Light licks glass
searching for reflections
finds it smooth to shoot from


she tickles my eyelids
zooms in,

her wings bouncing
off rhododendrons

drinking insight
a thousand eyes of perception

gazing out from my veins
knowing her is nectar

calm like a kitten
purring in my ear

prying up thunderbolts
from my night sky stare
so I can look at them
from a clear distance

instead of being thrown down
  by their raging bull charge.

She lifts off- gone
carrying away secrets from a flashing garden.


I curl up
knees to stomach
wishing for the next life
just to hold her.
