There blows here the subtle tips of change Eminent across my skin in fear and in tremble What was, breaks free in disassemble Images are bare against the trees My eyes slide from rope hammock to silken grasses The lawn, a carpet of green beckons romp and roll My face flushed hot against the cool of red and gold Smelling the fireplaces in the sunlit air Apples round and tart, more familiar…more My own hands roam the forests of a thousand treasures Lingering in yellow rooms of patient blooms And silver slips the tongue of playful afternoons Building decks that connect a tree house to a tall ship Climbing ladders with vigor and sport Laughing in the face of snag or bored retort Clips the seed pod to Pinocchio’s nose Shedding feline furs, the weather purrs, as I am in dispose And honey glistens on the branch, like slippers for the soul Beads of sweet dessert, a wild berry wine…and blows here in offered red The very best of what was not, and still unsaid And now…a plain review somehow…will settle to the floor A coverlet of light and lore…and fuller than I was before Copyright Kkh 9/28/04 |
