quick and comely she comes
a rap rap rapping at your door
with a teething a whithering
barricaded out like stranger or a storm
she is neither and both and she is waiting

fingers lusting for your fabric or material
always already unfocused she is reminded of sunshine
and wrap around porches and books and noodles and
streetlights

kissed hip scars and ambling are a slow turning
turnstile of attacks against unassuming forehead skin
and skin of foreskins
the weight is placed daily and lately
a reaping and resowing
surrendering like daylight to darkness or winter to spring
a small wonder unfolding like foliage
each seedling refusing not to have a story to tell.
a culmination, really.

i fell for every word; i needed to initialize a new language to read this, and you had ample reference stuffed in the legends to help. there's a tremendous balance of symbolic abstraction, flush of feeling, hypnotic meter, and daring allusion. i might have to go back and check, but this has to be one of the very best poems i've read from you and one of the best by anyone in awhile.

i'm in love with it.
