Millicent Stott

I like the way 
her hair curls around my tongue 
and the earth sweet scent of 
her sweat on my lips
I like the way she never sleeps
and her laugh is airy
graceful balm to rub into
my temples
I like her stretch marks purple 
as fresh plums
on her thighs 
which dip and dive and devour
trembling mid-air like 
dangerous, sleeping swans
she is a herb garden of memory 
rich rosemary and parsley growing 
but smelling of mint after her shower
