touch hands
beginning and end
touch hands
exchange of gifts
in supple complement
strong and gentle
flowing firm
wildfire quickflash
long leisure lingering
fingering each the other
one another one
an other one
interchange in touch
nets tangling
letting go
untangling
trusting in between
letting go to leap
to fresh hold
energies radiant in
intersecting ripples
tingling glow
spreading everywhere at once
focussing there and here
diffusing everywhere
lives intertwining
pulses harmonizing
synchronizing
in delicate dynamic
of anything but homeostatic
balance
Nigra sum sed formosa
morning of all souls
dia de los muertos
moon two days past full
Adam in the back
baking (this day) our daily bread
Our Lady of Guadalupe
shining on his back
black and very beautiful
horse-shoed with black roses
glowing turquoise ultraviolet
under the black light
radiating the racks of loaves
Adam of the Beautiful Woman
taking a smoke break
on the top rail of the back of the bus-bench
under the too-full moon
thick black hair bandannaed
waist apronned in white
smoke curling past the moon
arms naked to the shoulder
dusted with white
swirls of black hair
gone back into the black light
spring sunlight
this morning early
birds singing merry
spring sunlight softened
with tiniest droplets of floating rain
half an arc of rainbow
rising from the south
arching over the forest
where you are
shining from the gray-grey
layers and gradations
of cloud and mist
marking your presence
masking your presence
the rainbow
promising your presence
for the tiniest moment
then
like you
gone
dissolved into spring sunlight
and bright tears
stardance
mysterious fairy beacon
tingling telegraphic current
invisible appeals, soft touches
little hands pulling and tugging
homing in on fragrance of delight
electric thrill of the far-known
riding rising warm air rafts
lifting deeper into promised meeting
skyriver stepping stones
warming with the warmth
delighting with the delight
letting go now catching
surfing the wind's soft shears
wild ecstacy shining
rivering stars deeper delight
tasting the light warmth of night
