checked kettles that pour
out a happy man's tears.

He is lifted above me;
there was love once, now a
bruised shadow lengthens

when blue shades
that finish lonely, usher in midnight.
we make love, until I sigh above a whisper,
and reach for the doves no one sees
except me.

I see so many interpretations in this, Penny...so many layers of knowledge and understanding.
