Paintbrush bristles drifted over gooseflesh,
then, oozy bathing sponge presses.
Tepid water caresses: thigh… waist… spine.
Long-leaf-pine-needle carpeting
from sentinels filtering hazy sunset sheets.
Moss-covered stones, a pool pearl-lined.
[Stepping out of this liquid
bed
chills perception and silences
birds.
Off alabaster, heatless
light reflected blinds.]
Re-immerse: skin… senses… soul
under the entrancing touch of your lips.
~Volpini Amentum Arete Anemone
