simple line

The calm
Of a single line
Outlined music
For two
A stringed aria
Curved then
Curve again
Holding weight
Of fingers
In the pour
Dimpled recognition
Her eyes
Closed and
Close again
The calm
Of a single line
Heat distracted
Supernova
Releasing a
Spray of stars
His line
Becomes light
And sighs
And she opens
To calm

You have limned the passions so intimately. It is a dance I see, and one so lovingly told and lived.

a stringed aria . . . a spray of stars -- a beautiful blend of words here. a blending of delicacy & strength, too. beautiful to read.
