diety

walking toward the sweet reward of burned sugar and chocolate

passing scents suspended, fresh grass, diesel and fertility

disguised as a soft reflective cloud casting blue beams on pubescent fruits

soft skins of delicate silver veils and costume jewelry

her lovers and children circle for none penetrate her consummate stratus

or discover reclusive noxious molten landscape swirling beneath

breathing in her breath of silken ice, her legs wrapped around you

sweet and glistening pearls fall away and float in spite of physics

how dare I fly and walk at the same time?

Gravity knows no forgiveness, becomes enraged with such attempt;

but overhears laughter as I roll and tumble and roll again

for the adventure is journey and journey sublime.

As laws redeem themselves the wheel again is pushed, momentum gained

still I am laughing through an opiate glaze

remembering the freedom, running in the wind through fields or warm sand longing

on the very top shelf in the right corner of my mind dancing in flowing skirts

barefoot on hardwood floors warm of gracious rotations

surface never cool enough to be hospitable- but the sky!

Sky beckons and welcomes for sparkling wisps of promise (or promiscuity)

she can never love me as I love her, both her curse and sovereignty

beauty encapsulated, ever isolated longing to feel the imperfect superlative

sugar on my tongue and the slow country walk gracious from pain and habit

kissed by her stellar halo for I am of the veil of mist rising between the hills in the distance

from such valleys filled with magic flowers, stardust and mysterious tales of mythological beings
