rosalinda flores martinez
In Time and Space
Somewhere, I make promises
No bravoes, no bells, beyond
Dreams. Into the deep.
Somewhere, I kneel for love
I sketch a heart in between
Yards and temples, something
Ephemeral, on air, on wires, on web,
On sheets. Candles of wax –
I light on mountains.
Somewhere, I write words, spin threads
I blog on wires
I make a kiss, full red lips of chants
I hug tight - as the mind can grasp.
There is an ascencion of thoughts, somewhere
Draping like shrouds, patterns of shimmering silk
I wrap on you -
The brilliance of God’s designs
Somewhere
Protective and steadfast
Amazing grace, I hold your heart
Mine -
You trace my bones, my moist nipples
My sculpted blood. You, fierce -
Night and dawn.
Somewhere – here and in spring
Near St. Vianney, the memories
Of our vows, the hands of God annoint.
We endure -
Holding a kids laughter, firm -
seeing the world.
