You stand where the wild wolf roams
yellow eyed howling at a hanging moon
licking the last drops of lamb’s blood
from burnt and brittle bone.

You speak to me in runes
a forgotten cypher of lost tongues
between the dragon’s web & the
witch’s lair where dead love’s born.

Now my dreams are fraught with
stranger’s faces: their hands caress
our stolen secrets in a room I won’t forget
until I lay my head again on love’s bed

& let you croon a Celtic love song
softly touching spirit’s height
we magnify a field of dreams
through black & lasting night

our only hope for wild love.

Tree buds gleam from
winter tree, frost born
now acid new

wind ruffles young
corn like a lover’s hand
sky burns major blue

rape fields floating
yellow on skyline
kaleidoscope of life

recurring & recurring.

Dog chases butterfly
a pup’s first notion
of the sun

helicopter tail as she runs
on warm earth sniffing spring
promise

vibrating harmonic of
young sap rising.
