Pressed Flowers & Hair, Etcetera
_________________________________
Heart
Floats on words: waiting
Grows far sometimes
& close at other
Times
Shadow
Of the boat moves
As the shadow
Of time moves
Towards
Passion
Passion
Presses seasons
Into an immortal
Flower
Dry & sweet
Sexy purple
Breathing
Inside the book: life
A journey
Of searching
For a better
Word
No tears
No more
Fears
Those slender hands
Cut off a strand
Of hair & work it
Into the veins
Of a poem
Like wind
Embraced by
The sail
