Rotation

I bid summer a fond farewell today Months have sped by and now it is Autumn Seasonal rotation will not delay What can I say? Mother Nature, awesome An Indian summer might surprise us More warm days would certainly be a plus Hibernation calling am on the cusp. Last hurrah before cold winter arrives Baltic conditions compromise the sun When old bones ache I ask: will I survive? Frozen ground, brittle air, icicles spun Long, cold wait until the season does turn Safe underground on my soft bed of fern Spring flowers uplift, silently I yearn..

Masquerade - Sensual Contest

Pretending can be a bold form of experimentation
and inventiveness. In pretending joy or happiness,
we may discover or enhance our capacity for it.

Harriet Lerner

Lord Leofric:  The waging of war is man’s affair
Lady Godiva: Then wage war in your way, M’Lord,
                       and I’ll wage war in mine

Movie, Lady Godiva of Coventry  (1955)


MASQUERADE

Quivers the man traversing the icescape.
Queen dominates the saddle with her eyes.
Size five, bare, narrow feet melt snowy floor.
Masquerade - his wife dreamy in disguise.
Flesh, smooth as ice rink, after zamboni.
Warm hearth behind the seven veils of d’sire.
Godiva tresses descend to her knees.
Bright red lips, parting flames, a flute of fire.
Singes where cherry makes contact...shivers
and moans like Winter Nor’easter through trees.
Memories malleable — tongue to ink.
Lobe, neck, thighs surrender to cold night tease.
Quiet warmth underneath the satin sheets.
His eyes wide open - concedes his defeat.
