Those vowels entangle me
Caressing, cradling, long letters
Warps and wefts, black threads
A minimalist embroiders dream.
And the soothing oval of his opening
closing mouth
Remedies my holes with speech
those worthy of only kindliness,
that fill me with a ringing ease
your own capacity to home me
peering back
the lethargic letter rests,
lay your head!
on the inside of a hip
an elegant line -
the crisp of the middletone
whom makes the soft heart notes
go sensuously through,
the cutting dark consonants,
thick ink fishtail
the curves and kinks
and, as he blinks, subtly,
its like his lashes were feathers,
of twilight chicks half asleep
and he utters casual letters,
of a God sung script.
Oh how I wake in me wakeful sleep
I need the letters to breath, I need the letters to swim!
Are you still with me?
I can't live without your twigs,
your grammar nest and your breath blanket
branching out into little nerve endings,
a b-boat, a c-cot, a d-dorm, and an egg.
These syllables, these sounds
They are protecting me from the never ending loss of the centre.
Oh man who plays, the men who sing! Words, losses
Full of ease, at pleasure, at yours - open door,
bleeding speech, bending over... keep going
my little hut... your a boat and a parasol,
bleeding speech, bending over... keep going
my little hut... your a boat and a parasol,
and I collapse, sitting lowly, underneath
the caverns of your speech.
I will die if you don't speak.
the caverns of your speech.
I will die if you don't speak.
