Intact

Walking through the forest,

canopied in green.

I witness electric blue skies,

silver clouds

and champagne waterfalls.

These chestnut eyes

shimmer

in full sunlight.

The smell of musk, moss and

medicine wafts,

calming each reddened

nerve one by one.

Water gurgles, plummets

splashing Arctic blue tears

upon my olive flesh,

sliding down my body

like a lover whose hands are

green with greed.

Every part of me gleamed

like a milky pink strand of

pearls,

whole ,elegant …

Intact.
