Liaison

 



The chariot's lull
the Light quickly fades

the Sun setting wheels & words abrupt
a blanket of grit on cooling flesh

talk is terse of tongue-in-sheath
sharpened on a belt with purpled points
a diamond-cut shaft from the clinking strike

movement-as-discussion,
sublime in tentacled freedom searching-
the night has a mind of a million miles

the canopy strokes for the misting cleft
shadowed long as we    come
to the motor’s roar

& the exit wounds shine
a creaming shriek of gorge & sky
-from behind
as the bedding hums a ground of stars

eyes of the fox aglow
crickets chirping wills to spikes
stifled moans knock boots ’til dawn
lost in a sheath of hopeful t.witching

tongue & growl on a neck of moon
furious lay of sidelong glance
honey-tipped spear of night & mind
kissing a sheet of ice & heat,

motivation:

leaves in flight
for a blanket of Sun

the engine sighs
the chariot's Light.
