The lines of her hands had been born with her before the finger prints
her eyes had settled blue when she first opened them
the dimples came when she was a few months old
and her name was the signature of Artemis herself -
loved completely as she slept in the womb of women
loved abundantly when her cries of life echoed in the ripples of Narcissus's reflection

she was purest the moment breath came into her
and most peaceful when the last sigh escaped her ancient lungs

my dearest darling,
ce qui est à moi est à toi
and smell a flower and taste its sweetness and know that the world holds you in its belonging caress so that you are symbiotic and chaotic and live free and happily and loved.

She was surrounded in summertime.
Her name was written in the wildflowers and she was surrounded in summertime.

The sun is in my eyes,
she cries -
the girl, blind,
had looked behind to find
the yellow fire in the sky.
Her soul was lit but sight to die.

The sun, he reaches
every flowers,
breaches all the hours,

kisses life,
cuts like a knife
into the unsuspecting eyes
of nature's guise.

he knows no end
and no beginning;
envies those fickle stars and their fangled singing;
The sun is fire, surrounded in the ice
of ever nice,
solitary planetariums -

he finds and blinds
without reminds
that time and space
shall soon replace
his bright existence.

Sunrise
tells me that I’m alive
Sunset reminds me
that I lived

Fresh water and salt water,
do they ever mix and mingle?
Salt water sinks and the fresh water floats,
looking so strange in its segregation;
so dangerous to swim between.
I found out about this river somewhere. Strange and something?
