Sea-Me
2008
Our shadows are taller than ourselves.
Natalie Clifford Barney
Night Light
Rose-warm light spreads
Unbounded
Over sea, sky, land.
Your eyes find me
Unclothed
Mouth on mouth
Ranging
Fingers in petal softness
Fire desire.
Fragment
Like a shell
On the beach
I enclosed
My self
Isolate
Whole
Contained
But you searched
Me out
Uncovered
Laid me bare
In love
Complex
A part.
Dream on
Rapt
In your soft
Perfumed presence,
My senses
Sleep,
Breathing in
The dream
Of your oneness
With me,
But still
You walk
Away.
