The Trees
A word a mirror
A cloud of dust
A phrase a labyrinth
The minotaur its heart

Each thread I speak
Makes a tapestry
Or makes a net
Weaves a web of fallacies

But you
Elusive beauty
You saw into me
Into the dark
And how
Could I ignore you?
I should forget you
But there you are

My lips the music and the muse
My tongue the dancer
The tarantella and the trance
Your ear a boat
Adrift the sea
I hold the current
My Poseidon breath
Your elegy

But you
Elusive Bеauty
You saw into me
Into the dark
And how
Could I ignore you
I should forget you
But there you are

And now the smoke begins to clear
The image sharpens
The shadows disappear

I pluck a razor from the air
The x defined
I open you up
I feast

And you
Elusive beauty
You came into me
Into the dark
And now
I won’t forget you
Forever with you
Never to part
