FLORAL FOXES

crimson fingers





a soil veined with longing
her blood is milk-white and filled
with birds
stirring/with a sound like a last-breath
her thighs sobbing
she wakes and waits
her breath licks the window-glass
but still his face does not appear

  1. Wonderful blog you have here! I'd like to say, thank you for visiting mine.

    These words carry such beautiful sadness, graceful, too, I should say. True poetry, especially the image of breath being "milk-white" and "filled with birds."

    :-)

  2. Been missing your words, like a heavy nostalgia. These words, phrases; arranged so intricately, are incredibly powerful: I can feel the longing like the sun; fiercer than a lion.
    I hope all is well, dear C.
    Lots and lots of love, always: xxx

  8. Such a delicate, yet passionate, yearning is portrayed in this! It is ever so beauteous.

    And I was wondering, since you love North and South, have you ever seen Cranford or Wives and Daughters? Those are two other Elizabeth Gaskell novels BBC did adaptations of which I love. :)

    Most enchanting and imaginative words! Your writing is wonderful.

    Thankyou for your comment, you are so kind. I have seen the movie Bright Stat, its how I find out and fell in love with the poet, he is my favourite, ever ever ever.

    That scene you like is beautiful:)
