 The Write Stuff vol. 7

How to reach her

Think of her when you're dreaming
kiss her eyelids when she sleep-murmurs
make a cup of your body

gather and weave her a braid of flowers
see her likeness in every bird
bring her the depths of a sky in storm

and make the sun shine
when she is cold
hold out your hand

and offer her
your palm
in which to write her lines.
