ALBATROSS (Inspired by a phone conversation) I know a girl, in love with the intellectual aphrodisiac, a named man, Yowser She adores the way he says "heliotrope, albatross" and words like bird A poet , She just wants him to be the next Emerson wild spirit, She just wants him in an exorcism In her space velvet at eight she speaks of light! energy! circles.. cycles of fire! she speaks of the sun-- golden This wonder! This genius! This soul sold to the urge of art and word And she tells the tales of when he touched the small of her back one finger .. one energy ... she tells the tales of their soul connection with poems of passion! With plans to bring him the gift of kiwis, pastries strawberries her soul. glowing eyes. lips to wool. hand upon waist As in their days spent in Greece. Ooh these plans for him! These dreams for him! These poems , these words, this love, this lust all to be announced with flailing trumpets, on a fateful Wednesdays On a magickal Wednesday with honeysuckle on her wrists and neck An infamous brown sweatered upon her breast And small braids stemming from her muddy locks and curls.
