Appalling heart

Fotografia Olho de Gato

City stir—wind on eardrum—

dancewind: herbstained—

flowerstained—silken—rustling—

tripping—swishing—frolicking—

courtesing—careening—brushing—

flowing—lying down—bending—

teasing—kissing: treearms—grass—

limbs—lips.

City stir on eardrum—.

In night lonely

peers—:

moon—riding!

pale—with beauty aghast—

too exalted to share!

in space blue—rides she away from mine chest—

illumined strangely—

appalling sister!

Herbstained—flowerstained—

shellscented—seafaring—

foresthunting—junglewise—

desert gazing—

rides heart from chest—

lashing with beauty—

afleet—

across chimney—

tinfoil river

to meet

another’s dark heart!

Bless mine feet!
