Patricia

Sometimes, at the edge of the pasture
under the eaves of trees, the soft
greens of spring slide through my eyes
and paint the curves and shadows of 
you to float like the bare-bottomed moon
settling softly into the grass out there 
where the sky is sliced from the earth
as clean as if by a surgeon’s scalpel.
