Spirits of the Earth by Peter Marra

spirits of the earth

breath captured slowly
/silently amidst glimpses of red
as a soft humming humanized entity
make its presence known
/a tender wildlife in female form

rising gently
/slowly uncovering
the soft skin’s deep sleep

neologisms required-
a description of solitude between
and a flaming within
/the brink of beauty

soft embraces of hearts’ violet
violent cravings friction removed

slow flames give birth to

a vapor skin crescendo

a whisper
mutual witnesses to
a drowning of time

the sorrow of dawn when lovers
must part and then tomorrow

science is destroyed buried
beneath the remnants of flowers

as we remain forever clutching each other

for a life together
