the miracle of you
the moon’s right-hand
pours soul into my flesh
pigeons’ wings bring scents of lilac blooms
the air gets drunk with poetry
statuary women of the water
flaunt their hair
within the loneliness of you
my heart
rotates five equinoxes on a wooden spindle
your eyes pour flesh into my soul
my body germinates the sounds of growing leaves
I wash my hands into the waters of Guadalquivir
in the scented night of those who never sleep
I say
I love you
and in one single breath
our wedding is transformed
in an enraptured death
was it the moon?
was it the morning dew?
perhaps it was the miracle of you

There are some lines in here that just reached into me. Wow! “5 equinoxes on a wooden spindle” among others, certainly. Thank you this is so beautiful.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. It means a lot to me 🙏🌹
Really beautiful.
Thank you so much 🙏🌹
I have so many favorites but it is difficult with your books, Button, because after you read them more than once they all become that way. You always pick the most beautiful artwork to add to the beauty of your work as well.
“your eyes pour flesh into my soul
my body germinates the sounds of growing leaves
I wash my hands into the waters of Guadalquivir
in the scented night of those who never sleep”
These lines leave the reader with their mouth open, wondering how such lines came into existence, and making one strongly desire to read more. Everything you write is also so thought provoking, at least to me, even after I have read a piece before I start to wonder about each line, almost like a study. Beautiful.
Sending my love, Honeybun xoxoxoxo
Thank you so much honeybun. I am glad you liked those line and you like the artwork too. You are so gracious hon, and your support means so much to me.
Sending love and hugs. Have a blessed day.
xoxo
You are so welcome Button. Sending love back to you and wishing you a magical day.
Love,
Honeybun ❤️

Perhaps…
Lovely read, Gab.
Bo, thank you so much. I am glad you enjoyed the read. You know the drill. I am thinking about you and of course I want to know how you and your mom are doing. I am waiting for news. Only if you feel like.
Sending love and a big kiss for little B.

I don’t know if you saw my replies yesterday (it was weird, though, you were in spam and I don’t see you in my comments now, though I approved them.)
We’re doing ok. It’s been better for a couple days now, which is a relief. However, we’re all still pretty down. The fatigue and drowsiness are overwhelming.
Bo, I did not see the reply. I was probably in your spam because when I commented I came to you via Eric’s site. That is my way of reaching you these days. I go to Eric’s site and I click on your comments.
I am glad she is having some good days hon. What else can I say hon? Hang in there. Sending good wishes and love to everyone.
xoxo
Thanks, hon. Hugs back.
❤️🤗

Of course, my dearest Gabriela, the entire poem is a masterpiece; and, yet these lines here are even more to me,
“I say

our wedding is transformed
in an enraptured death
was it the moon?
was it the morning dew?
perhaps it was the miracle of you”
