Better (and Those Romantic) Loves Are Like Japanese Schools of Flower Arrangement

 

Before the deshabille of evening love

loosened in its rhythm like a flow

released and relaxed with free verse,

easy elegance of its afternoon gives

 

its bridging legs that move to pointillism

and its subtle sting of a fluxing gaze

that makes distance disappear—

and with that stroke all is being changed

 

as her eyes like a master cast and paint

a beauty line on you—across time and space,

their line anew, the figure worth of every gold

 

which, as pollen dust, all the flowers in the world

may bring and breathe—that light of stars transformed,

so it can sense and live and scent her with a love-in-deed.
