Have you felt the thrum of
New York City – the pave-
ment vibrates –the air aches
electric energy – merging
into single breath -moving
millions together -ones, duos,
groups - alone and together
all as one coalesced thrum -
Have you felt that thrum of
New York City – impressed
concreted glory - lush as any
vined verdant jungle teeming
torrid lurching life – the energy
a thronging citizen – bustling
around the edge of an eye -
stop –and feel feet tingle -
palpable standing on the beam
of this sailboat city cutting lines
in the wind through the shimmered
water lapping its shores– It was
from here -from teeming, ever -
moving mass of thrumming energy
I took you –mere feather of filamented
notion secreted somewhere between
head, heart and soul and fled into the
palpable standing on the beam
of this sailboat city cutting lines
in the wind through the shimmered
water lapping its shores– It was
from here -from teeming, ever -
moving mass of thrumming energy
I took you –mere feather of filamented
notion secreted somewhere between
head, heart and soul and fled into the
soaring sky - dropping to calm - into
turquoise sea and spun sugar sand -
- in time to lay you as a
- in time to lay you as a
mother turtle secrets her
precious one in the warmth
of shore until you burst bundled
best of coalesced collected best
of thrum -burst shimmering the
of shore until you burst bundled
best of coalesced collected best
of thrum -burst shimmering the
frangipani calm – dancing into
open arms – against my bursting
open arms – against my bursting
breasts as hummingbirds whirled
sipping sugar from hibiscus blooms
and each day in splendiferous sigh
unfurled – you my urbanot infant
thrummed
peace
love
life
love
life
I saw this elsewhere I think but can't recall if I commented ... it's been that kind of crazy-busy lately. This is wonderful, beautifully told, with just a hint of wistful between the lines.
