her gypsy soul
trills in the desert sunrise
after groaning
a midnight whale song—
deep thrumming
heard even in the boughs
of high-up palms
waving their burnt-black sails
after pillage and storm—
her song a zing, whistling light,
when her pirate’s come safely home

a q44 for dVerse: zing

just for today, let’s
glory in the little
things,
swing as if our sky
doesn’t know
a hint
of night,
trip on daisies,
petal-clouds
of white,
fall down softly, dizzy,
with me
slide your fingers
across my lips
return to me
a hungry
kiss
