Tamie Gaudet

Restoration

Pale pieces of me faded
into an empty landscape
until I closed my eyes.

Over black his voice painted
fresh vision from a palette
of shared memories. Blue eyes

blended with green to see
the sunberry smear juicy
kisses across the sky, sticking

the clouds to the horizon.
Our fingers filtered dripping
rays that dyed my dress

a deeper red. And in the mossy
damp we bathed our feet
in blossom bubbles that floated

on the breeze. The wind is blue
today he whispered and placed
a flower in my hand.

Open your eyes and see.
