"Litany of Scars - Notes to a Missing Lover"

Dusk (Listen to the poem in RealAudio G2)

something in the dusk air
new
sweet pungent spice
nostrils awake

gentle grass glimmer
green carpet ripples
with the wind

perked ears hear cricket buzz
rubber bands vibrating
music

black curved cross
darts into moon
gull perhaps
speck of encroaching night

dark colours flare brilliant
almost touchable
blond edge where sun lingers
purple-peach weaves just above
a faery pillow

dew kisses
night - a thousand lovers
poised to return it

complete - earth stars air
in holy dance

grass tickles knees
spurs on to join
