Spiral Muse


Joyfully glittered tresses and dirt caked cuticles scramble onto the spiral path. She feigns rabid dog,

While harmless lime armies reign conveyor belts, no sign of march, nor heart, relenting.

A lioness in pearls lays, lengthened and propped, coiffed and coutured, enjoying perfumed fine furnishings. While secretly starving, she patiently reacquaints herself with the depths of her den.

A rising in me rinses my face clean like a Mother with a wash cloth, delicately deepening my tender experience.

The late night cars announce themselves below my window in a discourse I digest. If only they would remark back to me, or if only I could speak their language,

this Love might be witnessed.

The crest of a wave with a wish seizes skyward, almost breaking free, only to resentfully recoil back into the vast container of connection which created it.
