tonight the sun
thought to slip away
– secret, unnoticed –
but has instead
become tangled
in the branches
of the plum
which sways as
close to the glow
as it might manage –
in just the same way
I once crossed
a kitchen floor
to taste the warmth
of your torch
against my lips

Exquisitely beautiful!
So lovely, especially the image of the sun, thinking to slip away unnoticed, getting tangled in the branches of the plum. How I would have loved to have written that line!
❤ thank you!
ENCAPTURED
A image or two
Ripe with associations
A memory shared
Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! That should of course be “An image” not “A image”. Please amend for me if you please. Thank you.
Superb, I love the image of the setting sun in the plum tree. ❤
