Sorrow
A switch we pick by hand
Green is lighter
Darker leaving deeper brand
Sometimes it’d be more honest
To have all the pain beaten out
Spare the rod and you find other ways to store grief
There is ecstasy in many forms of relief
As I think of being touched, tears fall unencumbered
Surely to live without
A love well rehearsed
With no marked destiny
Empties the soul of hope
Keep busy and years will go by
Spindling days in the weft of your knit
Lift your head, remark in surprise
No longer wanting
No more remembered the fusing intensity
How it felt when we were the center
Watchful of nothing
Save the pleasure of music & movement
My hips creating circles of you
Our fusion, endeavouring tantric joining
Flesh to smoke
Curling into mosaic
Hair flung in silken entreaty
Measure and flow the symbol of motion
Quickening, relinquished, they do not know
How we set fire to the deluge
Marking pleasure in thrown pieces
A museum of moments, giving me
Your pomegranate lips
Open for me, this place of silvering eclipse
Only when I feel that drumming surge
Does life throb with meaning
Turning on all illumination
In the faces of you, as you catch
Your breath
Surprised to have surpassed
Even the dream
Digging your fingers into my flesh
Whisper illegible words of prayer and violence
Sadness flung to shadows
A redolent unapologetic stomp
On the glowing beast of memory
That had us repeating patterns
Like carpet weaver’s bound to their task
Eyes dry from staring at the repetition of
Under, over, thread, knot, tie, begin again
Til finger and thumb grow calloused and hard
No room for miracles, no sight for change afar
Break your yoke, release iron about your throat
As it falls, jagged pieces, heavy loathsome
Collar of habit, look up at mantle of stars
See the brightest? Follow her
“my hips creating circles of you”..yeah this is a great imagery.
Like crystal facets reflecting and refracting light of dimmed desire ignited.
