I live in a corner of your heart -
Blind, you meet my eyes
fingers flying
in abbreviated handspeak,
the air aswirl
with the sweet scent
of night-blooming phlox
I watch from the safeness of your heart -
Small winged beasts
flit
their long tongues darting
mouth-feeding and sucking nectar
pollinating
locust trees, weavers of magic
and loathsome
love spells
I touch the walls of your heart -
Hands set in amber
pale and pearly as desert rain
signal
along dark oozing pathways
burned now onto staring retinas -
(negative images
like black heat lightning)
and the world ablaze
in lines of Braille
I seek the warmth of your heart -
Inside unfenced shadows
midnight stories
read in tremulous voices
(thin and sour as desiccated dill)
chalk layers and half-kisses
open
with the taste of nutmeg
summertime, and hope
deep inside
the unlocked cage of your heart
Heartlightning
