Within Her Eyes

Obliging black arms, their crooked
fingers cut freezing as they
reach for winter greys, blues of sky,

untouchable. Shaking, bending.
Mulish winds sweep lands- violence
loved, admired. They are framed


within my eyes green as last summer's
carpeting, where the trees were rooted.
Embroidered. Weaving native 

life. Earth milled, the purest white 
hush to lull. Charming. Dreamlike.
Persistent as memories.
