In Time, In Space Poem by Rosalinda Flores Martinez

Somewhere, I make promises
No bravoes, no bells, beyond
Dreams.Into the deep.

Somewhere, I kneel for love
I sketch a heart in between
Yards and temples, something

Ephemeral, on air, on wires, on web,
On sheets. Candles ofwax -
I light on mountains.

Somewhere, I write words, spin threads
I blog on wires
I make a kiss, full red lips of chants

I hug tight - as the mind can grasp.
There is an ascencion of thoughts, somewhere
Draping like shrouds, patterns of shimmering silk


I wrap on you -
The brilliance of God's designs
Somewhere

Protective and steadfast
Amazing grace, I hold your heart
Mine -

You trace my bones, my moist nipples
My sculpted blood. You, fierce -
Night and dawn.

Somewhere - here and in spring
Near St. Vianney, the memories
Of our vows, the hands of God annoint.

We endure -
Holding a kids laughter, firm -
seeing the world.
