This was a fun prompt… I originally wrote it “my love”… and then changed to “my man” (how the Scottish talk about husbands).

From WRITE IT!
Surrealist poet André Breton wrote a list poem "Freedom of Love" that described his wife with wrists of matches...with buttocks of swans' backs... with eyes of water to be drunk in prison. Think of a beloved, or maybe just your first crush. Now describe them in a list that plays fast and loose, associating not for sense but for feeling.

After André Breton

My man with the forest walk, attuned to the whitetail, blue jay,
silk-furred mole
My man with the hush talk bounding fawn
surprise
My man with the leaf hands, veined and possible,
cascading flutter and touch, dexterous to the ax and awl
My man with the face of an otter, scritching tic swim family,
frisky whiskers
My man with the hard nut face of an acorn crosshatched cupule,
legacied and lithe
My man with the cantina eyes of blue tile stone,
skipped across the hairbreadth
My man with the scent of bark's husk musk
My man with the gasp of neck fin
My man with mowed grass amazement
My man with the hipless Lycra stretch
My man with the shoe drop utterances scattering
birds
My man with legs squared to the watertower
My man with panhandle feet
My man with the cap-wearing airlessness,
scrim stubble, uncanny canopy,
arboreal dreams
