La jeune fille catholique

 

La jeune fille catholique

occupe mes pensées.

There is a special kind of air:

savouring in its flavour whilst

walking on the stairway…

I pause to rest upon its arm

as it stretches out to greet me;

inviting me to take in the beauty

of the still water that it cradles

within its grip. 

 

I light a cigarette and smile

as butterflies chatter and dance

within a free spirit's gentle beat.

Pondering I wonder why

the waters should wish to flow

in an opposite direction from that of heaven…

perhaps heaven was only a figment,

and the vibrancy for life itself

was the water's singular attraction.

 

I try to unravel her mystery;

watching; waiting; contemplating,

but she appears to slowly suffocate

in silent desperation

feeling for openings that might aid a flight

from all that stifles her movement;

all that dares to restrain her beauty;

all that would inhibit kisses cascading

within the water's fall as it

descends into the locks' final hold.
