One Thing Too: Margaret Saine

THRESHOLD OF A DARKENED WORLD

HAIKU [9]

let the daylight fade

and night fall: I want to be part

of your dreaming

when the ocean roars

and hills echo with murmurs

we shall move closer

flying through the night

a moth makes the air tremble

our dreams start rustling

from a darkened world

we quickly cross the threshold

to hold and cherish

I spread out my dreams

at your feet, open my heart

to your tender sighs                   

in the sheets of night

your bold body appears dressed

only in my gaze

bodies surrounded

by air in a naked space

open to the skies

the burden of words

our rosary of poems

holds joy and sorrow    

in the night’s embrace

unison bodies inflame

hearts nude to the touch

your invitation:

tell me or show me one thing. it doesn’t have to be profound. it could be visual or written or a combo of both.  it could be about your work; it could be an artefact or a glitch, a link to some film or tv show you’ve watched or a coffee place you like. it could be short or long. i’ll post it along with a link of your choice to your work or somewhere else. disclaimer: i might choose not to post if it doesn’t suit me.

your reward? send me your mailing address & i’ll send you something whimsical…

it’s dark out there this summer  fall/winter [since the election of that motherfucker in the USA etc] ; i think we need an injection of whimsy / duende.

so fire away. svp. amanda at angelhousepress dot com
