You come to me in whispers of dawn,
amber honey by spring morning dew.
The river of gold yields with grace. A
curtain-fall, god-ray ascension, split into
streams of auburn secrets, your silken
strands. (A mere touch is transcendent,
like well-wish kisses.) As one fosters a
lamb or wanders Van Gogh's fields, I
rise each day to glimpse at what beholds
my heart's eye. Pledge & scent my lips
with rosé. We live so that we might feel
the glory of your crown, the virgin dawn.
—circa August, '19
