glimmer of her

<sub>glimmering her
an inkling, a sliver of her
silver and sure
vivid and pure
deliverance

through my window pane
in the night, in the rain
the last signs of her light remain

send me circling like a weathervane
to another domain
i supernova like champagne

when i glance her way she looks away
she says, “what do you see in me?”
i see everything
reflections may play on her face til the light of day

in wine country like Sideways
i taste tested her green skin like Chardonnay
we fit remarkably
in a land of animated cartoons like Scanner Darkly

glimmer of her
made me look twice
did i see her
out the corner of my eye

glimmering her
glistening, shimmering her
envisioning her in the west
dressed in the evening mist

witnessing her christening
its a pretty thing
in the time of the quickening
all the starlights twinkling
winking for her caress

queen of the night
do you have your own light
or do you just use mine
thats fine
im shining all the time

lady of the moon
are you coming soon
you got a lot of luggage to rummage through
hard to know what to do
with the whole ocean under you

glimmer of her
made me look twice
did i see her
out the corner of my eye

glimmering her
theres no limiting her
no commissioning or inhibiting her
youre privileged just to be visiting her
word

mingling with her in the spirit
makes everything clear yet obscure
shes so much more than words

princess of impressionist art
duchess of the stars
priestess, empress of my heart
impress upon my heart
whatever you want
be my Mary Cassatt

we both said we liked Starry Nights
i rise from the world of bar fights
into the land of soft cotton whites
no flights of fancy, no long goodbyes
on a plateau, like Brooklyn Heights

glimmer of her
made me look twice
did i see her
out the corner of my eye

glimmer of her
made me a fool
mirror of her
illusions that should be true</sub>
