Wordspill:The Yellow Laburnum by Jonathan Daniel Luther

Trapped

Midst Thanatos and Eros
This Yellow Laburnum wilts.
But Slowly steady
it’s Sun
Approaches.

These, the days
Grow hotter
And stronger.
The force of
A bull.
The heat of
An anghiti.

The Laburnums bloom
Strident yellow
Fiery fire.
Matched
Pace to heat.
A Hectoring Blaze!

O do unto me
As the Summer Sun
Does to the Laburnum!
Scorching Passion,
A flaming emotion.

With tongues of red
And fingers orange!
Ablaze as Indra on a
Cloud alights.
So bloom my petals.
They bleed fire!

And trails of Red
The fingers of desire.
I rake them
down your blazing back!
A scream
Of sweat.

Each droplet drenched
In withering passion.
Consume
In your blaze
My burnished blooms.
Feed That fire!
And In some
Sultry moment.
As a stallion lost
On a wild charge!
I’d open my being.
And with burning
Yellow laburnums
Scream!
