This abandoned gravel road
Was once freshly laid
Ends at the root of all the everlasting rainbows
You walked upon me barefoot and strong
You brought the rains thickening the mud
Holding the lilies steadfast in a deep deep ache
Below the beauty of their show
I remember the long tendrils cool sweeping
Across my face and bare arms of the willow tree
Hair dragging in the puddle under the swing
I close my eyes and your fluids on my belly
Are a water snake skating across the still body
Like a dark shimmer cutting through the light
Holding still the trance
