once upon a word

my dream screen snapped
like an overheated crystal
mapping out a seepage layout
of your green quick silver body


for us to meet in a snapshot like
in the fountain bucket mirror like
you and me

fresh good old water
stars full your cupped palms
for me to sniff
for me to sip

for me and you to hide inside
a honeycomb cell
a litany
the moon

within meek darkness
wherein we kissed
once upon a word
