insect life

the men, the women, the insect life--
lisa gordon


voices turned to themselves
a murmur belief, a swamp.

inside one morning
glory, sapphire pressured.

fall into the cut boquet~
norhing harvests sweet as beauty.

he turns to the most desireable woman
in the world. some time later, turns away.

what happens is the rubbing of feet, the flutter
of wings, the spiral down as it veers up again.
