Under the Crust

by Kristina Woodhill

apple blossom
pie of my eye
blush to my skin
smelling
your swelling
buds
I wandered into your
sphere

where
you cluster
so tightly

long
arms
wave
wind's bluster
aside

here I
hide

*

in this orchard
deliberately

i'm bound
to bloom

this year
i'll open
up

float
petals

in life's
tea
cup

invoking
my
core

*

slowly
grow
stronger
fed
all along
pure
pollen
by
pollen
bits
dotting
your
spingshine
kiss

lipstonguewords
vibrate
because

of this
earth's
steady
buzz

It sounds to me as if Spring has Sprung somewhere in your heart and I hear a song which tells the story.

"long arms wave wind's bluster aside" -- especially how you lined it -- is a marvelous line in a remarkable poem.

Magnificent capture of Spring, your flower persona...excellent extended metaphor!

So this is how Spring affects you--a sensuality to be savoured; appetising poetry, the crust dissolving in my ears...
