Soft tulips are growing beneath
My tongue
Tenderness is the only politics I believe in
Wash me in
The smooth waves of a pale sunshine
Forgive; the self
Forget; the hurt
Surrender into the body
This is the folding of shadows
This is the rolling-out of bright colors
The proud colors
This is the singing out loud
& out of tune
This is the blooming of love
Inside
&
All around
The tired bones
