kneel next to me

kneel next to me

kneel next to me
and weave
together shadow
with the breath we sow
from lip to lip.

draw moon’s full drape
and shape
this sculpt of hands
and braided fingertips-
night’s silken slips.

    in windfull grasses bend
    our bodies down again
    in timeless place,
    in wordless prayer.

Alcuin of York - on June 10 2007
"Weave together shadow" grates for me. I feel the "shadow" should be plural. The image is nice, but that particular line seems off.
The 3rd stanza is the best by far. You alliterate in small doses, which is just enough for this piece.
