Andromeda

Andromeda

 

Silent flattery’s kiss,

Womb of lumens,

A touch of images,

Thighs of dark stars…

Silver moon in a quarter dance,

Splice of lifetimes,

Back arches in the luminous

Glow,

Nebulous hair,

Forest of galaxies,

In a game of light,

Backdrops like Aztec hair,

Fluorescent serendipity,

The words choked,

From the thousand times,

We lived and fed,

Upon Andromeda’s blink,

Surely to be alive,

Is to die reborn among

The dreamscape of her arms.
