the veil was flowing flowering
like a breeze across the skin
warm as light, so you anointed us
with periodic rain

softened surfaces of fresh
and inner corners, feline lapsing
liquid weighted, frogs speaking
like guardian musicians

permeated the ending day
with silk, like incense curling
darknesses deepening pools
of sandalwood and agar

brick walls were tall and solid
the house was made of wood
tempered by burning beings
blending tongues for shadows

the flicker of shapes, familiar
arguments were unresolved,
touching was being touched
and sound of crescent, salivary
