smear the white juice
of crushed sunlight
over my breasts
the delirious milk of
...
climb an ancient mountain
coaxed by a dream of blue
rainbow sky emerging
...
make incense from the flowers
dance naked in the light
weave a blanket
fringed with stars
...
Remember when candy
was a god thing?

Licking Winter
could berry juice
coax your hard mouth
to fall in love
could sweet yellow light
relax your nature
could windsong cut
between the thick vines
of your wild sanctuary
could the colors of eden
murmur to your shade
and root out its harsh night
listen to the rustle
it's as if all the things
moist and sacred
are flowering in stone
