by Ron Riekki
Her heart, an art of goodness,
a great sky of it, roping me in,
us, you too, reader, if you just
listen, her past, so sexy, every
choice, so very dark and, yet,
light, like the birth of day. I
think a million have fallen in
love with her, even now, so
when she says she’s alone, I
want to write her a thousand
poems, for just her thirst-
quenching lips, craving for
the spell of her fingertips, fire
inside, from just her whispers.
