From the book:
While Reading Neruda
Winter lies on my palm,
a secret too cold to keep!
He speaks to me in poetry;
delicate sand sifted through
fumbling fingers
of admiration,
the work of his mouth,
chemistry.
Sun's rays flicker
strobe-like
through
the boughs
as warm and certain
as his hands;
graceful fingertips
that brush my features,
like a blind man
reading Braille,
stirring them transparent
as sunlit
water.
I wake up beside my lover;
wearing verse---
like seashells around
my nape.
He reads to me of far-offs
where sunset shadows lie softly,
quieted
by a look of love
that holds the fabric
of existence in place.
