because i love you)last night
 
  because i love you)last night

clothed in sealace
appeared to me
your mind drifting
with chuckling rubbish
of pearl weed coral and stones;

lifted,and(before my
eyes sinking)inward,fled;softly
your face smile breasts gargled
by death:drowned only

again carefully through deepness to rise
these your wrists
thighs feet hands

poising
to again utterly disappear;
rushing gently swiftly creeping
through my dreams last
night,all of your
body with its spirit floated
(clothed only in

the tide's acute weaving murmur

the persistent 'r' and 'l' sounds as if one is gargling or gasping for breath from under water. Nice effect. Can't tell if it is someone dying by drowning or drowning in orgasm,

imagery of a body rising in the water
