THE OCEAN WITHIN HER
an updraft
tosses a gull
above a mast
wind began to blow
rain started to fall
laughter scattered over sunset
she longs for his
touch...an anticipation almost
...too... much
his touch
just inches away now
her world in slow motion
just above her pubic hair
an archipelago of islands
the birthmark intensely blue
his eyes
touching her
all over
she never felt naked
when she was naked
dressed in his love
she wore her nakedness
as if it were exotic
plumage
naked his hands
dressing her
in his caresses
her hands
like birds taking flight
her eyes bluer than any sky
her hand
stroking gently his shoulder
she licks his clavicle
a lizard clings
to the china figurine
its tongue snatches a fly
she remembers
the fraction of a second
in which the kiss happens
she breathes in
the scent of his skin
kisses a pulse in his neck
he takes her
& takes her deep
into a place where she's herself
she dives down down
into the uncharted
oceans within her
after they make love
they listen to a dray horse
pissing copiously on the morning
TELEGRAM
he thought about
his wife's skin
asleep on another continent
awake
he saw her asleep
dreaming about them
she was dreaming
about him
dreaming about her
she dreams his kiss
moans and moves
digital clock flicks to 00: 00
a squally North wind
scatters her drams
on the loo...pees and smiles
the telegram of his death
trembles in her hands
above her head a flock of birds
