    Alone. All one.
    I return and sense, that things are not the same as before,
    but feel had I stayed, everything would likely seem the same.
    Schematics: A Love Story
    "The mathematical poetics of time, or what matrices reveal about the matters of the heart."
    "We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”  T. S. Eliot

    Wisteria Woman 
    by Lisa Shields

    "Violet lavender drug 
    slipping beneath my skin, 
    shucking off the stale air 
    of too long shut in, 
    too long shut away 
    whispering to me 
    to breathe deep and be.

    The clothes fall away 
    till I stand like mother Eve 
    two bites before the apple. 
    Lips blush to rose, 
    and the tongue tastes 
    of sweet tart pomegranate, 
    while a wisp of wind 
    carries hair to frame my face.

    All I have been is pollen dusted, 
    oh the wisteria sweet 
    kissing deep, 
    till I feel the promise of fertile, 
    drooping fat on a vine 
    petals that promise nothing, 
    but hint at all.

    A month from honeysuckle still to come, 
    but I can taste the nights, 
    raise my eyes to the mantle of sky, 
    suddenly clad in the skin 
    of every moonlit woman, 
    and beckoning with my being 
    for you to dance beneath 
    the far flung sky 
    in the arms of a Wisteria Woman"

    If_by_rudyard_kipling_neg
    Originally published in 1910 in Rewards and Fairies, Rudyard Kipling's poem If has been republished numerous times and translated into many languages. The evolution of the text during the first thirty years after it was originally published is reflected in the many diverse editions from the Dalhousie Kipling Collection presented here.
