Cardinal

Lending strength stronger than sweet grass and
earthy smells dripping with ease; calm this trembling

desire.

Pulling together words so tender

in an imperfect moment; allow for the spaces
inbetween.

Smoothed sigh passing through open lips

and soaking gently in true night air; readily
exposed.

Striking eyes swimming in something unseen

pulled like rolling waves; drifting beneath magnetic
moons.
