Damask
On the 17th June 1631, the 22 year Taj Mahal project began. So here's my own much smaller Monument to Love, particularly the experience of falling in love for the first time, which, of course, is the sweetest thing.
Thick draped cloth.
Pools everywhere.
I want to lie in it.
Become absorbed in.
The creases.
Each one inviting a new place.
To hide.
And to be.
Within the sultry curves.
Of beauty in.
Fabric form.
Silk against.
Silky skin.
The lightness.
And darkness,
Of being
Young and
Dropping
Lightly
Into
The
Full
Heavy
Experience
Of
Love.
