Urdhva Hastasana

Urdhva Hastasana

Salida del sol.

Her paws are bare

Ablaze against the black stone heat of the morning stroll

Pausing for the last monsoon, whispering

Salut?

There would not exist consequence for a dampened nose of pusillanimity

Carelessly drawn to the astrophysical realm of celestial bodies

Illuminating the chivalry once more.

We'll sing chansons

Oh cabaret!

The circumstance and pomp eliding

Lavishly rouged lips from sterling glances

Exposed by the slow and sultry raise of copper eyes

Premeditated, so that they lift in perfect timing

Beneath dark lashes to seem accidentally mesmeric.

I still lose amethysts

They drop from the back of my ears unexpectedly

Their plunge of contact against the water

Catches my attention but no more

Of a thought should surface except to surface

The stones from the depths pooling around my ankles.

The rain won't drain and hasn't for months

She scratches her hair but the pining never stops.

I rub her ears so she'll display such an ardor

Revealed in company and solitude simultaneously

To be weighed and doubted and accepted and declined

Beneath the stony gaze of the eyes of a god

Swindling a wrinkle in the shower curtain.

Alas what a shame it is

Besitos aren't quite fancied here.

Ne prennent pas garde aux berceaux, Que la main des femmes balance.

Puesta del sol.
