Mischief Cafe

 

I took part in the Mischief Café: Seattle, WA with author and founder of T.S. Poetry Press, L.L. Barkat, hosted by Jody Collins.  Check out Tweetspeak for more about this great idea that Laura has taken on the road to inspire poetry and connection.

It’s subtle

how it calls,

how the road

yields to the curve

of your palm,

lingering

upon your tongue,

your palate quivering

with diesel and dust

as if cigar smoke, sex, Bordeaux.

By day,

the sun toasty,

by night,

the stars crisp,

like hints of a lover’s kiss

fresh upon your skin,

soul entwined

with the highway wind,

a liberative mix,

silver-quick

as the slivered moon

tends to the

cumulonimbus clouds

in your mind.

And it’s subtle

how you answer,

how you

yield to the curve

of its palm.
