Loving this woman
Monday, March 23, 2009 at 12:28PM Loving this woman has two sounds.
One, high in the fast air,
played on a singing filament
scarcely heard
until the clear wind brings her to me,
buffeting my ears between slivers of whispered spirit.
The other a pounding drum
heard through her perfumed ribs and mine,
through debts and blood and fights,
through straps and lace,
long-kissed lips,
and ancient meanings in her face.
