image of drawing: 'the lips of love'
the lips of love
larger version of image
V

Here on Lama mountain
enshrouded in grey
the lips of love caress my body
drops from the sky
insinuate into each crack and crevice
a crevasse of wetness
washing me awake and into love.
It doesn't take much.
My husband used to tease that I'd fall in love
with every dog, man, child and tree I met.
These days, I'm a bit more discriminating,
but not much.
