THE PROMENADE, 1918, by Marc Chagall
THANK YOU, Tess..for Magpie Tales...
THAT WORD
Licking my lips,
I swallow the taste
of last night's kiss.
You said that word,
the one with the heart
of a mayfly.
Giving up gravity,
believing that I too
have wings, I flew.
Your choreography
thrust me skyward,
enough to tease the wind.
