Long-Stemmed Black Flowers

The rolling tan hills
slope away gently
tracing a certain soft patina
in the dusty night;
framed by
black straight
long stemmed flowers
languid against
my back-drop window;
they look like night time sun-risings,
against a curved topography
which seems to move up
and down slowly
in the invisible summer breeze.
They frame
two dark pools
which glitter in the subdued light.
There are dimpled mounds too
rounded, curving away.
Further down
the whole view
indents, like a woman's body
and curves back out again
forming what I think of as
two safe harbors
on either side.
Peninsula structures
are next
framing
a mystery center
which is barely visible
but I can see heat eddies
make the air wavy
as they rise.
All of this forms
a wondrous curved archipelago.
All of this is your body,
the body I love,
and you,
who
when
our geography's meet,
make the world new
again
every night.
