Notes About The Poem
Kai Michael Neumann's Contest: Afterglow...6 Apr 25

Sutra Afterglow


Sails an evening when breaths lay quietly
         On obscure places fluid as winds,
Where afterglow  of joy becomes a
                      hammock
lulling frayed veins with lemongrass tea.

Sails an evening allowing surrender
     its hypnotic intoxication
The exchange of matter and being--
A silent play of sutra glances
   heaving along red moonlit air,

as two palms ignite a charmed lure, 
     kama  passion pure:
          

For across the distance sails a glow of evening.
