ANGELA MARIE BUTKUS
Daphne's Call 

the willow’s breeze wisps painted dreams
lacquered in frozen liquids past
the dusk in my toes. 

steadily, the blood of a rose
perches upon sealed lips—

Daphne’s enchanting sweet stirs: 

she summons me toward roots
of her laurel. we sway
in amorous silence—


the seduction of beauty,
passion’s vagary—
my heart’s great compass.
