Canticle Of The Neck
by
Jé Maverick
Tuesday, March 30, 2010
Neck:
river of life,
thick vine
of sublime flesh,
volatile succulent -
your secrets
are Creation's
sacred crafting.
Pillar of the body -
soft bridge
of thought and soul,
of sin and reason,
prism of vibrant blood,
plain of awaiting
eruption -
I decipher
your throbbing codes;
your holy rhythms,
with an eager devotion.
Frontier
of the full blessing,
tender heartland - there are
no small divinations
here:
let me plough
the smooth fields
of your skin
with the plump song
of my lips;
let the breath's hot wind
awaken your
sigh.

Take care, keep safe, and stay beautiful,

With love and peace,
