gasping white light

the velvet knife
of your tongue
cut my skin

into a thousand
streamers of want
I feathered against
the unknown

a breath in the grasp
of insanity

was as ribbons on
the ground,
I was tossed to roll
aimless to reality

fire licked breasts
as thighs brushed static
into the palms of your
hands ...

at first touch
is the flashback,

I am burning white flames

Blaze on my Australian fire-lady blaze on.

Ann of Norway "into a thousand streamers of want I feathered against the unknown........................love this feathering against... a breath in the grasp of insanity..............................like the delicacy of the feather grasped. was as ribbons on the ground, I was tossed to roll aimless to reality"................. Like the paper streamers, or a dropped sandwich wrapper that slowly does its own personal dance in the chance breezes of life. These parts above seem to be expressing something different from the rest of the poem for me, suddenly the body is there in a realistic drama that was before so vapourous and of otherworldliness. But then again I can relate to the original too, and its hot the white of the hottest flame. Blaze on my Australian fire-lady blaze on, Ann sends her love with a white shower of kisses.
