Empyrean Swings

what is love if not
catching irrepressible canyons
in calloused hands
breathing homespun winds
into dessicated
labium-gullies

what is love if not
defining impossibility
in empyrean swings
feathering futile ink
to communicate
what the eyes do best

what is love if not
an ultraviolet thread
uncertainly followed
to a bush aflame
crackling words
achingly desired

what is love if not
a blind man’s leap
