Published in Issue No. 10 ~ January, 1998

fingers
pin me
down
beneath
spring letters
spelling yesterday
and tomorrow
with a kiss
walking
my parched
winter lips
 
thigh clasping
arches
capture my
marionette hands
submissive
to your gifted
alphabet strings
 
you are
etched
in cement
of my warm
woman flesh
though absent
from my indigo
aural visions
