February

Unfolding origami bodiesDropping messages with secret images Whispered in tongues foreign To arms becoming hands
Becoming then just
skin upon skin
Yet again memories surface On coat tails of emotions That moment of caught hands Lingering too long Delicate papers with stamps that could Send words to distant worlds
Paper envelopes sealed by lipsTwo cranes Blue lit by moon sight unseen Relearning the delicate art of Such intricate patternmaking Once taught through touch Innocent fingers would thread ribbons Through braids Unfolding origami So quick to disassemble years of creation Paper chain link fences crumble Beneath large rain drops Dried tear drops leaving salt traces
Like crystals In curved lines abundant To smooth out all
The rough edges
Relearning the softness that
Nestles in with intensities
Restless yearning, clawing, pulling
Back to this place
