		untitled (***he made me out of his own eyes)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		he made me out of his own eyes
		out of the whisper of leaves
		which were beyond me
		he built me out of words
		that effused with spring
		then
		he found in the touch the mouth
		domiciled under the narrow moon
		pensive he paused
		exactly when my hands lived
		hugely golden
		among his furrowed brows
