Swing fan the fire

those legs are crossed under desk those thighs before the buttock pressed tight as one leg falls free to a sweet swing a pendulum the quiet fire an ember await a return to ignite elongated fingers sweep across the keys of the computer typing to Miles "Kind of Blue." coincidence the night spent morning anew today with thought © 2010 Lepadah

What poetry is for

This is what poetry is for, to capture a moment in time significantly, a moment that is recognizable and familiar to the reader. I like the brief rhyme toward the end.
