A rhythm overflows the grief
moment by moment
rocking melodiously
words humming like velvet
soft like the rain on a spring day
soothing her head
surrounding her wandering mind
dissolving slowly like salt on her learned tongue
round twists and turns
creamy moving effortlessly through bendable tubes
soaking into new found places
squeezing harder
non lasciar andare
smarting palm against gripping-
breath heavy, warm and moist
gasp in cracked tones from far within
long, long, long
pressing, constricting
slippery and close
lips move slowly along open ears
touch gently
fall subtly closer still, yet again
eyes open, flutter quickly
passing over adoring breath
and wet lips
along the way loosened grip
squeeze once more
giusto per essere sicuri
flashing teeth in sure smile
understanding dimple
fingers flow and stop to rest
eyes flicker to dancing pupils
stars swirling
open and see
colors playing in the dark
curl around feet and legs
tight and tired
collapse and laced comfortably forever.
