Snuggled in a cocoon en plein air sur terre
Safe from the predator, en plein air sur terre

Nestled in the hubris near the adder’s tongue
Dreading inner shadows, en plein air sur terre

Teetering edges/vulnerability
And a wild sweet aura en plein air sur terre

Suggestion of it hanging/moving in trees
Enticing rendevous en plein air sur terre

Softly touching her face/madness of raw need
Chasing back the shadows en plein air sur terre

Ashes of solitude/like a luna moth
My morning sky turns flame en plein air sur terre
