Can Words

Can Words


Can words curl
and grow
as lily girl
effulgent
in sensuous green
unfurls
among mosses
pillowed
masonery
of mountain shadowed
stream?

Her skirt of willowed
grasses
and little fishes
nibbling
at her toes,
can words unfolding
curl
like one of those?

To put it fresh:

How close can mesh
flesh made words
to Word made flesh?


By C. Van Gorkom
