Eloquence of Spring

From the  crispness of morning  to dusk 
when all boughs sashay to unfurl,
deepening the fragrance of airbrushed woods…
she will bask in  her own pleasure
on a carriage of  larkspurs , jays  in the shade--- 
while the breeze fondles  her hair
ripening the glow of early May, ablaze. 

Oh how she pulses more daring 
than  winter , not icy-white but pink, pink
like a virginal woman whose fertile seeds 
enter  my womb: that I drink from her
minty sup, luscious as Taurus’ nectar.

Until spring raises her hands...fluid, raw, 
loving; then, to explode into blossomed flight
through the language of time’s renaissance-- 
a charmed  way, basking in her own pleasure,
then to grant me the eloquence of god’s art.
