haiku
breakfast love
.
like a river i hold close in my arms, my body
your run through me — a quiver
of arrows and slings stroke my limbs, my mind
like stars plucked for your eyes to startle me
a name stammered and chimed — a sound
surrounds — a kind of grace escapes
.
i’ve lain down in moonlit thoughts of you
awoke to the sun of your skin and fingers
taunting the morning with stolen scents —
of your breath as breakfast, love
of murmurs of bees stirring my hair
a dapple of flowers gathering
over a slither of summer heather
over darkened hills, a moan, a chill
a gasp of lemon-dazzle glints blackening
the shiny stones of you blinding
me to other
worlds
other landscapes
other loves
drowned out
.
this is my sorrow, my secret, my dove
the rain in my mouth announces it
no other
hears it
as happiness
swallows
.
not a haiku
