Closed Garden |
by Abbia Udofia |
She puts me down with the weight Of her love and feelings, dreamlike. We are kissing by the beach As spouses before an assenting priest As teenagers in masked playgrounds. There are two moons shining here Silent but calling the winds. There are two skies singing With strident mouths There are two winds painting Us with rainbow lines of the sun We place hands in tablets Of the wind swearing to hold the dew I do not want to be different Let’s stay in the closed garden |
