a magnetic renga

hot summer day
languid whisper
sweat on a girl -- mdk

frantic tongue
wind in the lake -- tlk

white wax skin
sweet like bloody milk
or raw moonlight -- mdk

under the fiddle
the boy -- tlk

petals crushed
delirious death of an ache
she lets the rain fall -- mdk

here in bed
bare and enormous beneath
the delicate shadow -- tlk

bitter sea spray pounds its chant
a picture of life and love and a smooth arm -- mdk

their sun is gone
a ship of shadows soars away
into a stormy sky of sleep -- mdk

behind them only
iron language rusting in water -- mdk

like a symphony
I scream it together
blow diamonds -- tlk
