Synesthetic You

Synesthetic You
for Tammy

-- Big Frank Dickinson

The image of your touch is
A girl in pigtails running toward swings.

The sound of your skin is a gentle wind
Playing with cattails on a prairie pond.

Your breath is of a time
Long gone yet still to come.

Your voice carries the fragrance
Some pealed peaches pushing my tongue.

And the taste of your heart is
The siren song gone long.
