‘CHALK GARDEN ART’

Impromptu...October twenty second ,nine a.m.

Take me into an azure chalk sky, parch my lips

Keep walking don’t look back- see your hips

Black the bird on the olive tree, paint it there

Borrow black from your hair, paint the night

Paint your eyes for me, though stars keep them bright

The blue i'll take from you, wrapped you round’ in lines

My eye see- your- grace –form-up –high- the- sky, behind cloud

Stir me from sleep in a coffee cup, add sugar cube, break loud

Tread the dust of a chalk garden, in hair, get it under nails

We find words cuneiform cuneiform, chalk envelopes, hidden

Beneath beds of roses, Cleopatra and Marc Antony

In Ceasar’s garden, I'll make you a salad, roses and vermillion

Lie you on stone, silk, cool night, warm breath, here come the sun

Need some time, break a clock, steal the hands

Dip the 'phoenix' in its own blood,

give me time, be kind, you’re not the only one.

finis.
