Meridian

by Paul - Libra


My thin Lisa stretching
by the window

tensing the meridian line
of her long waist into
a taut bowstring,
a hollow seam,
a  spine 
etched through the quartered muscle 
and the flaring ribs
up to the lean breasts
furled on their spars of bone.

Beautiful hare
caught running
by the light;
snared in the blue field
where a lone jet ploughs
a white furrow.

Two halves of an animal
perfectly sewn 
into something more
than their parts.

Her warmth,
where she lay curled beside me,
starts to fade.
