wrinkles dark shadows in seaswept winds,
covering wild tethered prey.
Rain may loosen
subterranean secrets
spilling on flesh wings,
as wind whistles
and love strays,
fluttering inside another albatross day,
but, I stiffen in shadows, loving your
ghost
this way.

My Erotic Trailover 17 years ago...mentioned on the thread; "New Poems Review"
thanks for the literary journey (~_~)
unapologeticover 17 years agoIf I could give this a 10, I would have: the scale simply doesn't go high enough for me to express my admiration. It has everything I look for in a poem - the imagery was fabulous, the words were well-chosen. I even read it out-loud, and the way it sounded was just as beautiful. It made me think of Elizabeth Bishop's style. I'm going to add it to my favorites as soon as I'm done writing this comment. Thank you so much for sharing it.

it is our hope to keep them down
the sullen swollen earth takes it all in
brooding to a time when whatever
casts out all our old memories
and dental records are our only identity
rain purges more than dirty creeky bed
look to it forward to start us again anew
