Until Leaves Murmur
Two leaves flutter so naturally,
wings hanging free… timeless in a swirl
on the curving breasts of night. And they dance,
dance without talking
unto altitudes of orbital light…
Somehow, this pair enters into my
dazzled world as if to murmur:
“We are here, but not for a long, my dear
so you must learn our celestial song ,
unfurl your wings across melodious rivers--
come dance with us ,your beauty fills…”
And my hips jut out like an ensemble
of dragonflies, butterflies, fireflies
towards the same aurora, draped
on a grasping-skirt's embrace;
arms and limbs circling in shapes unknown...
while leaves fade into a hushed midnight call.
