long time nomadess on this planet gifted with word joy in reading and speaking and writing and listening and sharing over spaces in days and nights...


p o ’ m s
crisp as porcelain
let them drop by chance
and they splinter into fragmented letters

p o ’ m s
fresh as linen
inhale their fragrance and walk with them into orchard mystery gardens

p o ’ m s
lewd as whore’s nests
press your body into their divans
and roll in flesh and sweat and husky voices

p o ’ m s
naked as steel doors
pass thru their linking hinges
and cut dreams into portions wrapped into papery gauze

p o ’ m s
hovering as rainbows
let them arch secret and unbidden
over opaque vacancies forgotten in horizons

p o ’ m s
hidden in brain webs
brush them aside with inquisitive hands
and they reveal voids slipping into memory caves

p o ’ m s
come and touch
let them lure inadvertently into depths
without signs of escape

p o ’ m s
are things of filigree web stuff
made of tinkling laughter in faraway palaces
of spaces lighter than air yet dark
