A Fleeting Moment Of Shifting Perspective, Glance Of Insects, Bi by Tom Goss1.
drooping animal eyes made of
wildfire
forested heartbeats
spun into magma seas
of future regeneration
carbon crisis kindling
awaiting
extinguish me
with the balled-fist
of the angry present
2.
awakened
morning dewdrop
universe
surrounding us
pillars of infant dust
coalescing
sweet starlight kisses
arcing over the meadow
as we race into
the smoky twilight
barefooted
and aware
3.
I spoke
to your body
with only my eyes
cardboard cutouts
of childhood
softening in the rain
a simple gingerbread house
inside my head
a rippling pond
thirsty with relaxation
orgasmic rings
easing into oblivion
as we touched
and told our skin
everything we ever
needed to know

Posted by Rebecca Andre on 10/12/20 at 01:03 AM some wonderful imagery here that sweeps one away.
especially enjoyed:
cardboard cutouts
of childhood
softening in the rain
a simple gingerbread house
inside my head |
