It's sand, mud and dirt
but some see the blue beyond
and call it a beach.
She almost forgets.
Summer nights still taste like smoke
and fireflies still dance.
Her room smells of lilies.
There she sits and calls a boy
without her friend's eyes.

The white tree
Hung down over the churchyard
The churchyard was the porch
The white was from the snow
The grave was the circle
How beautiful!
The way it blooms
red juice dripping from
ripened fruit:
her eyes, black velvet
silver on her nails
a mouth that curls
when it says my name.
What desire! I inhale her mind
*lines in italics are from Jane Eyre
Are you apprehensive of the new sphere you are about to enter?
Because I fear
For the warm skin
