One season
Threaded like solid fire about the skin
Brilliance when I shut my eyes, sensing my white brave
High bell, do you envy me?

One season
Cradling the unborn clouds in hydrocodone
The diaphanous form of myth-curls
To will her spires into my pelagic
Slumber in a breadth of pink granite, and wake when I remember you.

One season
Nativity, equestrienne circles
Meditating beneath an amber blanket
Forest whirrs as I sweat memory.
Columns of lavender, enshrine me in nude dance and heel.

One season
Acrobatic souvenir
The harbinger petals tucked beneath a prime march
Twirling sunflower, unite your cold roots, your clean head.
Chain me in your ardor.

One season
Leaving behind streams of light
Wherever

The author's comments:
I'd like to believe that the poem chants youth and the spirit of an old love that subsists within in my mind. However, the reality is that there is a comatose obtrusion occupying the seat of amour, and it only stirs when I experience a fulmination of stress, i.e. a mental breakdown. She relieves me when my veins surface for red light.
