Letterpress Broadside Print in "Terra Firma" Folio "You Ask Me How I Feel by Susan Shephard You ask me how I feel as we move in syllables, I bend over you, the spill of dark hair a waterfall hissing deep in the woods of the heart. This love is a sword placed between us. Your eyes, falcon gold, are melancholy and hooded. Your briefly parted lips, a book I want to steal the words from with a litany of kisses. What I know of this love is an affliction, it is a sick bird perched on a hurting rib, but oh, how beautiful the gathered curtain of your breast. I want to put my hand through where life announces itself and shivers like ea bell, is a star at its zenith. Your voice in my ear is a whirlpool of feeling, your voice calling up from the bottom of a well. But this, this is an exact blade knifing the heart, so exquisitely so, that in the undertow our bodies fall into themselves with the radiance of coming into this world, as we waken to a harsh light, to the sluggish matter of the pond, whatever weights, divides us, separated by the living skins."Type of Print
