Paramagnetic Poetry by Krista

love like sunlight it flows around weightlessly entangling highlighting illuminating warming defining edges by bouncing visible waves love like sunlight is an exploring caress that puzzles out the shape of things drifting over pebbles seeping through leaves creating dapples feeding growth inspiring reach as plants stretch out dreaming becoming

Behind me there are books of poems crocheted purses, headbands, blankets I have held goddesses oy I was clover, medic, ground cover honey sweet bumble dreams fixing nitrogen for the cash crops to come listening to the rain hit the roof with a resonance that to me is the sweetest of bells the hush swish spray of tires on wet pavement the rhythm of the drops a soundscape i pull around me like a wool blanket

household ghosts are born of thoughts around them culture from here culture from there the neighbour's nightmare my lock of hair air elemental skinned in the adrenaline of a life parallel horror flick watch Babadook where someone died and the kikimorae sticks

I have been the bliss where flesh comes together leaving hope in the afterglow skin drenched in etheral shine bursting with light nestled together my body now a star where life is beginning

I want a kiss that feels like coming home I want a hand in mine that is like the sap scented breeze of mid spring just past Ostara but sometimes like the clear winter gales at Iona or the rain driving pelting winds that flurry through the sheet metal sofit I want a love that is like a favourite sweater or a favourite mountain or a favourite tree I want a courtship that is like a 14km walk on a cool day that refrains from more precipitation than drizzle
