today
we traveled behind rain
you wanting
to find the way
nightwards when
sleep fluttered milkweed
upon my lashes
and where
the north panther
lay down again
its thunder
today
we traveled behind daisies
hiding tormented
tree stumps
unfathomable .
down wrong turns
me wanting
to roll in the hills
the tremble of
birthing winds
bouquet .
today
we traveled behind lake
your veins
like pine tree roots
the meadows
of your hands
abduct my flesh
drenched
to stretch sun
into storm .
today
we traveled behind rooms
you wounding
the ghost
riding corridors of
your world .
me seeing
a nightingale naked
eclipsed upon
your lips
where petals stain
over a Two Hearted River
this is the strangest
garishly glorious
life I’ve ever known .
“Garishly glorious.” This is life for sensitive souls. Thanks for sharing yours, deerest one.

Loved the stanza we traveled behind a lake, especially your veins like tree roots. Visual and tactile in the same breadth.

This reminds me every time I stop looking so hard, or pointing out the obvious, that I’m falling in love– spiraling out and passing through, never landing, drifting past fireflies and turning skies, in and out of shadows and eyes. I love the wind that drifts through the places you’ve been, Meg… following…
