Her touches are like snow icicles


from the ABC set The kismet fate of serendipity

Her touches are like snow icicles
Tongue tickling wisps of frozen light
Each fingertip is an isotonic particle
A throbbing cosmos of winter—delight

Her dock leaf strokes nettle wet kisses
Emblazoning my nerves like small owlets
Never hard pressed a serpents music hisses
Through gated forest bramble of thickets

Trickling into life a fresh snowfall melts
Summoned minerals at length subdivide
Two hearts—two souls—two carbon pelts
Two anatomies: and only one hillslide
