Milk Teeth
I cut my spirit’s milk teeth
Gnawing upon the memory
of your skin
Clenching in my jaws
the vapour trails
of your touch
Snapping at the disintegration
transformation
of mental cumulus
As I learn to transcend
the grief of your leaving
Ease the lock-jaw of despair
my fears, my want
Accept … bless
the ungraspable
freedom of our souls
The eternity, expansiveness
the immortality of our love
Relinquishing my bite
beautiful dreams become
***
Words and Images are my own.
