So this is love
at the lower altitudes of the deep South,
receding into Rorschachs
of charred pumice
and a sweet incoherence of tears

lodged in the blue membranes,
something of death descends
the dark end of a sullen spectrum,

and down in deep facets
I am led each night
to that drowning place, listen

to this white hot silence, listen
as the panthers come
to inhabit my lungs, muffled
in the dark throes
of this monster, the body, this miracle

of indigo tears sting the throat
as it tightens on the heartstems,

God, sometimes my body just breaks down, trembling...

in this, our wilderness
at the lower altitudes
of the Deep South,

a dark Sabbath descends,
though, in your eyes, I find
a threshold back into beauty's arms,
and so this is love.

...everything I write, I have learned on your lips...

"God, sometimes my body just breaks down, trembling..."

Mine too. Usually after reading such beauty as this.

smiling here, seems to me you have known that rare species of southern gentleman who understands the art of translation of the unspeakable delicacies of southern gentility.

Brava, dear lady.

I am so happy to come home and find you still here.

This was a rather touching piece. I felt this because I've actually experienced everything that you've just described...the true pain of loving...the tears that seem to incessantly flow...it's all very real. Lovely write!

Well now....If not love, then surely you've succumb to one of those famous southern "vapors" some Belles have been known to suffer.

This reads like a fever.
