far away through the antique doors

smaller then the

world

in the eyes of

a child –

hardwood floors

and shadow walls

warmth in a naked

sigh –

dolls, they dance

inside night

inside alone

and eyes

in wide color depth , they sing

whispers inside light

sky on a smaller window

fall

quilted sheets

and hard naked sleeps

a man between a

fingered dream

wrote a play

and no one came

and she sings a

lingering song

sweat behind her ears

and lines beneath her eyes

to mark the years

who is counting

why

a hard skinned woman –

younger then the

memory, the memory drifting by .

does she love the single name

the dance of window caught rain

things that stay the same

and deeper

or

do the long desert winds ,

riding off the rockies’ sigh

still so near

there in her dolls’ room

and its sky view ,

still hold

her name –

fingers through yellow hair

quick deep breaths

sweat and lace

tears of birth,

motion in motion

moments in rage

silent bodies’

scream –

for the world has grown in one

and a woman's body belongs

about in its child's

feel

touch within

never more

and yet

forever

do the lines hold,

through wind or air

through distance

age grows in her eyes

so ever tired

in all the distance and not

from all the running –

how quiet never is the sleep in

her eyes

golden in black –

her bodies mind

unthought

where all rational seams

lie quiet below

the calls of reality

dualities untorn

the child and mother form/

your eyes fall behind the

color of their dreams

within the silent screams

that are your bodies’

fall –

from grace

but into the sea

where each motion beyond

is a call to your

soul

in waves of touch

without light

morning is night, is morning

where the years of a child's birth

are moments apart

within the body of a woman

and rational thought

is wrought

second

to the liquid question of reality

tears heard deep in

her soul

from a child

in distance

as an arm within ,

twisting and calling

in its ever young /

in its closeness

in its distance

apart –

sweet woman

your eyes I see

through the tears in your

skin –

in reach for the sounds

you feel within

the sounds from

across the room

sweet woman

in tired unslept eyes

a child is slow in its ever

steps

out from the womb

of your soul –

lonely seas,

if the man

walks in pained distance

rather then, within

lonely seas

if the duality of

creation

grows unseen

; flesh torn from flesh

and a soul

which rages against a bodies’

depth –

of distance and touch /

are the fingers

of the man - who lives to her

side

alive in their reach,

to the duality of her soul

cold in the waiting - to belong - to child and self.

belonging in the fingers of

the seeding man

who listens

in balance

against her bodies rage

fingers, which hold
