First IPad Poem

If

What if, instead of dying flowers, perfume
smelled like mountaintops, like granite

and fir-filtered wind?  Breezes lift our feet
from the rock and fragrance-scented air

buoys us up over golden rows of mountains.
You laugh like a child taking his first step

out onto the taut surface of water
and instead of sinking, we skate

on that tensile surface that quivers
like my heart when you reach

the long pin feathers of your wings
and wrap them all light and tickle

and remember around me.

I'm sorry, allow me to translate my comment above:

"I read this over and over again. It always tugs at my heart strings. Such beautiful prose, thoughts sweet and tender."

I love the romance languages - no pun intended. I guess from my scientific background in Latin. I also might surprise you with a snippet of Russian or Japanese. HA!

Best wishes, ... D.
