Blackberry Brambles
July 12, 2024
Somewhere in the blackberry brambles
Awaits my love
blades of evergreens she wheedles between her thumbs
She sounds like lavender, looks like the star’s laughter
Whispers slip through her berry-stained lips,
past her smile that tastes like spring
The trees talk and she
hears, wild is her moonlit spirit
spilling life out in every direction
And the hyacinth’s blossom upon her bare skin
as those bare feet fly across the damp and mossy earth
Like those with a fire in their blood, she might just fly away
For if you never dare fly above and into the dark
How will you see
that the world is made of song?
