I was moving slowly
towards the kitchen
when the sparks crackled
through the windows
and pulled me closer
to the fragments
that were falling on the door step,
just melting into Wednesday.
I could see the sun
shaking the darkness
as the crisp hues of adornment
brightened every color new
in a shimmering sense,
cast in the overlay,
as the hour seem to blossom.
Wednesday slowly dressed
in every hue
hidden in the sunrise
and mounted
a golden stallion that galloped
in a slow steady cantor
with miles of green and blue ribbon
opening up behind her
billowing from horizon to horizon.
She reached through the glass
and left a wet kiss
in the thundering sound
of her arrival
that could be tasted
on every blade of grass
that lay shivering from the dawn.
I drew in deep
to awaken my senses
as she stole a few more moments
that found me tasting
the mist of her wet kiss
I felt dancing in a breeze.
Above me
in the room upstairs
I reached for you
as I looked
beyond your silhouette
cast in her sunrise.
A thousand ways to feel
every part of every ticking second
lost in Wednesday,
I pull the blanket
down from around you
and press even closer
with the sound of Wednesday
galloping around us
in a slow sultry cantor....
As you sigh
deep in ecstacy
the shadows disappear around you,
I am swimming
in a sea of chestnut colored hair
riding on a slow sultry cantor
keeping pace
with the golden horse
as Wednesday
wrapped herself around us.
Freedom in the highest form of literary expression here. Wednesday's Cantor releases passion like free-flowing canyon water. This poetry encapsulates an entire metaphor in hot, sweet lather of equine flesh metamorphosed into the man/woman flesh moving in synchopated rhythm. This is the kind of poetry Timothy Michael Flaherty thrives on. It's something I would expect to see framed in old barnwood and hung on the log walls inside an old bunkhouse that was inspired by the feather tick on the iron bed. It has a presence on the early frontier and I take Wednesday's Cantor with a cup of fresh-perked campfire coffee...looking to the horizon of yet another beautiful day...
Love,
