Miracle, Root, Saffron, Immigrant + Next Week's Words & Your Suggestions.

Hello again, poets! And so here we are again,  another week, another batch of words redefined and seen anew.  We hope you enjoy what we have in store for you and that you will continue to work with us on these definitions.  Without further ado.....

water falling all ten ways at once   (miracle)

the meeting of juice
and rind
tiny cathedral
open for the first time   (miracle)

the scent of you
a moon climbing my legs   (saffron)

taste of sunset
fleshed out in a beggar's bowl of rice   (saffron)

man thing
earth encrusted
prickled at the taste of rain    (root)

we reach pretty far to drink
even if we've always lived here   (root)

the one picture they have of us
we're not even in                          (root)

she who knows the moon upside-down
whistles a tune no one else can hear      (immigrant)

your thumb on my belly
traveling between knee-cap and nipple
hot breath on the back of your hand        (immigrant)


Don't forget to leave suggestions in the comments for future words to explore.  This week's picks are:
