Curve

hand cups a breast fingertips trace lips and thighs learning curves of love crescent lid of light In frozen glass marbled eyes penetrates Yoke, spills, dilates sun Noble thick mourning tears Drop, slip off a dome sky

This poem yields a wealth of interpretations. Many images that curve in dome like perfection lead to a final stanza that gives a natural resonance to the domes that sustain us. Remarkable writing. Congratulations! Brian
