   presence of jasmine
   
   not this current
   
   jasmine, never
   
   gives way to shade--
   
   folded leg nestled
   
   pillows fragrant of that house
   
   never question but sound
   
   as it occurs

   Edition Statement " Rouge-petal
   slipped like note..."
   
   presence of aphorism
   pervades--
   even the supplest folk
   current of tread
   upon cool sill
   beads
   of city like
   waiting
   to open late
   
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   not that currents
   but the luxor of form
   rinsing contest
   of beleagered released
   to elements
   of skein
   discarded race
   recalcitrant--Vers Single V

   jasmine, never
   ceasing its sound
   buried in the stem
   of 80 flowers--
   approach of first light
   waxy leaves
   supple hour
   window's gloss
   reflects the shard of vine
   on city towers
   
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   gives way to shade--
   silhouette of nurtured form
   sheets rustle
   moon shallow
   alights on bare and folded skin
   waking with you in temperate air
   above the strait
   shielded leaves
   furtive hue of metal lake
   and quivering shore
   
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   folded leg nestled
   in a fountain of sleep
   breezes team
   in gray foam
   of river's form
   edge
   of light
   window beyond
   the cantillated roofs
   and mansard spill--
   
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   pillows fragrant of that house
   of windows and white shade
   bedpost, wood, crystal vase
   a kiss--
   which is mango slipped
   between our lips
   and presence
   of vine
   bulrush, reed
   with drifting wake
   of rippled pleats
   
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   never question but sound
   of pages turning
   yellow light and words
   outside the careful window
   sky arcs, rusts--
   bodies together
   wrinkled cloth
   presence of breeze, loft
   flower's touch
   sheltered dusk
   
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   as it occurs
   sharp and wet the breeze
   in the fountain of gray
   not this current
   but luxury of river's foam
   waking
   among the pleated vines
   and wakeful eyes--
   body gentle, brown
   in folded form
