Ghazal to Eve
Darkness winks above the treetops and swoops low
Wings brush by as I fall to kindred clay
Grey dreams evoke the void before He spoke
Eternity’s hand inside my chest: bones burning, breaking
Waking feels like being made again
Thoughts push shapes like mountains, blink into the sky
Lying in your breast, my bone calls for me
Lonely male in a soft red cave
Brave silence. No lines to say. Nothing’s been said
Each desire overwhelms my arms and lurching feet
Sweet peaches to lay at your sleeping form
Matching your blush, your lush skin, your curved arm
Disarming eyes like fish jumping from a pond
Instead of fading, ripples widen, strike, beget
Let me lead you to the softest grass
I will find the reddest berries, the Adam who will be yours
Darkness winks above the treetops and swoops low
Wings brush by as I fall to kindred clay
Grey dreams evoke the void before He spoke
Eternity’s hand inside my chest: bones burning, breaking
Waking feels like being made again
Thoughts push shapes like mountains, blink into the sky
Lying in your breast, my bone calls for me
Lonely male in a soft red cave
Brave silence. No lines to say. Nothing’s been said
Each desire overwhelms my arms and lurching feet
Sweet peaches to lay at your sleeping form
Matching your blush, your lush skin, your curved arm
Disarming eyes like fish jumping from a pond
Instead of fading, ripples widen, strike, beget
Let me lead you to the softest grass
I will find the reddest berries, the Adam who will be yours
