Lesvos Evening
balcony
trembles over lemon trees
a shawl of frankincense
pulled
from the ocean
liminal
breathing
citrus-scented evening
naked skin a
silk embrace
the hot touch of a
moonless, star-coded night
Aphrodite calls
these feet to walk the
cypress courtyard
pulsing heart-born rhythms
knees to earth
face to the heavens
heady incense of
night-defined sensation
clothed in lemon-heavy air
my lips breathe a prayer
to the cypress trees
a palm of olives
an offering
oh Aphrodite
here
tonight
I feel you
bless me with the water
of your love
