startle
by Peter Humphreysin the
gentle
evening
breeze
the scent
of coffee
and your hair
mingle
in my mind
as slowly
as we kiss
and lie
together
on the
grassy
bank
beside
the river
overhead
a crane
flies
west
the crows
gather in
evening
mass
from tree
to tree
swans and
cygnets
stream
by
your hand
slips from
mine

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 06/14/06 at 01:52 PM Quite remarkable - I can feel the dream-like serenity of your mind and that moment's break in the continuity of it. |

I, too, love this series.
You are the sigh of a good-morning's kiss-with-words, Peter Humphreys! Your poetry mesmerizes!
