language crystals
carefully arranged
fly out your eyes ~
soprano windows
ajar
like an orderly mess
of letters and sashes
grass strength
murmurs moon mantras
slowly through your veins
to curl like syllables
in a metaphor,
mouthful of sunrise
at dusk -
that is what we call
love
as images walk
calmly through your
red melody
exploring every meaning
