connecticut charms

by Rachel Lynch

Adventures in lust and wonder.

My intellectual curiosity leading me to an equally curious lover.

The charms of playful banter - hours spent on the phone.

The full expression of my feminine - divine and still girl-like.

To hold a hand twice the size of mine, a sea of wonder as the fingers intertwine.

Will you be my summer love?

A question old as time.

ancient amulets

by Rachel Lynch

What if the place we descent to makes us better?

What was first perceived as falling is now ascension?

I play with time, I hold her passing in my locket.

And when I fall, I open my amulet.

A light bursts forward - anicent wisdom pours forth,

And I am held in my hard work, and the work of all the women who have come before me.
