xLx's blog: "Unzipped Soul"

on the rungs

of morning’s ladder:

long-stemmed wildflowers

quivered

with almost words

de-fanged silver springs

recoiled from the charred remains

of midnight moons

that vanished with a wink and a growl

a numbing pathos of redundant fan blades

cooled steaming lumps

of cucumbers

unencumbered by form

a sea of lusty smoothness

engulfed toes

as succulent as

Mediterranean grapes

but my aching climbing hands

were eroded to the bone

by a tepid mundane rain

and my unzipped soul

screamed

quietly
