The Guardian - a photo on Flickriver

The Guardian

            I let him come.
He sneaks on tiptoe
right up to my ear;

under its ribs my heart
quivers, quickens
as the excitement mounts:

first the forest appears,
then the woodland-sequel,
more mist than snow to the touch 

from the new poem’s
very first line the paper sucks up
every waif-word

and an ugliness steals in,
a cunning hungry thing
crouching there incognito,

pretending to be tame and yet so wolfish
that he’s the kernel of light
and then the noise of its cracking;

he’s lithe on the path,
doubling back on himself,
running with the pack, loping alone;

pussy-footing through the night
he trails moonlight behind him
like a mink coat.

I feel him when the hairs on my skin
lift, and in the delicious dizziness
of my private pulse –

in the midst of my writing, in my dream-life,
I slip all his clothes slowly off
and slide him down beside me.
