on a street of witches, She arose ... #NaPoWriMo Day 5

Tulips at Washington Park




Queen flash and dip 
Goddess curry 
hurried little birds 
early morning 
sunlight reach 
arms out bare leaf 
to Spring flowering fruit tree
they sing excitedly
warm themselves
as undone 
as the bulb angels too 
clung muffles 
held against 
Winter leaving 
tiny trumpets 
reaching where violins live 

{inner movement outer movement encapsulated 
by chopping the metaphor into meted twos and 
calling it a love seat or more aptly love's beat} 

she said it most certainly does 
i spun myself into her miller's daughter's wheel 
eyes found gold, illusory 
given value beyond a smile 
the rain said to the tree 
wait awhile then shade 
the mosses and keep 
the frogs alive 

she went to write 
grimoires, armoires 
and endeavors 
and i went wile 
wild smile  
tending fire inside 
an earthen hearth 
eons waded 
cradled again 

here we are 
a book being written 
bitten with Winter 
a window tide 
pressed against it 
time, is felt fibers 
meshed a coming dawn 
still asleep 
while i sip coffee 
black as hair 
before sunlight 
catches me enough 
to be combed in too
