In the Nature of Joy, in the Geometry of Your Snowflake…

It seems a cherry blossom ballet, breezing April’s photons :

it is snowing innocently, rustlingly…

…and the chorale of brownish leaves, secular, imperial platans resounds,

among the golden penguins of the fountain basin, among swan necks

with orange stars burning in their beaks…

 

I breathe the ozone molecules catching the fragrance

among my globules hosting emotions, ever more ruby,

I feel how they spatialise among the marble columns

of a different rise, in my peristylium –

my home of compact winter also witnesses the diamond soul,

in the ebb and flow carrying the milk foam of the whole galaxy…

 

From now on, my Sweetheart, please do no longer bite me by the Pole Star,

do no longer speak to me orientally, in the language of the king cobra,

do no longer tear the constellation of my Lyra with lily-of-the-valley teeth :

merely kiss me as in the nature of joy, in the geometry of your snowflake… !

Velvety Frostbiting Sun

The velvety frostbiting Sun

floods my outermost and

innermost spaces…

 

The Sun’s molars of bashful photons

honeyfies

the grey scaly walls,

the susurrous yellow epiderma

of the November goddesses,

the ice-sweating asphalt,

the white feverfew,

the mauve chrysanthemums,

the clouds’ daily refreshened ties,

on Harvest Day…

 

The Sun’s infrared incisors, too sharp

through the woods’ harp

and the subkingdoms’ tarp,

deep down into my genes,

deep down into my chromosomes… !
