Heaven (96 of 366)

Day 96 of the 365 day poem

Challenge.

Word of the day immaculate meaning: "perfectly clean, neat, or tidy."

Heaven

This is the crust in the eye

On a Saturday 

This is the brining sun 

And the knotted toes of lovers

This is the jostling of 

Dogs that lick toes

Bottled rum 

Caramel hops 

Bubbles hissing

Consumerism calls

This is the absent protest

Of fatigue at the end of business

This is the blushing of heat 

And tanned nakedness

This is the empathy denied 

And then granted 

Candy smiles

Tight thighs 

Beautiful frames 

Sell-out sensuality 

This is the kinetic flow of 

Organs pulsing sex

This is the exfoliation of 

Abrasive thoughts 

This is the pounding of the

Heart in the final throes 

Tremulous eyes

Jittering knees

Servile poses 

Virgin Artifice enshrined

This is the ardent halo

When desire is exhumed

This is the ending of 

Shallow contemplation

This is the hollow shell

Of immaculate heaven.
