Body Acoustic

Rip mayhem-
Shrieking birds, waves of soft
Pink chattering, disorienting love

Sweet clinging rain-soaked bodies
Intertwined in deep earth chords

Vibrating my soul, cleansing my brain

Thank you, Thembi!

Your message pure, like hidden springs I
Visit in Northern Minnesota Forests-

Unspoiled

Everlasting....

The recent political contentions and hatred took a toll on me, too. Poetry became my only peace of heart. I love this poem. (...and hidden springs. It must be beautiful there. I visited briefly once as a young adult. It was the first time I saw a deer in the snow...beautiful!)
