a corner of the sky
holds a plum grey line
smoke smudged by a fingertip cloud
etched by a nicotine moon - rolled and wet
sliced and slivered, as
out loud silhouettes
call in the day - cover it with hap hazard haze
in random conceal all things
colored and thought beyond shadow
violet kisses
her mother good-night - indigo awakes
moves herself by starlight along the road leading to lost, winds
herself toward underworlds
pressed to paper -
layered by wood, bedding
with belief and musing herself
with twilight - mused itself with worded silence

ReplyDeleteWhat color and character you gave to twilight...
ReplyDeletecan't help but feel a kinship between the poem and the Millay quote here in the sidebar.
ReplyDeletethe lovely light of our existence, blurred into such a palette of colors.
reflective as a pond at twilight, when the stars are just beginning to wink into being.
stanza three is breathtaking.
