Molten Marble
by Glenn Currier
New Page 1
The April blush of redbud
and juicy green of elm
smear of Monet and young hope
leaning eastward with Bois D'Arc
searching the landscape
of our imaginations
for our first home.
Warm summer days
of making love
exploring crevices and curves
mining our minds
sorting our feelings.
Carpet worn by years
of my footfalls on hers
cleaning clothes
fixing dinners
serving visitors.
The everydayness
of our love
molten marble strands
separating, entwining
never cooling quite enough to set...
04/08/2003 Author's Note: Last night my wife and I watched the romantic movie, Bridges of Madison County. Later we lay in bed shared our images of our 33 year marriage. The above is part of what came out in that sweet moment of intimacy.

| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 04/09/03 at 01:54 AM 'never cooling quite enough to set...', well, it will never if the associations are positive, umpteen and intense. The repetition keeps them reinforced which in turn keeps them active and alive.
