damsel dressed in fibers of vetiver
opalescent diode foliage-green shining
performs in solitude
against
the bark of nevermore
performs in solitude
against
the bark of nevermore
hold fast against my sternum
your hand warms tender the fragility of
this unexpected illumination
Keep it there ...
shelter the sorrow along with the falling
spark the weary lost bones
spark the weary lost bones
shatter the ampule open
smell our verdant delight
of this passage
of this passage
rest your hand there
always.
always.
It is home
