Reading by Moonlight

image; monhegans schoolteacher 2004 by jamie Wyeth


dappled moonlight shines
on fluttering words
turned translucent 
with drips and steam
stars on the horizon 
blink knowingly
onto lavender snow
the outsider looking in
the insider looking out
we are shadows
on the pages
deep inside 
we see the truth
of ourselves.

resurrected souls

we are the resurrected

so high we are heavenly

with clouds below

and stars 

so bright we shield our eyes

feathers of swifts and larks

flutter against our cheeks

pecking at our hair

delighting in our waywardness

rainbows arch below

helter skelter

we slide as fragile prisms

fly-by-night raiders

of lesser souls.

Today I saw my first swallow of the year..flying over the garden as I dug into the earth planting herbs...it was magical...

the picture although by Kazma Petrov- Vodin reminded me of the fabulous Stanley Spencer, hence the reference to The Resurrection....xx 

Woman with  a towel- Degas

Powder Blue

wrap me tight
in your arms
pull me close
so i can see the water
drip from your eyelids
robed in powder blue
and lilac
desire perfumes the air
mirror mists reflect
our messed up lives
don't wipe the surface yet
lets stay out of focus
for this moment.
