Veins Poem by Richard Bunch

Veins

Rating: 5.0


That leaf is
worth your study on a star-pocked
night beneath
limbs
whose veins shoot
through unscaled sight.

Through them
you summon up your lives
floating through to a summer’s deep.

Some, bathed in outer dusk, crisscross
skies
as though surnames perforated
in blood, a milky talc,
puff of nothing.

Each branches
to make a past, crossing
over in a present that unfolds
vibrations of blue.
