.
In looks she fingered—
Splitting hairs with innocence
And darkened the night,
How I drowned in that air,
My breath was carried away
In the song of her voice—
So sharp with itch and sooth,
Diving into drink, divining
And all I did know were stars
Swirling in a void so warm,
Cast in a coral sea of joys
And whispers and the moon
Faced me, beaming with light
As all starry suns were like her,
Eyes, asking for love.
