Unfurling

Four years after I wrote When Pleasure Blooms, along comes the perfect poetic synopsis.

Thank you for Unfurling the Bloom in such a sensitive and sensual manner, Elan Mudrow!

Elan Mudrow

Before the unfurling

The inward bloom

An artist’s fist

Compressed to the movement

Of skin and desire

Held to earth

By fragile stem

One day will

Follow the sun

Learn to lure the bee

Speak in soft flesh tones….

And landing upon transitory beauty

Knows

Only representations

Are permanent.

Form, structure, pigments.

A ghost’s body

Still holds the shape

Of hands outlined, flat

Upon the prehistoric cave
