Sunkissed.



sun slides

across arching, needled pines,

buttering them with

late afternoon light.

It drips honey;

sweet gold that melts through the pine needles

sleepily slanting onto

the clearing,

the bodies

below.



Yet these

honey-kissed lovers

do not notice the

soft shards

of the dying day;

for them there are no

scented pines above, no

cast-off needles below.

There is only the other

as arms embrace

as heats beat

as electricity builds.



the sun melts

as do they.

Falling into.

Adoring.

Needing

each other.

The day is dying but the world

is wide with wonder

with possibility

as lipsandhandsandbodiesandhearts

discover love.



And then suddenly,

a blooming.

Love’s spark blossoms and

together they and the elderly sun

give one, final, heartfelt, flash.

They burn, glow, shine, pulse

explode….





that too, softly fades.




into sweet delight

into the gentle night


into the dearly beloved afterglow.

mmm… honey! Manuka’s a miracle drug. highly active, super potent, antibacterial (12 w/v) antioxidant… you can re-grow limbs with the stuff. Tane prescribed it (berries, bark, gum, shoots, seeds and all), described it as mysterious, regenerative and infinitely powerful. a poultice, a balm, a salve, an anitdysenteric, antipyretic, carminative, bechic, an antiphlogistic effective against mastitis, a remedy for inflamed breasts… which might explain all the lame ratites eh...
