Marieposa

Sleepy stretching
Between sunspots
And star moss blossoms
Willfully
As foxes whisper smoke-gray feathers
Into my dreams

Puffed cinnamon dust
On a poem
Of magnolia blossoms
And furry paws
Ties yellowed letters
With a leather cord

Shisoatmend
Painting pine forests
Ice dragon scales
On dreaming juniper hedges
And blue cypress

Sandalwood floorboards creak
Like a moment lost in time
In a white silk dress
Iris dust on leather gloves
And yellowed photographs

Bitter orange kisses Celima
The rum from your clove lips
First aldehyde sparkling
Then patchouli dark
Until you melt into sweet resin
