Her silhouette entrances me, etched
by that ‘great master’ – moonlight, 
out of the darkness. 
 
How she embodies the night –
its shadow flown inside
of her – slinks like silk fingering
her spine; 
 
the colour of sleep, burning
like flames behind her eyes as, soft,
she treads its labyrinths of dreams.
 
She stretches as she yawns –
a whisper of a chemise – the colour
of smoke, floats to the floor – 
 
as a red tailed hawk swoops low
over ponderosa pines, to a silver-throated sax –
plays bitter-sweet, dark chocolate refrains.
 
Her body, a geology of mountains, grottoes,
rivulets and seas, as she kisses me – her eyelids
feather my cheek as a fountain of blue butterflies, 
 
and in each rise and fall of her, how I long to drown 
and drown again, in the avalanche
of her sighs...
