silk
wings
blooming

face obscured

I fall to my knees

wanting nothing more than to press
my face to her cool, sepia skin and weep for shame

 

A friend pointed me in the direction of this photo on Flickr. This Fibonacci (which I expanded to a seventh, thirteen syllable line)–a form I was led to by Grace on her blog–is what happened. Marian also wrote a Fibonacci today. Hers is better.

    that was just lovely, you said so much with so little.
