Air of Rebellion

Yours truly, love
In all ways

Fair but unruly
As the wind playing

Havoc in your hair.

Fancy That

Now if you could
Only remember how

To perceive you can
Imagine how

It must have felt
Before you forgot.

Body of Summer

Notice if you will, how

The cicada has departed
Its skin and will now

Sing a song stark

Naked, carried on

The back of the wind.



NB
: The title borrowed from
Elytis's "Body of Summer," 1943, which begins thusly:

O body of summer, naked, burnt
Eaten away by oil and salt

Body of rock and shudder of the heart

Great ruffling wind in the osier hair

Breath of basil above the curly pubic mound
Full of stars and pine needles
Body, deep vessel of the day!
