Liquid Suns

Naked women hide
_______________________ you remember
                                      ________________ glancing at the hyacinths
                            that are not mine
_________________ those dark eyes that have seen
                                                               your own self
                                      pleasing you to appear
______________sighing with the grasses
                        the stones unmoved
                                 _________beneath the blossoming branches
                                        
                                        her intimacy
                                       uniting all perfumes
________________________in deep breaths of innocence
                                from her velvet earth
                                                                that secret
                    __________and secluded place
                                                                        ____repeating silently
_________________putting voltage in the blood
                from that tender sheaf
                                                                her folded seam of dew that would open wings at night
_____________________at the entrance of the heart
                                                rainbow-soaked by day
                                 
                     ___________________of life’s absolute kiss in liquid suns
                                     hair entwined
                                                with the star chemicals
                                                                ___________of the universe
               
                    _____________________in fragrant streams
          that waver in the wind 
_________________________with the echo of a thousand dawns
______________________shining in endless quivers
                                                                          as you climb the clouds of wild beauty
                                  for their haunting shadows
                                                                          knowing they are her
