“Ever” in “Shape Your Eyes by Shutting Them”

Ever

wherever lavender blooms

over blue savannahs whenever hove to her

whether you warrant this windfall her laughter

her touch a tourniquet a quiver her divine whim

your dervish fervour her sinuous river shape ancient

fresh as water her egret silhouette her marten sense

hew whatever walls arrest you like a law

refashion a fallow hovel into bare verdant heaven

better shelter from ever heavier weather

line your nest with equal parts matter and ether

leaven her summers with wander and feathers

cover her winters with ravens and glitter

her love your welter of penniless wealth

your heart a lit votive to heat her
