1 panorama, hopscotch face in a crowd, here then gone butterscotch, spring 2 a wink and a nod early morning petal beads prickly heat, dew 3 two sets of brown eyes focus, aperture, quick flash undulating sun 4 infatuation: dry mouth, smothering air just before the breeze 5 fingers chafe flesh splayed hands digging spiky hair midnight: tapered lit 6 here and there and there finger imprints gone too soon night fizzles, full moon 7 empty bed, white sheets how to preserve the scent of you? sink to sheet white snow |
