William F Dougherty - Girl with Waltz-Blue Eyes

2014-11-10 1

The girl with waltz-blue eyes
bewilders my breath,
braces me mute:

she puffs, my frisky student,
slow feelings into
pinwheels

while in her wheat-blonde hair
my fingers tease
eager curls.

Even as after-taste
she tingles in my blood
like peppermint.
