Short Sinewed Poems

mohair grips
as certainty slips
away beneath the covers

blanket
heavy as sleep
recedes
sinewed lovers

breath
escapes blush lips
sense
fingertips

hush
touch lingers
caressing
fingers...

Youth's sure, sinewed fire of limb and gait,
Reside not long not tarries late.
The unetched silk of fair Morning's face
Dons so swift a different grace,
As boastful Dawn must e'er defer
To the granite reign of Time......

a puzzle of rivers and ice
a dead fish dances under a witches` dress

birthless you are an ancient fir
forever you are salt and water

the door is now open for a moment
pull to the higher ground, free of snow...

wiry wily

beginning to end

spirally spiralled 
wriggly and roll
wiggled and wavy
like a zigzaggy pole

snakey and snakile
like an old twisty loop
sinewed and mazy 
or ouroboros hoop

so anyway a snake

did I mention a snake
