Stately Paean


Mid-morning warmed lungs
chant velvet surrender.


Triumphant


perfumed gasp,
healer gives way
to hymn.


Sung,
a peony has come
                    undone.


Rippled milk fist
loosens its cumulus grip.


God of healing


gently delivers
pillow punches
to no one in particular.


Tissue lips declare,
calamity softly
                    spared.
