10/1/2021 0 Comments Sunlight on Flesh, by John GreySunlight on flesh - the blood knows it’s there – even the marble statue thaws a little – (did her naked toe just move?) – your kiss - similar effect – even the memory, that shopping aisle of enjoined lips – the rose garden of fluttering color and thornless stalks – or the ascending stairs where the room at the top reaches down to pull me up – one shadow slinks away – another dissolves – a departing bird leaves its song behind – the field is free for me to sing it. John Grey is an Australian poet, US resident, recently published in Sheepshead Review, Poetry Salzburg Review and Hollins Critic. Latest books, Leaves On Pages and Memory Outside The Head are available through Amazon. Work upcoming in Lana Turner and International Poetry Review.
