a most informal note

a most informal note
plain white bond
overlaid with penciled curves
casual arcs of invitation
light and fluid
longing strokes

His eyes rolled along the undulations
     traced the full and soaring C
     into the dizzy, spiraled o
     then the playful rise and fall of m
    with the extended swirl of e
launching him toward possibilities
all underscored by the swooping arrow
whose tip bid him shift
               his attention
                         and his person
                                   toward the garden door

"Come …”
     was ample summons
     and all he need read
     leaving unscanned
     her postscript –

lose yourself in the garden and find yourself in me
