H. Rand Swansey - untitled

a mother, a child
unity expressed
through
breaths and
kisses
curves
caresses

gentle lips
touch
downy scalp
a whiff
of
soap, talcum
of infant perspiration
charge the nose
with
primoral recognition

thoughts that cross
the
boundaries of consciousness
transcend the flesh
like
blush in a rose
linking
gray to gray
and
red to red

hearts beat
a sigh
a sigh
and slumber

de
sc
e
n
d
s

through
love's tender shell
