grasp and go .... on

i steal wonder from things
thiefed from transparent moments 

tucked 

between ancient vermillion hands
hummingbird to honeysuckle
butterfly on blossom white
small drops of water delight

from copper to cut

silverwonder presses down-down upon fingerstips 

stretched -- raised 

in rebellion to distant moons 

how can this electric thread be tamed? 

can this tempest be soothed? 

sun dripped through to spectrum's bone  --  

eyes to hear a cello's lowing pull 

ears awash with a thousand colors 

September smells of important things 

and 

the taste of wind docks upon my tongue 

as lips blush in constant anticipation 

breath sparks fire shadows 

to light to light 

heart's thunder thief 

stolen 

tucked
reeling
in 

this
