Under an ebbing earth’s shadow
Breathing in a century’s mouldy air
I feel my cheeks become crimson
She sits as a mirror
Of desires and insecurities
Wilfully tousled
Tailored in twill
Holding a notebook
She carries herself in my mind
Like a student of arts
Or of architecture
An augur bewitching
Cognisance awakes in the bonfire
Averts the gaze in shameful negation
Intestines twisted in longing
For alignment of the observable
With the ideal lockеd and noumenal –
Calm, calm down!
Get over yoursеlf!
She’s still there: reminder of love
Aching with shivers at its dawning
And how special it is
To be submerged in her sight
And tentatively kiss…
I build myself in her image
With velvet skin and watercoloured eyelids
This body is no longer granite
A vision of lilith
Overtakes me and whelms me and
I’m so happy
I’m so happy
I’m so so fortunate
To be falling asleep in your arms
To be at peace with it all
