The warmth of sun
Graces
Sneaking leftover pastries of wealthy
Chocolate milky coffee silkness across tongue
Glass latte mug, smooth on palm
Bubbly effervescence ale
Clamoring dishes, hearty laughter
His hand on mine
His eyes on mine
His breath on neck
Darkness around me
Leathers and blacks and chains
Deep bass pulsing
Electric vibrations squealing
Bodies smashed and circling
Collective roaring, thousands
Viking hair brushing skin, ancestral
Dancing body, drunken
His kiss, in haze
Papers, goals, shuffling in fingers
The sound of pen scribbling
Kitten fur velvet on cheek
Fabrics variety, costuming skin
Sliding on identities
Rough taffeta, smooth polyester, heavy
Vinyl
Eyeliner tip on lid, transforming
Wine, astringency puckering and calming undefinable terrors
Neon shadows furry desert dances
Fishnet leg over lap
Sunrise rooftop afterglow
Tiny gelatin circumferences, azure and cream
Resting in shamed and methodical palm
Odorous vapors rising in dry heat of trail
California sage, Manzanita holding
Bright blue contrasting desert dust
These eye portals
Eggy brunches and green tea
Cool shade air under pine forest canopy
A place of purpose, embracing
Until there was none
.
Ancient drumbeat earskin
Elders voices tendrils re-minding
Diagnosis aura crumbling
Terror, excitement mingling
Sweaty bodies lodges, chanting
Kachina dreams
Re-membering
Re-membering
Re-membering
Letting Go
