Wither, weary eyes
Come seek me here at high noon
Blind, in the sunlight.
------------------------------------------
Silver light sings now
Shadowing the night so deep;
Called, I answer.
-----------------------------------------
Down where mischief keeps
Its uncertain ***** laughter
I build my garden.
-----------------------------------------
***** and stick, the thorns
Growing lovely now, the leaves
Rarer still, the rose.
-----------------------------------------
Icy crystals of frost
Lacing the window like lattice
Fading in the sun.
-----------------------------------------
Whisper, quiet touch;
Your skin, soft and supple;
My world, beside me.
-----------------------------------------
Wheezing, hacking hurt
That torments me like the plague
Springs sweet gift to me.
