Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Milk

MILK

                    milk like lit candle
               ascending
          the dark victorian stairs
     ethereal
ascension of an angel

liquid
     coats the throat of intended
          beams
               of light shoot out through her eyes

               spiritual
          duet of contradiction
     darkness
and innocence meet in stare

penetrating
     deep into each other’s soul
          diluting

          the contrast of dark and light
     shadows
that keep them apart
