Cabin In The Sky
by Philip F De Pinto
Love of my life
And all previous lives
Speaking plain
The blood of all your yesterdays
Yet courses in my veins
As will the morrows
And I find my heart palpitating
Para-sailing over a lake
Whose smallwood face is made frenetic with my skimming
The stone which is reflection
And above the vibrato of it all
I miss your more than you know
But where does reflection skim from here
Given you've pulled up stakes
And are seeming not to care;
Thus must reflection court - embrace - make love to air
Which raises no objection to the rapier
Whittling in such - a face and nape
And neck and shoulders and arms and hands
And breasts and abdomen and belly
And hips and legs and feet lovely and essential as yours
And yes - my long knife longing and soaring
And brushing and honing against the ether
And dipping and gouging in the lower portion
A vagina plumb and winged and purring
And sweet and purloined and fixating as yours
For soul beat to make retreat
O'er which when all else fails
My heart skims - parasails a lake
Titicaca deep
Whose water is made holy
With your butterfly strokes
And blue with my weeping
