Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Chapter Seven

CHAPTER SEVEN
 


this seventh month… a handful of sun dust
greets my aurora skin, touching every
lace of foliage: buttered stems, blushing leaves,
soft-boiled branches with upturned eyes
silky in the veil of July’s palette
face. farther on,

i wanted to smell its rareness,
how my own raw eyes pass behind occasional
veins and wiggling ridges, wondering the
maleness and femaleness of their palms
receding then whirling underneath my
feet ,receiving the ancient chant of some wild
calm…

how intangible this soft fire in 
my belly, splattering like auburn harvest 
of wheat thrusting unto air
chambers of sun nymphet honored
in all shades---the emerald, garnet,
sapphire of paradise patch as if 
saved from the kaleidoscope of month’s past, 
slowly cuddling every sinner and lover the ember 

that feeds on harps and cancer -zodiac stones.

Cyndi Macmillan July 20, 2011 at 6:41 PM Nette, sometimes your work just leaves me in a puddle...melted and too relaxed and unwound to do anything but sip tea and rewind your words. This truly deserves the big win. Congrats! :-) Ummm, PS I wrote a tribute to Soupers and mentioned you in the title specifically ;-) If or when you have time, I'd so like you to read it. PPS- I used to be a huge loose leaf tea fan and after 2 years without finally purchased several bags from a place that reminds me of an apothecary shop. Spicey & sweet. :-)
