found performing
a galivanter
amongst the curios and
cheekbone impostors

feigning bloodvows,
rife solidity;
fingertip promises in
Times New Roman.

supple wrists, o
tendoned silver thews
that sail on heated zephyrs
above the grasp;

a sortilege
of sighs and bones fore-
telling of table wine and
conversation.
just to sit on the patio,
share a bottle with you.

I love shiraz. Though I love a good Oregon pinot even more. :)

This poem has such rich language! I really enjoy the unexpected word juxtapositions in it. I like all of the lines; my favorite phrases have to be these: "fingertip promises in /Times New Roman" and "fore- /telling of table wine and /conversation." Lovely imagery there.
