Oh Summer Oh Child
my heart lies with pine needles
in the moisture of a once well explored forest.....
bleared in a moment
thin maybe of your throat
a voice (yours?)
constricts and pills
webs and filigree
damnation of belief
styles fragility
coated extremity of winter
pardon my father
takes me his absolute castle
my heart lies with pine needles
in the moisture of a once well explored forest.....
hands surety
protection gentle strength
meshed in
atrophy oh wonder
daddy’s eyes were grey
pooled-grief-red-alone
trilled precious precocity
he showed me squirrels
that old marine my dad
found me ponds
that warrior oh soul
gave me a wealth
I have rarely exploited.....
my heart is this
needless nowhere
adorned in lavender
adored
by sylph
oh forest oh father
