 I carry my body, a worn recital of death down the sycamore paths I cherish, this peculiar arithmatic of distance, divided on the page in sage and fragile moments, so much grey muslin among its wan folds, fades, the way eyes stray from the passages of the 23rd Psalm and eavesdrop on prayer, lean hands shepherd this cruel beauty of celluloid moths imprisoned in the pews of memory, and night comes into me like fever, seizes its likeness in a helix of lambwhite muscles, tic in the veined rinds of wingfolds, not of the body, alone but smitten in the trembling lips of flesh, my epiphany floods, its sap from the matted layers of black, beneath the faun-down limbs, rinsed in lavender, rinsed in gin, until what breath we are is shaken from us, in moments of barbed equilibrium, ...though I walk through the valley... an immaculate soft red clay clings, barefoot silks and muslin caked to the creamskin, trembling your shepherd hands harbor screams in their tearful core, these longing hymns arch the thighs and brim the mouth with song.

tic in the veined rinds of wingfolds, not of the body, alone but smitten in the trembling lips of flesh just oustanding Maree. What's past is prologue. |
