stale palm
the sweat work pallour
knocks the sun slipping

honorary scars
and sun dyed cars
a desert blossom
in a cacti needle forest
glistening sting

knuckle
fallen
rest

with overcast
shades

a ventilators
steps
risen
and dropping

barometric
loves flame
in the cupola
of a pilot game

take wing
pretty verse
in a slipstream
orchid dusk

pressed
on peaches
of gravity

banquets of forgiveness
these hundred mile
shadows
wrung across
the skin
of time

fragrant of
concubine
caress

cherry lip gloss
and antiseptics

life is a width
a droplet
a measure

like rain
tethered
to heaven

You have some lovely phrases here. These are my favourite:

in a slipstream
orchid dusk

pressed
on peaches
of gravity

across
the skin of time

like rain
tethered
to heaven

Love Mand xxx

dusk..think of the popular american desert sky scenes
dry air so the clarity is fine..Like our cold air here
at times...past dusk the rays of light seek skywward
and the jet trails become alive with pinks
and tans...against the violet or fuscia

I see color i do..

peachs feel good

Sound stunningly beautiful! and you describe it so well! You have a wonderful way with words. ( a word smith ).

LOve Mand xxxx

a cold atllantic hour
pausing
in a thunder surf surrender
holding

moments in the shell
