Foothills

i caught her
sipping honey
suckle flowers
drunk on autumn
memories but the

breeze that slapped
my face put me in 
place and my 
mind aligned
with her feet

s l o w l y
opening
eyes and 
toes every
thing was 

yellow

i took a 
macro to
a micro so
before me the
sands washed

upon her beach feet
as she seismically
wiggled just the
little if a finger
they'd say

pinkie
but she
knew not
what she was
doing to me or for

me finding a need
to explore her
colossus
form for
she was

gigantoid and i
was nobody
to the body
of what 
she had

become and so
her behemoth
more than
enough
held

me in awe but i
knew because
she would mis
construe who
i was and

crush
me

This is a piece of perfection. If we take time to truly explore the enormity of a woman’s being we can feel overwhelmed. Well expressed my friend.

Time should not be wasted but start exploring. Each landscape has its own topography. Beauty can never be totally mapped out, there are those areas left blank on a map; to be left to explore. Thank you Richard.
