A Gradual Awakening
by JCA
Twilight's waves bath Heaven's Gate Mountain
In a fading caress of incandescence
A dim redolence in a wisp of memory,
At slumber's disconsonant hour
Her musk suffuses in gradual awakening
Like the florescence of an uncharted Eastern deity
Leaving a small shadow standing before me,
In the doorway of my concupiscence
