you paralyse the plays of my flesh
for when we had been daisy fresh
as children. our palms gave out
over the roses and the granite of
my home, where you had entered through
night light and an opened window —i cannot but love your duvet dozingly cheek,
as it is with the days we lost where i was away
from you. a swiftly lined neck — that i would
peck with petulance and a prayer when it was
made fresh as the bed, (when i came home to lay close to you.)lucette had never died before: in a heavy cobalt covering
and i knew it too — in her virginal lashings that
our honeyed glazed hallowed eyes (seeweed eyes)
hovered over the arch of your brow. in medicinal sleep
we were welcomed by the wave from the deep
that took us away from your coaxing calls —but that i cannot but dream that
it would be made right again: your
alien's mouth mimicking love's trails
on another's empty throat: where i
had doted, rested a tearful cheek
not long ago.(12/03/2018)
