Secrets
Do
you
want
to
know
how
this
feels?
Consequences
of
fire
drips
into
retribution
shellacking
my
flesh_____
If
I
Could
I
would
make
a
pledge
with
the
furies
and
for
just
one
moment
the
tyrant
could
be
me…
in
my
thoughts
your
touch_____
(brilliant
resurrection)
hand
to
mouth
in
hushed
eye___
veiled
kiss…
Your
passion
pierces
deep
into
…unfurled
soft
parts
of
my
being______
Twisting
and
turning
I
rise
up
through
the
mud
and
stain
the
light…
You
the
architect
of
this
vista
mouth
of
my
poetry
good
of
my
evil…
here
where
my
secrets
drink
the
gold
of
your
sky______
toward
where
the
echo
of
your
voice
swallows
my
curves
tasting
my
openings…
in view
of
this:
(where
my
syllables
undulate
to
the
tone
of
your
vowels)
_____where
the
velvet
shadows
bend
into
the
sacred
trinity
birth
is
given….
