diaphanous little hand

   Diaphanous little hand   
 placed on the guipure of the bodice   
 hemmed in shadow   
 ankle wound   
 swirl of memories   
 in balance   
 echoes without return   
 of restless hope.    
  
 At the Flora pavilion   
 the muslins evaporate   
 nostrils open to the smell of amber   
 minuet cut with a gavotte   
 burlesque spinoff   
 of a blazing fire in the fireplace   
 celestial mechanics   
 carrying his plume high.    
  
 The bells flying   
 surround the countryside   
 ahead of the wolves   
 Elizabethan strawberry blooms   
 the ancient fountain spirit   
 comma of a halo of tears   
 the men rushed into the pit   
 the branches rubbing their limbs in the crafty wind.   
   
 Diaphanous little hand   
 that the rain flakes     
 the dust of the road unrolls the wave   
 romance on the contrary   
 of a bruised night   
 condemning the child watching you   
 there against the embankment   
 to dispose of his feigned mother.

these birdsong

   These birdsong   
who accompany us
on the road
below our expectations
are the plain call
of our elevation.

Rainbow of this aspiration
to bring us together
to find our origins
reappeared mad goats
at the top of the rock of the offerings.

Even in January
the cool morning
bend the needy
under the fork of simplicity.
