In the absence of prayer, light layers its thirst through the vein of dry hours, bellflowers of blood, flood the baptismal dark I hold, loosely under the clothespins of memory, red sumac mud laden with your scent, framed in maimed velvet and bathed by the rain's abandon, disarmingly grey, these whispers darken over my amber skin of cognac and suede, sways in the heartbreak cradle of your hands, as they beat the fervent evening, a lullaby vehemence burning for release, blood-wet and limber, the rock in our fey bodies, frayed palms pressed against glass panes, blacken in the flushed char of urgent moments, soothed by the coo of red cedar limbs, the violet traces of lifelines stand bare, as a lullaby of wings sing through the body, a blue raven laden with the cadence of my death, takes breath in the toll of bellflowers, beating at least four hours longer than love, and shoved into the liquid dark of prayers, as if it could be this way, always. ...from The Fairytale Journals... 2005 copyright Mari Laureano babygirLPress **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

soothed by the coo of red cedar limbs, the violet traces of lifelines stand bare, as a lullaby of wings sing through the body I loved that and also can not wait for the wee fey to be for sale. Strange how the absence of prayer, fills us with darkness, and therefore I sometime wonder if it is really there waiting to be summonded, and we need just ask to seek out the light? Anyway...yada, yada, I loved this m'lady NY. You do have a way with words I tell ya! |
