The summer I painted Muriel

-acrostic




response to the Challenge by Coolaaron

 

 

The season untouched by frost

Hands discovering the yet untamed

Evoking the longing that would last from now on

 

Seeing the white skeleton

Under her embroided smile

Mass on hot sundays

Mouth forming her name in prayers

Eternal damnation awaiting us

Reciting Hail Mary as she undressed

 

Immaculata

 

Posing in blue uniforms for our mothers

A hidden touch behind the lens

In her room

Next to each others confession

Tasting with eyes closed

Eyes open

Drowning

 

Muriel

Untangling my tongue in her letters

Roses grow on her now

I never could save her

Even though she saved my

Longing

Wow, we have a volcano of talent here rearing to burst forth and explode upon our senses...
Emelen!
And what does this very exotic and beautiful name, just like its owner, mean?

Welcome to the bay, from my end dear Emelen!

Love,
Zoya
