Layered Fragments, Becoming Whole

Luxardo Cherry Drop

Flown in by carrier pigeon,
A small roll of parchment
Tied with red thread, a neat bow
Sealed with wax
lands with a flutter on the window sill
Of my sacred
Room
Unbinding the note from it’s little claw
My mind drifts to
Large hands holding fragile beating
Pulse
Sharing warmth
Before releasing wings
into the sky
Toward me
Anticipating…
A steady flight brewing
heat rising up my inner thighs
To spread through my chest
As cool wind wraps, settling
tensing the soft
melding silk slip to my form

I unravel…

your words
biting lips, etching
acid sinking
As ink pours
Stamping into
fluid mind
Pressed into wet petals

Plush
Layered
Skins

I sign my name,
And lick it,
Closed.
