Scratches
how can you catch a thief
if you feign sleep?
Touch not her fingers
ice may break.
who can fathom her love?
i am blind.
she bleeds on earth
period of rose.
fireflies shimmer in the night sky
moon on the pond's surface.
her breasts swell with milk
under the earth.
shadow lets her go
a stalker.
the odor of her navel
perfume for soul.
i saw in her nakedness
shadows flickering.
keep your windows open
for frightened ghosts.
flower is a flower
if it wilts.
feet shuffling down the hall
night follows.
