what is the color of your love?
what is the shape of its melody?
your face is a silken flower
a mirror’s moist reflection
red hibiscus, sweat weeps from August’s hair
your green fingers, twisting vines of ivy
your absence burns me
the form of your body is branded in my dreams
my mouth begs you, consume me
tear me in two
I am a melting flame, I am a burning sea
firefly breath, orchid silence
riveted by night of pepper and torn stars
desire shorn of its skin
peel me wet and tender
December steam, August ice
I throb with hunger and need
violent unwinding, I am a top spinning backward
gyrating, glistening jungle
black perspiration on a beetle’s shell
skin of a whale
hot soil, cold sky
a ring hugs the finger, a chest in its suit
a tongue craves in its cave
I wish I could fit in my four-cornered box
turnip limp and cadaver blank
but mind throttles, crescendo whirls
clear as rum, slick as gin
black snake slides into the creek
blood orange, white pear
fingertips pluck string, palms cradle wood
I relinquish myself in drink or dream
clenched ankle, clutched wrist, shattered glass
singed hair, flexed toes
make my overtones vibrate
crickets rub spindly thighs
seared by song, sliced by strings, drowned by flute
creatures merge and separate in the night
what is the shape of your love?
what is the color of its melody?
