Flagged Tomb
Hear my dreaming? It’s of sweet musk and linen cologne− shaved faces of soft men, lilies over war-graves where blackbirds fly in search of blooms.
Hear my dreaming? I sleep in a gown with navy lace that slips deep, between my breasts− the blush of the moon calls through the glass to a woman with a porcelain face.
Hear my dreaming? She recites prayers in beautiful Latin. Her hair circled with a flowered wreath, I taste her tears. They fall in my mouth.
Hear my dreaming? I see her glide through portico walkways holding poppies, petals open picked from the meadow on a Sunday afternoon.
No, picked from churchyards where husbands sleep. Copyrights @ Carol Lynn Grellas |
