Dear Miss Mcmanus:
After callously venturing through restless seasons of the world
you've alone embedded your name
upon the narrow landing of its crystalline mantle
in return
I've constructed an perpetual altar for you
upon the familiar throne of my heart
all I ask
is to gradually mount life's trivial staircase with you
your elemental eyes widened with fire, love & grace
how i long to belong somewhere between your legs
and your face
autumn winds will blow
long before the pine-trees know
their boughs to wither
in fallen winter snow
an ethereal Springtime
you are to me or
long forgotten solstice of summer
whence childhood dreams
painted a tranquil sheen
of pastel indigo
on our minds impressionable harbor
our love together
is beyond any vale I've ever traveled
more precious and delicate
than any prayer
mumbled fervently
in lone bedrooms of adolescence
angels drift beyond measure here
their words soft and amiable
whitened & velvet
clutching nighttime silhouettes
you
must be one of them
Your lover
Dan Pollock
