Love continues to prevail with our first themed poem of the day from Martin. The score is now 4-1 with love leading comfortably.
Not Exactly Sleight-Of-Hand
Sometimes, I trace the blue vein
to your breasts
to find
the dark sleeping man
nobody disturbs
when I do,
sparks emit from your body
like from two crossed unlike wires
it causes the edges of snow
in solitude
beyond corruptible light
*
Disappearing weightlessly
into tree bark
was the easiest thing
I had ever done.
Turning into rice paper
for plum ink
was more challenging
