PICKLED PURSLANE

 

SEARCHING PURSLANE LOVERS

soulmates

to appreciate

sparkling appetite

for pickles

weeds

also

for fusion

of exotic

and

exotic

and 

earthly local

to play sardines

to hide 

and appear

with splayed feet

edges frayed

toes 

bones

corns

that enjoy

bed sheets 

and comfort of comforters

cotton

        satin

at times

hands stroking

wishes 

memories

a knee crooked

no matter

a thigh

dreamt of

so many times

seen

and

appreciated

still cherished

sneaking out

of dreams

and sheets

comforting

watched

and watched

like those nights

like this night

with love

and

memories of desire
