Some thoughts on love

Don't know about all this ...

Your hair hangs like
autumn rain
full; bunching down, overgrown

- - -

surprised into love by the songs of a nun,
singing like a mantle of worn rock
in a previous sea.
waltz and blush,
gaping at the absent sky
in the catacombs of a once-convent.

move just so,
so we may stand on the lip
of a wasteland
with clouds, dark as mid-storm
above us...

poem after the dash, adapted from a poem by Katy Didden
