Hellenic Flesh and marrow Raphaelite form painted into life. Honey hair slipping through the vees between my fingers like sand conch-white skin You blind me like the noonday sun. Enveloping— body wrapped in body— ocean and sky meet at the horizon. Peel my skin from me like an orange. Apple. Heal me with hands upon thighs Stitch my ragdoll body together with the sutures of your kisses Stuck by the glue of lips Raise me like Lazarus from the valley of death from the orchard in Eden and the shame of skin Reupholster me like a dinette chair. Vivid as the Sistine Chapel your hand outs t r e t c h e d toward God I find you in pumpkin seeds scattered like tears on the floor of my car. They were yours.
