to orbit in a merry-go-round of purple plants, herbal and wanton wild on a tumbling river side, tears of spice freckle palms of coiled leaves, stem for stem, translating grasshoppers’ walks into butterflies’ ballet. and swooning waves confess the language of art and geography, of how tumbleweeds smell of myrrh wet fingertips paddling foggy eyes of late afternoon’s breath. the seashore awaits its bridal veils, those that anoint balms of bubbles’ fins: for these twinkling mists well up the ladders of bedridden leaves reluctant for now to greet the smiling strains of purple dusk. and in their own knitted roots, east to west, garments of sand arouse flesh and marrow awakening a pirouette of sea urchins, shrubs, silky shells to illuminate vials of near night pleading with both pleasure and patience… out of nowhere, the bulb of a gregorian voice
chants a psalm, let there be light! nenette

You really are a master of the language of art Nenette, this is always proved and this poem is like a diamond necklace sparkling and precious. My soul can hear the chant of that psalm. Gorgeous poetry my friend, thank you. Ulla xx

Such a peaceful flow to this one, Nenette, a mixture of sense and smell, just a great cocktail for the poets heart.
Great writing, as always
