waves break
upon heart’s shore
heart of many pieces
swells as the water rushes
onto the softened sand
and suddenly
there you are
washed up
naked startled
far from home
but then the
crows
a murder of them
to pluck out
quick-eyed love
to circle your translucent
light
in flashing blackness
and here I am
a stone
under a glassy gaze
thrown up now
besides your
lifeless curled up form
a hole in your side
leaking liquid love
staining sand
with some transcendent
goodness
I’ll lie by you a while
I’ll decide to die
to the hammer
blows of self
unite with you
as silence
like the evening
descends
I didn’t imagine
I’d rise with you
no
some white darting dove
broke through
the black flapping ranks
to brush a gentle
wing across our cheeks
it was like a kiss
you woke
and we both inhaled
the air of dreams
