eros

              laughs, lies back
on the bed, her left foot ankle
resting against her
neck vertebrae
 
how did she do that and
how can she do that and
walk?
 
this and that and this touch
of sheets, simple friction, cold
but then starts blossoming, long
 
                                  Sundot pinprick growth
 
summer at its tips, white
 
heat                          a daisy lays
unfolded. an open secret
the honey flees deeper
 
Tips against tips as when
the tow driver checks the battery for a charge
knocking the jump cable terminals together, blue spurt
flash between the tapping
 
 
I in another for a while, not caring
or minding
               freedom from mind
                              unthinkable
 
so what was it? I dunno
 
 
rawer, sunnier, hotter, touched but
other from - antelope quite wild,
as yet unnamed                          gestures
 
 
lope, lope, lope
 
 
ripping gulping
broken throat water fountain
high arching silvery lawn sprinklers
some
 
 
twists into mist, never comes down
