Poem by Cece Cormier

this transparent evening
all luminous, clear
this night when angels fly
and poets die
consumes the healing
and makes me want to scream
of passion brushed lips
the pulse
an aura
love at  fingertips
initiates feeling
and pause
take a breath
rest with me
visualize the possibility
of life in several parts
filling the whole in our hearts
masking this completeness
burning opaque in the dark
