Saving the Ill-Defined Moment
Smitten air, with peppermint sprigs
crushed up in the mortar and pestle
Blue sun, holding an aura
which only the olive skinned beauties will see
Cloud drift, in shapes which resemble
an opaline map
Point of view
where only the ill-defined moment will be
First blush, apples on cheeks
gone pinched and rosy in love
Liquid sleep, under the sun
on patchwork quilt blankets akin to moth haven
Shadowed face, a movement gone cool
in the wake of a kiss
Afternoon gone, in cloudy mint apples
these ill-defined moments, unconsciously save 'em.
