Occasional Impressions

Gemini Twin

Night Air; a conceit

This cool caress has stroked the soil & grass
to press the vintage of their scent on to itself a
nd bathed in esoteric perfumes that
the world holds dryly in the suntime.

And now with myrrh between its breasts,
and spikenard on its fingertips,
this spiced bride comes
to run a moistened finger down
the sleeping thighs of earth.
