“blazon”
by cecilia woloch

—after breton

my love with his hair of nightingales
with his chest of pigeon flutter, of gray doves preening themselves at dawn
with his shoulders of tender balconies half in shadow, half in sun
my love with his long-boned thighs the map of paris of my tongue
with his ink-stained tongue, his tongue the tip
of a steeple plunged into milky sky
my love with his wishing teeth
with his fingers of nervous whispering, his fingers of a boy
whose toys were cheap and broken easily
my love with his silent thumbs
with his eyes of a window smudged of a train that passes in the night
with his nape of an empty rain coat
hung by the collar, sweetly bowed
my love with his laughter of an empty stairwell, rain all afternoon
with his mouth the deepest flower to which
i have ever put my mouth
