Secret Bloom

SECRET BLOOM

The seed speaks to your secret bloom, your quiet rose, your petaled room.

Slender temple, softness curling, such designs define your tomb.

These hollow hands breach hollow breast, reach restless places deep within.

Breathless bliss stirs all amiss, casts moony marbles ‘cross your skin.

The nectar heart, in cream arrayed, awaits the hour of stowaway.

Days are yours—for dreams, you pay . . . so play my sweetest flower, play.

Where the Cherry Tree Grows

WHERE THE CHERRY TREE GROWS

Where the cherry tree grows

In the green backdoors

Of the sandwich party’s hostess.

Bright aeroplane lights

Chase the doggies’ tails

Whose bow ties are the mostest.

The cat in the curtain

Hides away, hides away

While the skylights rain and pour,

And the records smile

And the doorbells chime

Where the painters paint us closest.

Narrow Passages

NARROW PASSAGES

so come on

down rabbit holes of glitter and grins

through indigo whorls and fluttering shins

chagrin and fins and cactus pins

to the puffed-up places where fingers form little houses

roofs with skin-touched tips and brushing lips

these little houses made for sweet, discreet mouses

breath-hot faces and untied laces

tracing routes on maps, sweets unwrapped

crinkle, twist . . . your wrist, my hand, resist if you can

narrow passages for eyes devouring eyes and sighs devouring sighs

and push and press—impress, obsess

these falling books with words unspoken, worlds unbroken

breaking, crackling crystals in vermillion skies

distant air thundering from the lung of some god disguised

crumbling glass bricks, artful lunatic

wiser, now that you know . . .

fibers woven slow

in narrow passages waiting for a wicked moment
