I re-member Love's Body





I remember Love's body
what heart of soul was this
 you were twenty-one
I was nineteen
my child in your arms



Sitting in the kitchen
 Villeneuve  summer
going through the papers
ink blots all over  hair
long as a dog just as
straggled notice them as's
      'says Mary'
   leans into brushes
 shining glimmer happy  hippy hair

against my neck
 a neck is a word standing up by itself
'a neck is a beautiful word'
    that lets the mouth speak
reach over to its nearest kin
say I love you
I love you neck
all neck



what the h___?
lose
 you've lost
it all anyhow

 its love's body
 love
shyness daffodil
        raffle



 kidnapped by the hour
of its ointment
the ostrich of
 the long ball
hurry back assuring its
becoming   ebb flow
its rush   heart spell-bound
in the care of its  hour






it tilts
to your eyes
