lying down
releasing your tensions
making your eyes soft-sighted
slowing the rhythm of your body
sensing a heart outline
reaching from under your feet
to over your head
peaceful
imagining
your mystical twin
casual as the half crushed
mallow flowers in her brown hand
her skin dark against her smile
the light lavender silk blend
of her tank top with purple dots
in her outdoor bubble skirt
a vibrant shade of plum
with loosestrife print on deep pockets
she's summer incarnate
coming from a world full of life
to your doorstep
a treasure by the wayside
you've known her always
your summer vagabond
she says you could be too
casual as summer
she says it's easy
falling laughing through
the green screen of rainy leaves
whispering fat lilac silk dollop dreams
she says it's easy
you could be too
falling in song layers
a plum bubble skirt your parachute
to the spirited room
where the blackbird is
translating her into your life
you're breathing her in
knowing when you wake up
you can always return
to breathing your mystical twin
Vera Kelgart (with key crystal 'Cathedral Cradle') 2017
