"Anamnesis"

Inspired by:

"Anamnesis" a poem by Doug O

I remember Mary

bathed in blue phosphorescence

as she tilted her head in the moonlight

smiled with cheeks of stoic elegance

lowered her gaze

as though in a silent prayer to me

folded hands of ivory

gilded beads about her neck

draped in molten chromatic splendor

cast reflections on her skin

beckoned

invited my hand

to softly impart a velvet touch

the ghost of a caress
