Of Spines Spurring Love's Thistles and Thorns

 

Into those old paintings

parasoled ladies kept on

landing—argent egret

whiffed by mere breath.

 

Not unlike two fingers met

underneath a passing tab

in perplexed flash,

in umbra of a hat,

 

the face just might have

ensouled the sun—

geysered through the eyes.

 

Off pairs and carriages

those parachutes away—

if down becomes above.
